We are going to go to a Shrimp House near Fort Myers Beach this year. The name of the restaurant is Salty Papas Shrimp House. Located at 15271 McGregor Blvd, Suite 1, Fort Myers, Florida 33908 http://saltypapasshrimphouse.com/ I ate there and the shrimp was fresh off the boat docked down the street. The Chesapeake group are busy making summer party plans. The discussion is being held on the bulletin board. discussion and see what plans are underway. Go to the category Dock Parties to join in the For the rest of you, It s getting late to get a marina booked for a summer dock party. Those of you who tried to put something together and were not able to find slip space, should be getting on the ball if you want to try it again this year. It will be the same thing this year if you don t get to work on it now. I know it is snowing and cold right now, but other boating groups are already planning and reserving space. Don t get left out again this year. With low fuel prices, there will be a lot of boating activity and that means crowded marinas and more difficulty with getting dock space. We don t do dock parties in June or September so that only leaves a few summer weekends to have them. There is no interest in Raft ups so that is not a real option. 9 times out of 10, the weekend that one is planned, the weather is bad and the wind is blowing so nobody shows up. There might be a few seats left. Contact the webmaster. Sit back, relax and enjoy a trip to the Miami Boat Show! This show features more than 3,000 boats and 2,000 exhibitors. Trip includes transportation on a coach bus, entry fee, parking, driver gratuity, tolls, and light refreshments on the bus.

It's mounted under the aft portion of the galley and has pretty good access from a panel next to the sofa end. It's been giving me problems and I've decided to change it out. I've read a number of threads on AC issues/replacement, but I'd like to hear from you folks who have done this change-out yourself if it's pretty straight forward for a DITY project. I don't want to get a replacement unit that has different size water lines and duct work and have to deal with that as well. Appreciate your thoughts from those who have been there before. I haven't decided on a particular unit but I like what I read about the ones from Flagship Marine. I'll probably go with the unit that' provides a straight forward change-

Exterior frame screws mostly accessible but oddly enough several are under the flybridge overhang. How the heck do these come out? Worse yet, the flybridge cockpit drain dumps water down the window. Any ideas to fix would be appreciated. Garret Meyer "Gypsy Soul" 2000 352 motoryacht/454 Crusader engines Crosswinds Marina Apex, North Carolina Jordan Lake gmsellerman@gmail.com member since 2015
