Bill Penny adapter find, super low cost at $40 shipped (now $43 plus maybe shipping). http://elecordset.com/moreinfo.aspx?pid ... .aspx&ai=M

We bought four sets last year. All worked great.

Victor

Bob, takes a lot of wattage to support your drinking habits on these trips

I'm counting on you to keep me hydrated!

Does this mean I have to be the designated navigator so we don't get lost?
Well sir I refuse . I need my rum also.

If you haven't done so, call in your reservations at Southport Marina for May 8th, (910-457-9900) and Wilmington docks for May 9th, (910-520-6875).
See everyone in about a month.
We still have room for more if anyone wants to join. Come on everyone lets take Southport by Macstorm.
Cpt. Ron & Admiral Cindy
s/v Storm Walker

I talked with Southport and they said we had 6 boats that have called in their reservation and I have counted 11 boats that have confirmed to show. So call early and they will try and get us together for the night. Just tell them you are with the Macgregor group.

I apologize and thanks for clearing that up. That should be everyone then. See every one on the 8th.

Reservations made for Southport and Wilmington. Southport is advising that a 50 to 30 amp adapter may be needed as mentioned earlier. Does anyone have a link to the proper adapter? The link vkmaynard posted earlier does not work. Thanks, Bryan

$43 plus http://elecordset.com/moreinfo.aspx?pid ... .aspx&ai=M

Sandy and I are going to have to back out on the run. We had a mishap today after loading the boat Sandy decided to trim trees thru the parking lot. Twisted the Mast and bent the spreaders.Will cancel reservation shortly

Take the rigging off and motor? I've lived through the shame. It's not that bad, it looks and acts like a cabin cruiser.

I agree with Mastreb... We'll probably be doing a bit of motoring on the Cape Fear river considering the tides... I'm taking Syzygy up to the Erie Canal and Lake Champlain in about a month and we're not going to bother taking the mast with us. Think of the time you'll save in getting the boat in the water at the ramp.

That's what I'd do - use it as a trawler. Better than missing out on the fun.

If you have a MRS, then pin it on, attaching the forestay to the deck fitting in the normal fashion, add a couple of short lines to lifeline stanchions to hold it there, and stick a cheap masthead (steaming) light on it. Borrow the plug from the mast, or just get another one, and you're legal in the dark as a power vessel. Or borrow the existing masthead light from your mast, and put it back when you get the mast fixed or replaced. Take you an hour.
