Zen...Dena and James seem like 'funkie' sort of folks...did ya get a chance to meet them?

[Zen]

Saddly I did not. I just came across thier site. Those folk boats he was speaking about were/are at the place I took my 1st 2 ASA classses. So there is a good chance I passed them at some point. At the dock on on the water.
Who knows maybe I'll meet up with them somewhere out on the water. James said there is a high likelyhood they will be in Hawaii for 5 years exploring before moving on.

That marinas site is excellent.  Lots of information to explore there!

Here's a "chart/pic" I put together a couple of years ago with a picture of Owl Harbor and a chart image of its location.



There's a guy up in B.C. who illustrates his sailing stories with "chart/pics."  They help the reader "see" the area being described.

Was look for information on the SailRite 'Apprentice' sewing machine I picked up.  I found that SailRite has a discussion forum on their web site.

  Just started looking around, but it looks like a nice resource of those 'how do I do THAT' kind of sewing questions.

Tidal Current Tables

There are many sites for tide tables. But, they never tell you the time of slack water and max ebb/flood

This is the only one I ever found

Anyone found any others that might have more locations?

  For a slightly different perspective, the SSCA discusison forum is a great place to 'check in' from time to time.

Good link Zen,

  Most of our boats are 'giant' compared to the ones listed.   ;D

Guess those guys did not read 'Sail'  ;D

I always enjoy a good read of a long trip in a small boat. 

http://www.sailaway.us/blog.php

A trip from Canada to the Bahamas and back in the Hughes Northstar 500 (25') sloop Afterblue.  No tools.  No spares.  No galley.  No dinghy.  No charts.  Over preparation was not a problem here.  Enjoyable read, though the primary blog writer is polish and his English is occasionally creative.

Here's a tides/current site with some slack water and max/min flood/ebb info.

I use this site when planning my trips to SF Bay and back.

Hope this is useful.
