Worst case I hunker down in my bivy with the mosquito mesh zipped closed and the hope for the best in the a.m.<br />I was fortunate on this last trip, no problem to speak of at any of the anchorages.<br /><br />steveStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17060896232365651376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137810012036013226.post-27934116099222524682011-05-09T15:22:36.956-04:002011-05-09T15:22:36.956-04:00Dawn and I camped just south of the exit of Old Ca...Dawn and I camped just south of the exit of Old Canal into Turnagain Bay during Vacation to Hell I. It was great in the evening with a nice breeze, but that died overnight, and the mosquitoes were voracious in the morning--even 50-75 meters offshore.<br /><br />Sure am enjoying the trip log. Lots of new places to go!<br /><br />DaveFloatsomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17101756149607250369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137810012036013226.post-90710512783380154152011-05-08T19:39:42.391-04:002011-05-08T19:39:42.391-04:00Thanks Steve, very clear answer, I am actually in ...Thanks Steve, very clear answer, I am actually in love with browser, but the cs I found it easier to build, in addition to sail only with that cat ketch rig, it also seems easier, but the lines of J Welsford really do not have equal !<br /> Thanks again, greetings and await the next chapter of the blog.<br />DarwinDarwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01574027327852834329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137810012036013226.post-9845878619883107622011-05-08T17:00:21.892-04:002011-05-08T17:00:21.892-04:00Darwin,

Thanks for clarifying. <br />Both the navigator and core sound 17 are excellent boats, I do not think you could go wrong with either. I like both the yawl rig and the cat ketch, I think both have advantages over a sloop rig.<br />I do not know enough about the construction style of the core sound, though I think there is a good description on the b and b yachts website.<br />The navigator is much like the construction of the pathfinder. I was able to build the pathfinder and I have little or no woodworking skills. I suspect you could build both the cs and the navigator.<br />Both are great boats. Much of it comes down to style and what you like in the boat. I like the looks of the navigator/pathfinder, I like the stability and storage area too. The cs is a fast boat, no doubt, excellent for racing and I'm sure cruising too.<br />I don't think there is a bad choice between the two.<br /><br />steveStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17060896232365651376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137810012036013226.post-25526447063079390182011-05-08T16:32:07.628-04:002011-05-08T16:32:07.628-04:00The traslator google, is "sail" no candl...The traslator google, is "sail" no candle!

Take this opportunity to ask a question (if you think this is not the place, we will gladly spend my email) as I have in mind to discuss navigator, but it scares me a little building, I discovered the Core Sound, here, would be its comparison , regarding the difficulties in construction (never built) and the benefits to the candle.<br /> Greetings from the South<br /> DarwinDarwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01574027327852834329noreply@blogger.com
