Prairie View A&M University News June 26, 2020 PVAMU’s Educator Preparation Program awarded top recognition for producing high-performing educators The Whitlowe R.

Will include a single loop of the Steelman bike course and will begin promptly at 7am from the boat launch by the ranger station in the transition area of the Steelman race (see Steelman French Creek website for more details about location… http://www.steelmantriathlon.com/fc/index.php). This will be the slower paced of the two groups (11-14 MPH avg).

The next two birds will fly into the Facebook page, Twitter feed and Instagram site over the next two days, then voting will commence on the Atlas-3 website at https://www.birdsontario.org/ Check out the avian choices on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/search/top?

> > So, my question is this, does anyone know of any landseer breeders that would top the list of good Newfoundland breeders? If this question is a no no, you could respond privately to me.

The chain locker is deep with more than foot, more like 2 feet clearance from top of the chain pile to the windlass. I check the gypsy and it is the correct one for 5/6” G4 chain. My question is what would cause the chain to “hop” in the gypsy when retrieving the rode. When the chain is straight up and down and no load or angle it works normally.

wanted to leave for our journey within 1.5 to 2 years. We have a 2 (now lobbying for 3) year cruising window enabled by family matters being fairly settled down. When we purchased the boat neither daughter was engaged. Both ended up getting married 3 months prior to our departure. Parents are healthy or being cared for by other siblings. This meant ordering or building a boat was out of the question. B. Quality: I was willing to pay more for a quality product. I had a budget of 500 to 800K and wanted to buy the least amount of boat that would do the job. C. Capability: I wanted a boat that was ocean capable enabling me to circumnavigate, even though I reset my goals to more of a coastal route (due to my lack of real ocean experience). My rational was a boat capable of crossing oceans would have additional engineering and safety margin that would benefit my chosen routes D. Size: I wanted two staterooms, realizing the number of times the guest stateroom would be used would be small. I was willing to have a single head, but it had to have a good shower and other facilities. I wanted less than 50 feet because of how few slips above 45 there were in the Puget Sound. E. Fit and Finish: My wife needed to feel "at home" in the boat, this left the Diesel Duck out because at the time they were still a bit rough. F. I wanted a fiberglass boat, single screw, diesel, wet or dry exhaust, Pilot house, a fly bridge would be nice, but not necessary, active stabilizers with Paravanes as backup (if ocean crossing). At the end it came down to three boats, a Nordhavn 43 a Nordhavn 40 or a Krogen 44. If money hadn't been an issue I would have chosen the Krogen 44. I believe it's a nicer looking boat, is capable of doing the job and has superior living accommodations. Unfortunately I couldn't swing it at 800K. It would have been closer to 1M to completely outfit it. I found the Nordhavn 43 was squeezed so small in the engine room (to get the extra fuel range) that I couldn't move around in it. So that left the Nordhavn 40. I found a slightly used one for $500k and negotiated an offer, brought it to Seattle and put another 30 or 40k into it. We left in August for our 3 year cruise. I'm convinced it was the right course of action. I'll know a lot more in a year or so. If I were making the decision today, I'd also consider a Selene or the newer Diesel Duck. Oh, Seahorse also makes a fiberglass trawler, I'd consider that as well. If you take some of the other issues, like timing and fit and finish out of the equation, I would likely have made a different decision. Hope that helps.
