We are currently cruising our Islander Freeport 36 sailboat in Mexico. We have been extensively documenting our outfitting for this adventure. Also, what works and what is not of value.
Screen/scoop for the thru hulls purchased - 2024
At least two screens/scoops for the thru hulls are broken on the bottom of the boat. They are missing at least one tooth of the screen. We decided to pick up one #5 scoop and some screws for it. It is for a 3/4 thru-hull at San Diego Marine Exchange.

Headlamp Rechargeable,1200 Lumen Ultra Bright LED Head Lamp Flashlight with White Red Light, 2 Pack Motion Sensor Waterproof Headlight.

Our tables we have now are old by today's standards. We are hoping this will take the place of my laptop and tablet we currently have.
Sperry Men's Billfish 3-Eye Boat Shoe purchased 2024
I did need something to wear while we are underway on our Islander Freeport 36' sailboat. I would go like this; I would walk up and raise the anchor in my Crocks because they would get dirty from the washing down of the anchor etc.
Update:
We sent these back as I need a 13 winde which they do not make I belive. I did like the Sperry Sport shoe also but Sam problem. I just want so deck shoes for sailing while not on the hook or at the dock.

Purchased this from Amazon for when the baby's from the man-of-war are around, they sting but I can still be in the warm water cleaning the bottom or snorkeling without getting stung.

Crocs Unisex-Adult Classic Clogs purchased 2024
These I like for working around the boat. They protect my feet from stays and my heals from the stays and other object. Easy on/off and they float. They can get dirty\wet raising the anchor and clean up easily. I have been ripping the strap off and the buttons that hold it on so they do not scratch up the deck while i am working on my knees or catch on things without the strap attached.

Haven't talked much about my CPAP machine on the boat. Currently I have a ResMed AirSense™ 11 AutoSet™ CPAP Machine. I turned off the AutoSet because I was getting RainOut (water in the hose) in the tube and mask. I use the settings #4 humidity level and 82deg for hose temperature.
