Subject: Photos "The Last Hoorah - Roaming Rondy" to Gulf Islands

This photo album is unedited.

The last photo/video was with my R-27/OB ploughing into a 15 mph head wind with some 2 to 4 foot waves hitting at some 20 feet apart. Speed was at around 10 to 12 mph.

There are two distinct noise you can hear in the background... Oh...and see in the video how well the water is simply washed away/off the windshield that has been treated with Crystal Keep - Crystal Fusion Technologies without the need to use the wipers. This was an excellent example of how well this Crystal Fusion glass treatment works. The curved windshield also is a big contributor along with the 15 mph headwind.

The two background noises...

1) Is the continuous creaking and groaning coming from the port side of the cabin and from the area at and slightly forward of the port side nav's sliding window. This noise was quite annoying for me.

2) The constant 'water slapping' noises as the hull encountered the waves.

It was simply very noisy and I give credit to my onboard Wire Hair Fox Terrier from not howling, although he did at times creep up under the helm seat with his head poking out between my dangling legs with the hopes I'd noticed and scratch his chin and/or stroke his ears for comfort. :lol:


New boater's for the R-27/OB will need to get used to this type of noise when in similar water conditions.

Barry,
Where'd you buy the Crystal Fusion glass treatment. I just looked for it, and didn't find it. Amazon and WM didn't have it. I watched the video, I was impressed how the water just ran off the windshield.
Thanks,

Oh.... and BTW.... that video shows the water being run off the windshield after the Crystal Fusion had been applied over 1 year ago. During the whole cruise with that windy and gnarly water condition I never had to use the wipers.... the Crystal Fusion glass treatment was that good.

As an aside, I also use this Crystal Fusion for my auto's windshield. 😀
 
Thanks for the pics, Barry... it was a fun jaunt into Canadian waters, visiting a couple of marinas we'd never been to before. The wild and crazy bus ride to the Hummingbird Pub was a blast! Next time we'll just bring Jake!
