Honeymoon Photo Tour. The Caribbean Caravan. Are Propane and Butane interchangeable with most boat systems? — Noonsite. Question posted 2009-01-17 Hello, We are a US boat sailing in the South Pacific and have a propane based cooking system.
I need to know if we can fill it with Butane when in the French islands. I know the two gases are similar in nature, but will our tanks and regulator make the required change with the different gas? Our stove is a ENO brand stove and states that both gases will work. We use a single stage tank mount regulator and an Aluminum 10lb LPG tank, both of which were purchased at West Marine. 1) Can I use my current Propane tank and fill it with butane, and will the local country be able to fill it? 2) Will my current regulator make the switch, or do I need a new regulator and appropriate hoses? Please help! Noonsite Pacific regional editor – Luc Callebaut answers: 1) Yes, the same tank can be filled with either propane or butane. It is also possible to get a local tank and use it to fill your tank by gravity. 2) Yes, your regulator and hose will work with either gas.

'If you have a rash that persists over weeks, you have to get it evaluated,' says Linden.
Likewise, if the look of a nipple changes, or if you notice discharge (and aren't breastfeeding), see your doctor. 'If it's outgoing normally and turns in,' she says, that's not a good sign. 'If your nipples are inverted chronically, no big deal.' Float plan. Meets & Greets. Vancouver Sailing Club and Sailing School. Cruisers & Sailing Forums.

It was played at full volume for 21 hours a day the entire time we were anchored. With a moderating sea and light winds on Sunday, we opted to weigh anchor and do an overnight passage along the northern coastline of Jamaica heading east towards the protected anchorage of Port Antonio 90 miles away, which you can see on the above map. We also wanted to check out the Errol Flynn Marina at Port Antonio as their website sounded marvellous.
We left at 5pm in 0.5 m swell and 2 - 10 knots of easterly wind. Last night was particularly exciting as Maynard's daughter gave birth to her 2nd child in England, our 5th Grandchild named Oliver. Our next passage will take us north through the Windward Passage which divides Cuba and Haiti. What Garbage.
