If this is true it looks really bad for the captain: Cruise disaster: captain neared rocks in Facebook stunt for friend's family - Telegraph
It was pointed out in an earlier thread. I had posted a photo montage of stills from the video taken on the bridge of the Shonan Maru showing the...
Wow! That's a private cruise ship! Portfolio Emocean Yacht Design Edit: After looking a little, I don't know if anyone is actually...
Nice. I like it more than a lot of superyacht interiors I've seen.
Looks like a nice project boat. Catalina Island in good weather sounds like a reasonable goal. Do you have a copy of Chapman's Piloting and...
If you're talking "any ocean, any weather", I think you're talking about an 80-100' steel trawler yacht. At least for me. Even then you can get...
Nice video and quite a story.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all! Oh, and a Happy Holidays! to the rest of you.
This forum is heavily moderated and that probably makes it a better forum. One thing I have learned is moderators and administrators seldom like...

I was always taught, and practiced, to use blowers for 5 minutes prior to starting any engine. Once you have something running it's operation will...
Pretty cool but ultimately silly when you consider recovering the boosters saved them little if any money and may have actually cost them money....
Just curious, what speed does the boat cruise at? Sounds like a blast if the weather cooperates.
Me? I would find a protected anchorage near the gulf and raft up. If you're actually in the gulf you probably should have someone on watch all...
Wow! Those little suckers are cool. Kind of like a trans-atlantic Laser. Not for me today but at one time I would have been tempted.
I'd suspect he meant one of these: [IMG] Looks like a much more comfortable, if a lot slower, ride.
