It is time to call it quits when you can’t lift the grog to your lips!
The last ship is sailed on, which was in 2017, had ECDIS with AIS. But that had been installed only in 2016. Prior to the upgrade, we had a...
Wow! Deviant & swinging. . . all in the same message? OK. it's up to me to realign this thread. LOL (And I thought professional Merchant...
When I was sailing in the US Merchant Marine, we swung ship every year AND after the shipyard. For the yachties, I figure it's probably a good...
Youse guys are doing it wrong. Don't need no compai. Have GPS, and besides. "I'm as constant as the Northern Star.", I say. "Constantly in the...
The Propublica version is difficult to finish, as my emotions prevent me from finishing. Emotions of rage & sorrow. Because I was a radarman on...
Oh, one more thing - the freezer compartment in the galley is pretty weak. Owner #2 of my boat had the foresight to put an ice maker and an...
As you mentioned, the boat's rated CE "A". Here's the definition of "A" from documents from that side of the pond: "A. Ocean: Designed for...

Pee bottles, kettlebells in CIC??? I am beyond speechless. Certainly not the destroyers I was on in '71 & 72. I guess the admirals and other...

Are there any updates on this? I've got weathered caulking topside, where wheelhouse sides meet deck (black lines in picture). Both are gel...
When the mechanic was aboard, I seem to recall he disconnected the airbox-hence no air restriction. But the fuel pressure? Yeah, that sounds...
Sorry for confusion. When engine had "annual" done there was no "stalling". After about 4 months, the stalling (or pausing) problem suddenly...
Roger fishing. But it's the idea the engine wasn't "stalling" on the acceleration before, and now it is. But I'll look into the waste gate! Thanks.
Ken, Thanks for the tip. I'll pass on to engine guy Nope: Boat hauled in May. Clean bottom/clean wheel
I'd say "yes". When the volvo tech was aboard, he told me to "slam" the throttle from "engaged idle" to WOT. There was a definite and short...
