Aye Capt. J. Interesting trip for sure. I thought about volunteering for the run, but lazied out. Being the Junior guy onboard I would probably...
Thanks Capt. J. I may go further on this deal. How was the run from Nassau? Boring hopefully, which is good in your business. :))
All true, expensive parts and salt in the air. Yeah, will rinse and repeat after each cruise, no problem. Still debating whether I want to take on...
Ok, thx again. Will, keep thinking about it. This one is priced a bit high for the year, even with the Long Block. (Fuel system, turbo and...
Thanks K1W1. Turns out the engine in the boat I am looking at is not quite a brand new 2015 Volvo D6, but rather a 2015 Long Block. The original...
I plan to be around for very long time and a good diesel, like the one in my previous boat, a Perkins 4-108, can run 15,000 hours if taken good...
Looking at an Albin 28TE with this engine. The Volvo was installed new in 2015 and have 110 hrs total time on it. Seems high tech with double...
Yeah, but only met Judy and Capt. J so far. (Judy was the better looking:)) The boat was a Baia 59

Speed Trial, need to tweak them props. Had a nice day on the water. Capt J is a great guy, first time I met him. Also a good driver, but he forgot...
[ATTACH] Went for a boat ride with Captain J today.
A thoughtful Scottish husband was putting his coat and hat on to make his way down to the local pub. He turned to his wee wife before leaving and...
It probably came with a kg of coke. Car looks a lot better then:)
Yup, be careful with stern anchoring, it could bite you.
Aye, never boated in California, yeah more chain and more line for sure. Had a similar stern-anchor setup on my 33' sailboat, 50' of chain and...
Not sure he is going to face much current anchoring in coves. A stern anchor can be useful for staying "in place" if in a tight anchorage and...
Yeah, different kind of ship for the crossings: Here is a Wiki blurb on the Knarr: Knarr is the Norse term for ships that were built for Atlantic...
You sailed for years but anchoring has never been a big deal..? I guess you sailed from marina to marina never gotten your anchor wet except for...
It doesn't count crossing the Atlantic in a jet. Real men do it in Viking Ships and I was not so busy goofing off, I'd go Out there and do it...
