Hi Judy. The more KISS the better. What I've always found is that professionals (notoriously mechanics) often head straight for the complicated...
Never mind that. Imagine being the lory driver and explaining it to his (probably ex) boss.:eek:
That's exactly what I thought you were thinking about, and why I broached it as I did. It's rare that you're wrong about anything. But that's...
Boy do I ever hate to disagree with K1W1. It makes me feel like I'm about to eat my words. So let me state that this is said with all due...
Sorry, you're wrong again. The op is talking about crossing the pond. There are no sooner inlets. The first third of his trip is out, the last...
Every boat is different. I ran a 60 Pred for several years, every weekend and a trip to Miami. The owner only knew fast. 2300 RPM (90%) gave us...
WRONG! Basic boating, rule of thirds. One third out, one third back and one third in reserve for the unexpected or emergencies. Base your range...
Man did you pick the wrong place for that to happen. Best suggestion I can give is to contact the marina in Fenadina Beach Joe Springer, Marina...
No it's not. I'm on the water 57 years (since I was 6), and 25 professionally, and I rarely spend a day on the water without learning something...

I was recently in a discussion with someone, possibly on YF, who was telling me that he generally goes around Hatteras on the outside. I told him...
I hope I'm reading this wrong, but this is not a trans-atlantic boat, range being only one of the concerns. Another thing I wonder about is...
Where were your friends when you decided to buy a 15 year old Carver without even a sea trial? Just the fact that there's no OD and the engine...
To me, when I hear the same shaft broke again 6 years later (and neither due to a strike), I have to wonder about a constant stress like...
I think that what you're describing is the come home feature on many single screw boats. However it lacks the power to actually operate a yacht...

I think you're right Brian. My oak trees have dumped a huge amount of acorns. That's usually a sign. But don't forget that our weather gives us...
OK, that reminded me of several conversations I got into on late nights back in the 60's. I was never very good at French, but is your location...
