You measured it while the gates were open. You're good, and gutsy.;) Actually you'll find the tide on the south end of the canal lowest just...
The marina where one of the boats I run docks is extremely colorful with reds, charcoals, black, dark blue, light blue, teal,a couple of shades of...
Short Memories It's now been less than 2 weeks since this tragedy, and I've already noticed the lackadaisical attitude returning with boats...
Guess you never worked as mate on a dinner yacht. You start with a clicker, and watch for anyone drinking too much, getting green, looking...
That formula makes no sense to me at all, but that's the only one I've heard. And I can't figure out for the life of me why they can figure out a...
Without cause to refuse I'd have to. I've had boats where the weight told me we were putting too much strain on the motors, and I warned the...
With as many fireworks displays as I've been out for I have no doubt about big wakes being thrown when things start to break up, especially since...
I've kept track of 400.
There definitely is a move to blame, both here, in the general public and with the lawyers. This boat WAS overloaded. The results prove that....

When I was in Florida I used to do the fireworks. My first year we relaxed after the show before pulling anchor. There were 100'+ yachts out...
I would love to see that tattooed on the forearm of every new boat owner.:cool: Not that it happens all that much, but I'm at a loss as to what...
I've found the older Silvertons a lot more squat and stable than the newer ones, and was surpriised to see that this was a mid-80's. The newer...
You'll hate me for this Carl, but you need to photoshop that pic, and raise that cloud break behind the end of the port wing tip so the wing tip...
27 does seem a bit extreme, but who knows what the magic number is. I believe the Oldports carry somewhere near that as water taxi's, so it's not...
One thing I never understood. Commercial vessels have stability and passenger limits. Recreational vessels under (I believe) 28' have passenger...
Bad reason to swap out the radar. You have the "spinny thing". It's inside the dome. That's a closed array as opposed to an open array that you...
