Ocean Reef, we wanted to stop there earlier this year and was told on the phone that the marina is only open to members and their guests. i'm...
at 70' due to draft you are stuck outside in Hawk Channel. Personally, draft permitting i like the inside route but over 5' draft and some spots...
a quality plastic tank will work just fine, pretty cheap. put in the biggest tank you can get in and as suggested by Henning, a vacuflush. it's...
low battery voltage? that will trigger a DC CO detector. last week, the main battery charger (only a few months old) got a little warm due to a...
you dont' really think they made a mistake, do you? Iran has been at this game for a while, like North Korea... someone need to have the OO to...
south florida is pretty easy and well charted. Out of Miami, with a 74 footer, your prime playground will be Biscayne Bay which has a few nice...
there was one like that, maybe just a little bigger, that made it on to the flats in Bisc. Bay,jsut south of Miami, around april. it was aground...
"but I usually cruise at 75-80% power in the 61 Viking SC with 1100 common rails" at 80% those engines are not going to last as long as they...
started replying yesterday but lost the wifi at Chub... i said $30 to $40k over a couple of years (that's two round trips).. i think i was...
yep... 12 kts on the typical sub 75 footer makes not sense (unless it's a true disp. hull). i know it may be hard to explain to a stubborn owner...
the owner of the 70 footer understand very well that the cost difference between 20kts offshore and 10kts in the ICW is about $10k and a lot less...
this was not your father's Bertie! this was a ferretti built bertram.... sorry, but i've seen too many many delivery skippers running flat...
since we're into sunsets and artistic shots, I took these last year running the Neuse on the way south at about 22kts.
i've never run one but... a couple of weeks ago a late model 60ish was rubbign against a piling in the next slip. the cracking noises were awful...
what is absolutely incredible is how they got the wing out of the shed, stepped on the boat, and then took the boat for a sail all on the same...
a chart is also worth a boat sometimes... :-) in reasonable weather, there is really no way to miss that channel... if the conditions are too...
here you go.. the route shown goes around the end of FP shoals, the route thru the cut woudl be a little more direct, off that buoy shown further...
i agree, that's the point i was trying to make. when i plotted both course from moorehead to Charleston the difference is 8NM, it's probably less...
ok, so that cut is pretty well marked, it dont' see how someone can miss it by two miles to hit a 4' shoal. if you nav is off by two miles, you...
not sure what "crack" you guys are talking about. from Moorehead city R10 to Charleston R16, if you go between R2 and G1 at FP, it's 200NM. is...
