So they say, but the Captain was pulling weather. The girl onboard the ship called her family less than 24 hours before and told her family...
Arneson is very efficient. I usually see less than 1% prop slip on Arneson boats. However, they are always headaches. If you have 2 barnacles...
It doesn't even matter, even the local TV stations were broadcasting it's projected path and wind speed and present location and all of it was...
Yes, but I think that stems from the Captain. He should have called a Mayday and told them the gravity of the situation. I don't think a RORO...
According to the third recorded phone call with Tote guy and USCG, the USCG guy mentioned that the boat has been dewatered. Who knows if he even...

I've found the Explorer charts are not as good as they used to be since the owner died. I like the new Maptech set. It covers the entire Bahamas...

I've had this happen from 3 different causes, low oil level, clogged gear filter, or the oil pump for the gear going bad, make that 4 the cable to...
They can be. I've seen Algae grow in the pre-filters and stuff. Should be flushed every 2 weeks so the membranes stay wet. I've run them in any...
No, I used one in the NE with no trouble at all. Even in the Hudson river, unfortunately but had too. Long story.
Ohhhh yeah.....Might as well rebuild both raw water pumps, starters, alternators and on and on!
