I never understood Bertram's thinking there, either. There were actually two sets of chocks on the deck to hold two identical Danforths. We took...
We put an 85 pound Mantus on our Bertram 42, that stores on the pulpit, and I made the huge Danforth that came with it into an ornament in our...
When I lived in south Florida, and whenever we return on our boat, I was/am constantly amazed that there are not a dozen boating fatalities every...
We have the 42 model Bertram motor yacht, and I, too, have thought about just losing the whole bridge area. As you can see, we only have a bimini...
That's all it says. Here is the other peculiar thing. We initially wanted an agreed value policy. The premium for that, at the actual purchase...
We just had our 1973 Bertram 42 MY renewed by Geico in March. Year five on this boat and policy, no new survey asked for. The policy premium...
Getting a decent sized CC to the Bahamas can be a pain, especially if you do decide to tow it there, but once you're there, they are a lot of fun.

Apparently Chuck Yeager did this once at a festival at his home town and the local paper reported it. But, when Air Force investigators showed...

I recently ready that book. As a retired DEA agent, I found it to be quite entertaining, and even I learned some new stuff about Norman's Cay.
