I may have to revise my opinion she will be cut up in place. It looks like they have a sound, well thought out, plan to salvage the ship. Costa...
Yes, years ago sailing as delivery crew on a 57' Columbia sloop to New York. We woke up one morning 100 miles off the Virginia coast to find we...
Wow! Nice looking boat. She does have a kind of "military" look about her.
I have to agree with others. A course is a good idea to learn basic seamanship, navigation, and maintenance. However, if you are planning on...
Two man racing cat was more likely doing around 20 knots if there was any kind of wind. I had a 14' Hobie as a teenager and could get what felt...
Most boats will get their best mileage just below hull speed. Since you may not want to go everywhere at 6 knots the next best speed will be just...
I missed the Discovery Channel documentary on the Costa Concordia the first time but caught it today. According to their experts, though they...
Look at 1:16-1:28. They show the ship perched precariously on the rock it's grounded on. That has to be doing damage.
They allude to damage of the hull on the starboard side but then make no provision to deal with it. I'm still betting she will be cut up in place.
I'm pretty sure those were semi-automatic AR-15 "M4geries" with 16" barrels. M4s have a 14.5" barrel. Still a very nasty weapon even without the...
It looks quiet today but in the last few days it looked like they were pumping more oil off. I've been checking the webcam most mornings while I...
Yeah, knew that, was just going with the spirit of the thread. In reality you would have no business buying a $50 million dollar yacht if you...
I don't know but that would be the plan too. I've never been to the south Pacific but I'd like to see for myself. The nice thing about a boat like...
60 meter steel expedition yacht similar to "Pangea". You can then forward my mail to the south Pacific for the next few years.
I think you're doing about the best you can. Members of the yacht club can agree on rules but boats from the public docks, and I'm assuming ramp,...
I have to believe you're trolling. [IMG]
Saw that. Didn't realize your concern was more out of pocket expense than ultimate cost.
If this is the boat I'm not sure I'd be heading off into open seas. Looks can be deceiving so it may be a true blue water boat That it's located...
You can get a cheap Tracfone and 60 minutes airtime at Walmart for about $40 You can also get a $10.00 phone from MetroPCS and unlimited text...
Yeah, saw that. Ooops!
