Thread reminds me of stories from my father who built a small sailboat as a youngster in Miami and would sail with a friend to the Bahamas from...
Look, I can appreciate the art of condescension as much as anyone. But my 250 feet of 1/2" HT chain might weigh a hair more than you're...
Being in good shape is not even in the discussion. The boat needs to be in good shape, and you need to know what to do when (rarely if) something...
dock cart trick works like a charm right up to the point where the next 50 feet of chain collapses the whimsy cart. Then you go get the work float...

This storm had a significant disparity contrasting upper level winds (where the Hurricane Hunters fly and measure) as compared to what folks on...
No doubt. Can't believe you'd find one shark swimming alone in the carpool lane...
What? I can't hear you...
