It is a little boat, even though some respondents would have you believe a megayacht salary applies. Despite what a few Sons of Magellan would...
I just had gas piped to a house in Fort Lauderdale for free. The gas company tapped into the main and ran the branch to the house.
Are you taking the boat to within 50 miles/meters of Amsterdam or picking it up 50 miles/meters from Amsterdam? Without a departure point or...
The near hilarious melodrama of the following:
We probably stole the term from the Limeys. :) It is in the Admiralty Manual of Seamanship and was used in the early 1800s (HMS Unicorn) to...

About 2/3 (but shrinking) of the stern tubes on larger vessels (yachts included) are oil lubricated but that isn't what Henning brought up when he...
Trust me, I won't and since as many readers here know I get paid to mess around with little boats as well, I don't know why he brought big ships...
