I came into this business because it was my passion and my love for it. That's also what made me good at it. But doing the same thing every day...
Considering that I was quite successful for over 25 years, and made it to retirement without incident, I'd say you're wrong. But if you ever want...
I think you left some words out of your sentence. I'd also be very interested in your view of Captain John Wampler's actions, considering your...
Now THAT'S a captain screwing up. The evidence is all right there. Easy inlet that he should be familiar with, calm clear day, charted and...
That's real bad news. My guess is that when the pedistals were screwed in they didn't bother to caulk. Now water has gotten in and rotted to...
Everyone in this country is innocent until proven guilty, and I've yet to see quotation marks relating to statements by the company, the captain...
In a 30 year old boat the smell of diesel could be coming through the old hoses, but check for actual leaks or evidence of past leaks. Used to...

I think that in the past 7 years the OP may have already found his place in the world.
[ATTACH] My test is done. After applying the RX & Plexus in the split windscreen test a second time it was obvious that the RX was superior in...
Congratulations on a job completed successfully. Probably the hardest thing about new jobs is the fear of getting started an then not being able...
Doubly so to be there observing. You know the yard would never want to admit fault, so all the better that you see it's not someone's fault....

Because I was young, confident and ambitious. (I've also run boats and been around boatyards all my life.) I exposed myself to that kind of...
About a week ago a Chinese warship was hanging out in the Aleutians. Just yesterday a Russian war ship was hanging out by an undersea cable...
