That caught my attention as well, but for now I'll assume he was up on deck for a smoke break or other legitimate purpose (or he ran like hell and...
This subject has inspired heated debate to some degree, as I expected, but not the venom I encountered in another forum. I generally tip in $5,...
Don't read too much into the crew getting off on this one yet. They would have been above deck when it rolled. Given the weather I'd assume most...
The alarm confuses me. However, taking that out of the equation for a moment (before calling in the service person) I'd first check that the...
You've read the threads, so you know the issues. I'd be more inclined to buy used than new in the same hopes you have that the issues would have...
Glad to hear it was an easy and cheap fix. Have a safe and fun summer.

Yeah, I'm going to get into the window and door manufacturing business. lol. Thankfully I don't have to leave the dock again (although I will for...
Here's your flame. As you've been reducing your tips, salaries for low wage workers have been stagnant (reducing when you consider inflation...
People like this do exist, and it's my pleasure to help them spread their reputation: [MEDIA] Sorry for the divergence from boat related tipping.
Very true. The "who" and even the "where" was irrelevant, questionable and distracting. Your last paragraph brings up another related topic. I...
If you only want to tip one way, then only go one way. When you go to a restaurant, you pay the owner for your food and being served. Your...
Won't argue that point. Lol.
Yes, and guiding the hospital ship no less. Some days you just wish you stayed in bed. Fortunately it sounds like no injuries and it only hit...
