Good. Women need more representation throughout this industry and business. And the business needs them. BTW, women don't learn a little...
Thank you. Not smart, but if you live something long enough you're bound to pick up a few things. I've met very few captains who passed all...
Not at all, and good for them. I happened to grow up in a time that only losers didn't smoke. Every actor in the movies and on TV had a smoke in...
I'm so fed up with the anti-smoking crusaders that when one shows his 'concern for my well being' my response is to ask if they know why I smoke....
A boat with bones like an 80's Bert or Hat is so worth it. When finished it'd take over $2M for the same thing new. The trouble comes in getting...
What does smoking, matches/lighters have to do with it. When it comes to boats those would be way way down the list of fire causes. Besides, a...
You keep that thought. lol. http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2014/apr/07/kaufmans-sailing-rescue-controversy/
Well, issuing books instead of certificates should save a lot of our tax dollars...NOT. How come every time the government tries to improve...
I can't comment on the older 50's, but what I can say is that Bertram made it's reputation on the mopie and the 46 IMHO. I've run several 46s...
+1. On a cruise ship you'll be a private in an army, and there's a very good chance that you'll get no experience that relates to yachting. You...
That's odd. I've never seen that setup although in the Bahamas they often anchor that way. But that still means that your friends are saying...
ROFLMAO! I've had a few of those runs on the east coast. Swore I'd never set foot on a boat again. Then, once on land, the itch started again.
Mooring or anchoring? For anchoring that boat I'd be using all chain. When I ran 65' crew boats with no anchor windless or chain I believe we...
Outside the channel most likely.:oops: That's why we don't rely on only our charts or even the markers. I've brought several 5' drafts down the...
I use a Bissell Pro Heat 2x for about the past 5 years or so in my home (and bring it to the boat). At times I've had up to 3 cats and 4 dogs, and...
It is unusual and expensive to find stainless props on that boat. Obviously an upgrade. The props could indeed be off, and the diver wouldn't be...
Very normal ploy making an offer and then not coming through. It's a standard deadbeat move. I expected him to give you a check and then bounce...
Tying up to a dock no more encumbers the property than parking a car with a line in the driveway. That's why a repo man isn't permitted to repo...
Unfortunately you could find yourself defending against a charge of defamation. Best to keep names to word of mouth. Not to say they'd win, but...
You will. lol. :(
