We are neighbors: I am on Guava Isle and also have a place on Davie, Rio Nuevo Condos. You drink beer and tell lies? Come see me.
Monsoon season going on. Heavy rain almost every day. Anchored in North Lake on the ICW last week, saw 3 boats half sunk: 6 weeks ago they were...
Still there, as of today 11-5-2020: [ATTACH] Not much left, got more close up pics, but files are too large, won’t upload.
I am still on Trinidad, 2 boats after posting on this thread, what 2011? Hauled out this summer and told the yard I wanted Trinidad Pro, just like...
Yeah, upkeep was a bi..., but I was in my late 20s then and had boundless energy. (It has all gone away now :cool:)
Ended up getting a divorce, left the islands, ex-wife sold the boat. Long story short: It got damaged in hurricane Hugo, then it sank in a storm...

Still sitting there as of Friday 10-23. [ATTACH]
Let’s agree to disagree: I never had an engine survey done, never had a problem. (Pure luck perhaps) Oil analysis for sure, maintenace records for...
Yeah, if the boat has been sitting for a while with no running and no maintenance, a mechanical survey is a must.
Seems a bit excessive: I would ask for the maintenance records first of all before I spend a dime on surveys. If maintained well, and runs good...
I am guessing his Deck Hand career is on hold for a while..:rolleyes:
Yeah, they are investigating for sure. Tried to get closer but looked like a barrier blocked the canal. My picture was from the River.
Boat is still there as of 1 hour ago. Not pretty. [ATTACH]
Lots of IF’s, and yes it can be done safely IF this and if that. Back to the topic of this chapter: They fueled 5 minute prior, then blew up,...
Been driving a Chevy Volt for years, not a Prius. :oops: Sorry Ed, inboard Gas is not my cup of tea. There are a few around here but I stay away...
