Idle chat: wings, waves, wheels…

My pleasure doing business with you Judy

Yup. I watched the same Blue Angels documentary 2 days ago, highly recommended and very impressive.
(Glad my tax money are going to folks who perform and work hard, occasionally)

Nutty YouTube kid bought a 70’ Broward…

I don’t watch any of the YouTube “watch me I did this, that crap”, but this link popped up somewhere in my inbox, maybe because he started with an Albin.
Almost like a slow moving train reck, I can’t stop watching..

I managed to watch the whole thing, assisted by adult beverages of course: He managed to do a short
sea trial and did ok maneuvering the old “Luxury Yacht”, but I was waiting for one or both engines to give up the ghost from overheating, clogged filters or whatnot.

He does have more guts than me, I wouldn’t have touched that old tub with a 10’ long pole.

After we moved to North Florida 2 years ago, we came back to Fort Lauderdale for a few days of R&R this week.
Borrowed a small boat from one of my buddies and went up the New River.
The Yamaha outboard stopped doing its thing exactly across from LMC: Lauderdale Marine Center.
Deployed the little anchor and called for a tow.
Good view, good breeze and a nice day, despite the Towboat US tow picking me up after 1;45 hrs.

4-5 boats went by each direction, only 1 Captain asked if I needed help..
Not impressed.
