Thx, good news. The bad news is that the boat is in Cambridge, Maryland, but summer is almost here, easy delivery if I go ahead.. (Don’t tell...
Is this a good engine? I have owned boats with Yanmars, Perkins and Westerbeke diesels, but never a Cummins, never heard of the 450 Diamond...
Nah, this is the new digital world and since you are advertising your services online you should also include some basics of your experience....
Your experience is more valuable than anything else, especially if you have a clean record with no accidents, incidents, violations and/or owner...
Nice presentation and a great website, but I didn’t see the resume of experience. Probably a good idea to include it. Good luck to you Capt. :cool:
Yup, some of these crashes and accidents are pretty basic, no evil conspiracy or a complex set of circumstances, just holes in the Swiss cheese...

Aye, memories : Tugboat Annies was one of my watering holes and a friend of mine had a part time gig as the Dock Master there, he was also the...
Aye Judy: We lived with the JQ for 24 years as we were based up the New River and made friends with her and her Master’s many times. After a while...
