Zero points for originality. Bonus points for location I've seen this prank pulled a few times, but it is usually in the middle of nowhere while...
Which boat were you on? I was there that night too.
I you have the will, there is a way. It's just a really bad idea, which will cause you more trouble than the benefit is probably worth (although...
~Take lots of cash to pay the fees. ~Use an agent as they will help to get you the fastest transit. ~Ask for "soft lines", which just means that...
Blind Spot? Has anyone ever been on one of these things? It looks as if the range of visibility from the bridge would be atrocious.
They left out Turkey deep-fryers and crawfish boilers ;)
I wouldn't worry about that. My dad is still able to get parts for an old Gray Marine (a 671 before it was made by Detroit Diesel) from the 1940s....

Thanks for the reply. I doubt this will be of interest, as they used to be full-time residents of California and still have a couple of vacation...
Agreed I agree. I have stopped even reading the thread as it has deteriorated. Sorting through (no small task) and separating the wheat from the...
I can't recall the name of the Ferretti which ran over the backbone in the late 90's (1999 I think?). I was doing an extension/refit at Allied...
Which part isn't true? The chart does say to use a local pilot. And insurance companies have, in fact, denied claims for boats not undertaking a...
Anyplace where the chart says , in big bold red letters, to use a pilot; this captain uses a pilot. Seems like pretty cheap insurance and a fine...
That thing moves pretty regularly. The pole is a point of reference but should be re-visited each year. My suggestion would be to call one of the...
well said!
