I saw the news story they day it broke. I seem to recall that he actually anchored his boat right on top of that sea wall, and that the chances...
I was going to say, anchors are designed to dig into the mud or silt. I wonder what happened here.
So, I guess it's just a concept for the time being. I thought I'd heard about this thing a few years back, and was looking forward to seeing that...
So, I keep seeing videos and images posted all over the place about "Diamond". [MEDIA] I mean, is it a real project that's in the works, or is...
To me it seems like the criteria for becoming a skipper for a major liner varries from country to country.
Tons of problems dealing with a communist government, even if they're "liberal enough" to let you take home half your profits. I have not been...
I'll pass on the McBarge. It looks like someone jacked up the price on the boat in question to three times what was being asked a few weeks ago....
All right, thanks all. I saw a few online that were going real cheap, and was thinking of splurging. It seemed like an interesting idea, but I...
Does anyone have any insight into living on the difference between the two? I've spent the night on sailing vessels, but never on a "houseboat"....
Thanks for the replies. I've capsized a few times doing inner lake sailing, but never on a "big boat". And yeah, the engine not being secure to...
Last night I saw a thing on the Coast Guard and their cutters. I'm curious how you design a "self righting boat" like the CG uses.
Is there a website with deckplans online? I'd like to look at a few.
Apparently. I've helmed boats upwards in the 100 foot range ages ago, but I never tried to sail one by myself. Seeing the videos with mechanical...
I meant "death ray". Don't you hate it when you type too fast? :mad:
Well, if you have a death aboard your ship, you don't want to draw attention to it :D
Argh, thought I had posted a response. Of all the five star hotels I went to when I was younger, I could never get into the whole luxury service...
Neat. I guess it depends on who you are and how you manage your finances. A local lady in Burlingame passed away some fifteen years ago. She...
It's funny, when I was growing up the largest "motor yacht" that I had ever seen was the vessel that doubled as the "Emaculata" in "Overboard"...
I just read the Jacob link. That sounds like a case of getting too confident and comfortable with the work environment and equipment. Very sad,...
Fascinating. It also sounds like a regional cultural thing. When I used to shoot a lot of corporate video it was for companies like Apple,...
