That's Donzi weather... :eek:
Great guide for those that do not transit the new river often. I'd remind everyone of rule 9(b) that vessels over 20 meters have right of way...
Yep. It was in Panama in 2000 at Tropic Star Lodge- I was the Dockmaster at the time. The captain was quite an entertaining character.
The Sea Deuce burns a 100 an hour at 22 knots (around 1800 rpm). That's my cruise speed- I'm not a cowboy. The port was fully rebuilt in '06 at...
Is this hull cored? Are the hull sides cored? Any head-ups on the 43 that I ought to tell the potential new owner?
I was diving in Palau (back when that was my job) and I saw at least 150 manta's migrating. The smallest one was perhaps 10 feet across, the...
+3....
[IMG]here's a pic of one of the vessels
I hope so.
I concur. I met (as my crew) several people from the same island(s) as the navigators who did not study, and they still spend around five years...
Between Satawal and Saipan lies over 400 miles of open water. Carolinian navigators sail the waters on a regular basis in hand made sailing...
Thanks to all for the support in the shark finning thread. I hope it stays alive a bit so others will also read it and support those working...
I lived and worked in/on the island nation of Palau for several years while I lived in Micronesia. It's as close to God's perfect marine playland...
How did anyone arrive at this .65" figure? Is this for the front of the engine or the back? If it's for the back that sure seems strange how the...
My boat's bottom is very slippery. The growth at the dock is not greater or lesser than my perceived view of that of the past without the sea...
When the people are in the air you can experience gusts, lulls, run downwind, across wind etc. All these create differing loads, as well as when...
I drove a KAMD-44P (If I remember correctly) in a parasailing boat when they first came out. It was horrid for the task and frankly- unsafe. In...
Not anywhere in proportion to the vessel; makes it look like it's on the wrong boat and it looks like it'll snap off any minute. Puts more...
If a 800 pound fish wants to swim away from you at a high rate of speed there is not much you can do about it. You spin the boat and chase it...
I've had myself and seen it happen where the gear part fails and throttle does not. That means you throttle down and think you are changing from...
