While I lived on Midway we did see lots of plastic. It collects there. I did also see dead birds. There is no doubt the NWHI is the center of...
Sea Slide & Prop Speed I've got two gallons of Sea Slide on order- and it'll be going on my boats bottom shortly. Capt J has posted he's driven...
Yep divers do. I have had a set that took the divers 6 hours to pull and they broke three pullers (cheap ones I assume), however. I bought a 4"...
Capt J also said to adjust the props- which I pointed out to do it correct means a haul, and at least one seatrial. One day of shop time, one...
Capt J I applaud your efforts to assist MBevins. Marmot your argumentative tone is unbecoming and a detriment to the thread and forum IMHO. (In...
I don't work on car gas engines. IAT means what I posted- regardless of the engine type. The comparison is to two strokes. Low rpm means just...
I was cleaning my fish freezer of ice once and the marine clean up crew came whilst I was doing so and started screaming at me to "not throw...

What is the point of this thread as it relates to boating? We as crew,captains/owners should _________ (fill in the blank as it relates directly...
Midway atoll before the land was cleared to create a airstrip/base/waystation supported less than 200 thousand pairs of breeding sea birds. After...
Anyone can live anywhere for three nights- I don't think the crew- captain or no experience deckhand- should expect to have the same lifestyle as...
There are many sides/issue here. NYcap brings the hard I live near 5 million people side: very little matters but the money, and that's what it...
He was never very good at hitting his target...:rolleyes:
I meant to write that complaining about anything after the fact won't do.... I don't think the HS is listening to us much. Its water under the...
I use my card when I fly at PBI and it gets me though nicely- the past three times they actually treated me with extra courtesy. But the truth is...
