Well, here is my contribution to the magic 100 and the senior title.. Wait, I would rather stay young and be the junior guy on the block....
Hmm ,never heard of this on any kind of a sailboat. The mechanics and plumbing may cost more than it is worth? Not that hard to dock a 42'...
Thanks for that. I should upgrade to 200 tons anyway. I live only 5 minuttes away from the MPT school here in Ft. Lauderdale and my brain has...
Huh..? That is interesting news. Wonder what my 100 ton USCG ticket us good for under the ITC?
So you agree there was a dose of poor judgement involved? Then you don't think he should be blamed for poor judgement? Whatever, but the...
Did you read the Vanity Fair article? Good and sound judgement all the way?
Hmm, I don't know about Johnsons and craftmanship: A few years ago I was running a Johnson 70 for a guy here in Ft. Lauderdale. Although the...

Yup, know all about hurrican Wilma: She came right over my boat here in Ft. Lauderdale. I am happy to report no damages, but I take full credit....
Ha-ha, life is not that easy... My wife gets the magazine in the mail, and we had it early December. At any rate, thanks for posting the...
Hmm, that would be last month's article? Check post # 43 on this thread from 12-10-06
In theory it would be possible, if ya have enough Skycranes hovering/lifting in formation. In reality you would probably need 50 of them to pull...
Big article in "Vanity Fair" this month on Legacy and her owner. He came across as arrogant and ignorant: Did not think a hurricane was a big...
Shoot, guess I missed all the action, AND meeting Carl:D Have to work tomorrow and won't be there for the final ca-bang (and the free drinks:(...
