Only thing different is that the sailboat owner was on the scene to interject and didn't, which only makes it worse for him. In both cases the...
That pretty much says it all and that's not even considering that, in the case of the sailboat, the owner was on board to advise.. It's called...
If one pays attention while cruising the ICW they'll find that many, if not most of the bridges seem to be shorter than advertised. If I had less...
http://www.charts.noaa.gov/OnLineViewer/11472.shtml The bridge is listed as 65' at Mean High Water. Never heard of a bridge where clearance was...
Although not my area, I'd think San Francisco or the PNW would be fairly good places to look. Big waves, big mountains and a few big yards....
As we head towards Labor Day and a summer filled with people who think that under someone's bow is smart place to be, I wouldn't say that. 'D--ned...

Nope, and although I've recieved local knowledge (and fuel twice) from commercial operators, I only recall being placed under commercial tow once,...
I just found this in an article I was reading: "it turns out there's only one small designated anchorage, between two huge mooring fields. Not...
That assumes everyone is insured, and still leaves the deductables to deal with (which can be quite substantial). It may also apportion fault...
I think it's more a 50/50. The more a boat gets beaten up the better she's generally to be kept after. You're right about the social boaters. A...
Cap, you have a tendency to read what you want to see. I live and work in this world as many of us do. I don't hate the rich. In fact some of...
Plus, we only have a self-serving statement of the owner saying it. A self-serving statement can only be construed against you, never for. The...

Well, I guess he has now. I guess this thread answered that for him. In fact he added one more reason: He was at the helm of his boat...
