since we're into sunsets and artistic shots, I took these last year running the Neuse on the way south at about 22kts.
i've never run one but... a couple of weeks ago a late model 60ish was rubbign against a piling in the next slip. the cracking noises were awful...
what is absolutely incredible is how they got the wing out of the shed, stepped on the boat, and then took the boat for a sail all on the same...
a chart is also worth a boat sometimes... :-) in reasonable weather, there is really no way to miss that channel... if the conditions are too...
here you go.. the route shown goes around the end of FP shoals, the route thru the cut woudl be a little more direct, off that buoy shown further...
i agree, that's the point i was trying to make. when i plotted both course from moorehead to Charleston the difference is 8NM, it's probably less...
ok, so that cut is pretty well marked, it dont' see how someone can miss it by two miles to hit a 4' shoal. if you nav is off by two miles, you...
not sure what "crack" you guys are talking about. from Moorehead city R10 to Charleston R16, if you go between R2 and G1 at FP, it's 200NM. is...
lots of speculation in this thread but why would anyone try to cut thru Frying Pan coming from Beaufort and heading toward charleston? makes no...
as long as it's not the one that ended up in the drink in Tx... (the clip is on Youtube and was on a number of TV channels this week...) there...
agree.. both boats are very good. you know what you have right now, you know the condition of the engines and machinery, etc... on the other...
westerbeke are good gensets, for one to fail at 42 hours suggest negligence at some point. 42hrs in 6 years is a problem... most good diesel...
Ferretti Bertram probably is even more interested in what happened!
i did the math on prop speed (36" props...) and it didn't add up. in so fl it was much cheaper to pay a diver to scrub the props every month...
hitting a container will do it, however you cant' forget the pictures of the delaminating Bertram-Ferretti off Palm Beach. if they hit something...
Common Sense should trump most rules.... in a perfect world :)
it all comes down to why you're on the water. Personally, I didn't come to this job from the commercial world because jobs on white boats was...
it's a little grey... I have never found a clear definition of a narrow channel which means that no one should forget that they still must avoid a...
well, you never know where a thread will go... one of the span was locked down when i came thru, the other one was up in the air... looks like...
while i agree that 16 should not be used for passing arrangements, unfortunately we dont' have a choice since that's the only channel monitored by...
