I don't think these sites are a real good idea since they own the content and you need to be very careful about what is on them. Unfortunately...
Thought this looked familiar. The following thread may get you there....
I just renewed my license. When I computed my sea time I had something like 700 days (and that's not time sitting at the dock). Not bad when you...
Today I learned something new (not that it could be done, but that it should be done in the normal course of a survey). Thanks, I'll check into...
Do they do this as a regular part of their surveys or just if requested? I'd never seen it. In fact, we just went through a survey last week....
Wow, has that issue changed! :D
I would tend to think this would be overlooked by a surveyor unless there was evidence of burn. Otherwise, he should notice lugs being off and...
Call me hard to please, but I expect a boat over 50' to be able to handle 6' seas in relative comfort. This is the problem I found with the 60'...
When I first moved to Ft. Lauderdale I pounded the docks at the boat show. There I met an owner who took my resume and asked how much I wanted....

I'm sure you'll find that there are a few intricacies about putting military personnel on board civilian ships such as turning that ship into a...
I wouldn't own a boat if you gave it to me for free. That's what happens when you turn a hobby and passion into a job. When I step on board I'm...
Rather than take this further off topic I will let that statement stand on its own uhhhuuuummmm merits.
That's our president you're talking about. You know, the one who gave the OK to shoot to kill. We have never and hopefully will never condone...
Nothing to be torn about. The Alabama was carrying humanitarian supplies FOR SOMALIA. The "pirates" don't care any more about their neighbors...
I've managed, worked in or been involved in a few marinas over the years and have yet to see that service offered. You can sometimes pay an...
