If people would read the books first before modifying quotes which the writer made, we might be able to make more informed decisions and not spread false information. Here in Canada many are indeed fearful of Obamas background , but perhaps more worried about his economic policies, we have had...

From an article regarding the first and only civilian owned Harrier: "He described his airplane as extremely responsive, extremely nimble, and an absolute pleasure to fly. It is a thirsty bird, though, consuming fuel at the rate of a gallon every two seconds while hovering." Fuel flow...

What is the deal with fiberglassing a silver dollar under each engine? Dockside chat (with a mechanic) said "Oh yeah, a lot of boats have imbedded coins - right from the factory" I never found one on any of my boats and I spend A LOT of time crawling around bilges. Googled "boat coin" &...

First, I would much rather talk about boats than politics, but certain politics could put an end to boating as we know it. A friend shared this letter (can't confirm it's authenticity), but it raises some very serious issues that I myself have wondered about. I'm sure many of you have as well. ...

It’s becoming that time of year folks....CDR ‘08 is coming up. (Columbus Day Regatta) We’re around 60 days out from this “all eyes on South Florida” boating event. I got an email today from Naomi (“SoKeen”), Pascal’s better half. I heard through the grapevine that Pascal may not be able to...

As I understand the plan (and I hope I am wrong) if I am in arrears on my house payment, I can contact the gov't and they will re-fi my home at the current value in a 30 year 5%...

I have to put up with enought crap all day long at my job..... I come to this site to get relief and talk boating..... A way to unwind... There are plenty of sites to complain about Obama and McCain..... I stopped reading the replies to the other threads about politics a long time ago...
