I put the boat in the water Wednesday the ninth. The yard called and said if I wanted to get the boat in they needed to do it right now. Or wait a week do to hoist work. So I rushed out and they put it in. Well the DD's started like I had just shut them off. Yesssss! The wind was so strong that I...

Everyone, Looking at getting our rails striped down, bleached in a couple of spots where there has been some water damage with 8 coats of varnish all the way around on a 53 Hatteras MY. I have gotten two prices. $4,500.00 and $3,500.00. We are in Annapolis, Maryland. Any thoughts on if this...

Cat Cay Marina, south of Bimini, Bahamas. Diesel $5.49 per gallon. 418 gallons = $2,294.82. Sure will weed the riff-raff out of boating. Trying to beat a cold front coming this way, otherwise we will probably be stuck on this side of the Gulf Stream until Friday or so. Ran mostly 16 up to...

Just before Christmas last year, I replied to a thread called "Faulty Logic" about our son serving in Afghanistan and received many, many wonderful replies. My wife and I will fly up to Ft Bragg tomorrow to watch his plane touch down on US soil and see our son after almost a year. Your comments...

America's port, watch it last night (sundays 10pm). Good show and neat insight to what goes on in the working world. I really love these shows (deadliest catch, Iceroad trucker, the logging show, dirty jobs). It's what REAL reality shows are.

I checked these out on Snopes as best I could, and they seem legit. They also seem valuable: FIRST Emergency The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find Yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will...

I am truly a novice when it comes to new technology...and need some help. My wife is into baking, and rather than her bringing the laptop into the kitchen and getting it covered in flour or whatever...does anyone know if there is a wireless monitor out there? I could mount it right on the wall...

My understanding is that it costs less to make diesel fuel than gas .... why then is diesel just as expensive at the gas dock and WAY more expensive on the street ? Diesel in Montauk, NY at the fuel dock is $4.50 gal (and is gonna go up) and at the gas station (street) in Ft. Lauderdale, diesel...

I saw an ad on tv for these guys.dieselsecret.com They are promoting an additive for use with frenchfry oil. They say 46 cents a gallon. Their website feels cheesy. I sent them an e-mail asking for dealers and they said that they did'nt have any in my area (western Washington) but their Techs...
