Sorry to steal the title of the closing episode of M.A.S.H. :D It’s become apparent that since my return to the forum, the level of controversy and the numbers of PM’s in Doug’s mailbox have both been on the rise. I’ll say it one more time… that was never my intention, etc. etc.. I’ve decided...

I hope this is the side on the forum to list this topic, if not feel free to move it to The Sandbar. It would seem that many new members come to the tech side of the forum to ask questions which vary in nature as they try to either learn about a Hatteras they are considering to purchase or have...

Will somebody in the know please tell me why a member received a PM from another member which the sender sent 3 days before the other member received it and wondered why he received it 3 days late?

Okay everybody, I made mention of this on a couple of other threads but I thought I would make it a topic of conversation with a dedicated thread. I have personally met many members of this forum during recent trips to Florida resulting from my purchase of the 58TC and the wife kicking me out...

Okay, I've picked 20 pictures to put into an album on www.photobucket.com, but I can't seem to get this thing to work. I took the time to name an album, select and describe pics from my Charleston to Ft Myers trip, and pressed the upload button. Now the thing is just sitting there after 10...

Well, it had to happen sooner or later, ole' Nancy Cay made me cuss yesterday! :mad: Saturday's cruise with just the Register boys was nothing but fun as usual even though ole' Nancy Cay was stinking up the whole marina! I had not turned the key since last November which resulted in the pics...

I viewed a thread a while back which asked, "How long did it take to own your first Hatteras?", and found it to be very interesting reading. With that in mind, along with the fact that I too have a Hatteras in need of some restoring, I thought this would also lead to some interesting and...

Well, I couldn't let Mario look like the only Hatt guy who had fun on a Hatt today. Ryan and I went to the marina to have the head on "Nancy Cay" pumped. Not sure what the problem was, but everything checked out okay after a flush job and re-pump. We left Caney Creek after topping off the...

I just had a neighbor at my marina call and say the holding tank alarm was sounding on my 41DC here in TN. I haven't been aboard that boat since Friday before last, so I have no idea why the alarm would be sounding as of this afternoon. Unless, of course, someone came onto the boat and flushed...

Dang, I did a cut and paste and I think this might just work. Oops, just hit the send button and got fussed at. Reckon I'll have to make more than one post to make it fit, sorry! I'm very busy at work today (really!) and I'll try to go back and insert pictures a little later. Remember I...

Alright, I know I have promised a detailed thread complete with pictures regarding my having helped move a 70CPMY from Charleston, SC to Fort Myers, FL back in January. I've been kinda busy with other stuff and didn't want to leave ya'll hanging. I'm an man of my word you know. In the...

Okay, this will not be another "Oprah" re-run, but I would like to pick the brains of more who have maybe been there, done that in regard to the topic posted. I'm probably chasing my tail to think I can convince the misses to aid in my life's dream of living aboard and maybe abroad with her and...

Okay, it's been dang near 24 hours since I started a thread, and I am suffering from massive thought back up! :p This is sure to cause cases of starch to fly off the grocer's shelves, but how does one become a moderator on this forum? PLEASE understand I have no such desire to become one, and...

Alright, let me preface this by saying there is a wealth of knowledge on this forum as it relates to Hatteras yachts and what it took to obtain one. I've got two, for better or worse, so maybe this thread will be okay. If not, I suppose I'll find out soon enough. Many of you all are from the...

Okay, I know my name is showing up a lot these days, but I have finally decided I would take responsibility for the creation of the Sandbar. Why not, I get credit for being the first one tossed out of it! It would seem most members have an occasional drink or ten, so I thought I would give...
