Speaking with a local fisherman/shrimper who has a reputation for being ahead of the curve in the business, he was telling me about this Bio-Fuel. He buys it and mixes it with his regular diesel and swears that his engines run better, the filters need changing less, and is saving huge bucks...

We have all seen some unbelievable docking adventures and I thought we should maybe come up with a list of "how to" for those less learned and new boaters that will make life easier for for the dock masters and other boats in the marinas. My List: Call ahead to the marina, they will inform...

We have been going through the parts we bought from the previous owners at Swan Point Marina and the list is extensive. Just to give an idea of some of these parts : Carbeurators, pistions, control panels, circuit breakers, water and fuel pumps, starters , impellers, coolers, and every little...

We stand in awe..... This was Tuesday afternoon standing outside the front door of Swan Point Marina and Boatyard Inc.

We have some hill space for the time being, but calls are comming in about being pulled for the winter to avoid the storm season rush. At our marina we are making it clear that our slip renters will be the ones pulled first in the event of severe weather. With limited hill space , Loyalty must...

During the past 3 weeks at the boatyard I have learned what busy really means, LOL. But more important is the education coming in from all directions, especially about bottom paint. In most cases price is the driving factor on which paint a customer uses. We have a range from about 95.00 to...

Well Tawney 1 was fighting the wind and tide all day yesterday on his way from New Bern to Wilmington to have the engine work done and several other projects. But because of the time he came and docked for the night at Swan Point Marina. Early this morning he called to say he had hit some sand...

I heard this a couple days ago, thought it was pretty funny. When your computer is down, it has what is known as " Connectile Dysfunction" . This problem affects the Hard Drive in millions of computers daily. Age is not a factor. Not sure what the cure is...............

Several years back I bought my wife a vacuum cleaner for mothers day. It had all the cool attachments, was bright red, high power. This thing I thought was a great tool. After all, be it birthday, fathers day or Christmas if I got a new power tool, I was one happy guy. This does not relate...

In the Parts wanted catagory there was mention of the louvered doors. So today I did one of those rainy day projects and made a jig so I can build these louvered doors. I used a 3/8 router bit to make the actual jig cuts. And I used one of my 3 1/4 HP Freud Routers. First I built a track for...

A friend of mine has a Caframo heater/dehumidifier on his 24' well craft which is covered and parked in his yard. When the boat was in a slip he had this Caframo heater plugged in and also when in his yard. There was never a sign of mold/mildew anywhere. It is so low voltage, and the fan is...

What type do you wear/prefer ? I like the Maui Jim brand

When I was a cop my first supervisor told me we will never stop the break ins from occuring, but when we come in from the midnight patrol, we had better have found all break ins and open doors and windows. Same goes for these school shootings and other crimes. We will never stop them. All we...

Thought I would pass these pics and the process along on how I have made the base units for the helm chairs on Boss Lady. The first step which is not seen here, is laying up the teak sections. I used West System epoxy and number 20 biscuits to join these planks. I wrapped the squares in saran...

With all the new GPS equipment Now available, I think On Star may be a dying company, especially when they send out a letter such as the one I received last week. My GMC truck is a 2001. It is loaded with all the bells and whistles, including On Star, and I have used it many times. So in this...
