My boat is in Charleston and we are in Lexington, near Columbia. I cant get to the boat because most roads are closed with curfew in place. I am on a floating dock but the bow is tied to a pole. If the tide comes up too much the bow will be too tight. The marina boys say everything is OK but...

This boat has been on craigs list for a while. I talked to the owner a few slips down and actually got a tour. It actually looks great. Theres a long list of new and upgraded items installed on the boat. The owner hasnt neglected it and is selling because of a medical issue. This model is a...

We were fishing off the coast of Charleston and saw a helecopter hoovering in the distance. At the end of the fishing trip (50 miles out) we arrived back the marina to find the coast guard had been looking for us all day. We had some music cranked up and couldnt hear the VHF radio (bad thing)...

Recently we have mounted a digital tv antenna and trying to watch local tv. I think my connector is faulty from the outside and thought I would trouble shoot this fitting. To do this I tried talking the whole cover off the side of the boat by removing the 4 screws. The whole cover assembly is...

New Hatteras lamp I just bought this at a consignment store. Obviously they didn't know what they had.

My insurance Co. just told me I needed to do another haul out survey next year. Seems they are requiring me to do this every 5 yrs. Boy that was nice of them since I just hauled it out this summer. It has new paint and looks great. Now they are requiring me to haul out again. Is this normal...

My favorite picture is of Jensen Beach Causeway at sunrise. When you see views like this, why in the world pay for a marina.

Recently we ended our cruise and came up to Ft Pierce for a while. Key West to Marathon on the outside (hawks Channel), then up to Boca Chita Harbour (tied to seawall), then to Boca Raton Lake, then to Jensen Beach Causeway. Then next day was a short 2 hours to the marina. All this without...

Here I sit in Fort Pierce, Fl. at the city marina (for the next 5-6 months). I can kick myself. With all these big vessels docked here I didnt even ask "how many volts do you have"? We just came from Homestead at the Herbert Hoover marina with 208v now 208v in Ft. Pierce. A couple weeks ago...

The gulf looked flat today as we ran down to Key West. The water was great but lobster pots were everywhere, thick as hair on a dogs back. Some rope was under the water so I couldn't see till it was too late. They must have had 50 ft bouy lines on the traps. It was a real navigational...

We are anchored on the west side of marathon with a north breeze 5-10mph. Hopefully no gnats and skitters. It's so peaceful on the hook. This is our favorite thing to do.

My wife and I are cleaning the boat today since its raining and bad weather. Thats my luck, down to the keys for sun and fun and get wind and rain. Forecasters say this only happens 2 times/yr. Anyway, I just changed the A/C filter in the aft stateroom 9/6/14 (I wrote it on the filter). My...

My friends traveling with us took this great photo of us heading South from Boca Chita yesterday. We are having a great time even though the weather is crappy. I hate to post little things but I thought this picture was really cool with the sun behind us.

Hope this works. I keep forgetting how to do this picture thang. So is it a Galley Maid?

I finished my job in Homestead and now heading to Key West, and possibly Dry Tortugas and as luck would have it my fresh water pump is running longer than usual pressurizing the system. I noticed this after a 2 1/2 month lay up for the summer. We have spent the last two days and nights at Boca...

I have been taking a 2 month break off the boat for the summer and now going to work at the turkey pt. nuclear plant next week. We have been struggling with the logistics of taking the car to homestead and worrying how to accomplish all this as well as moving the boat. Bob Kassel on Chateau...

We went out fishing yesterday and I am practicing taking videos and posting them on youtube. I was impressed with the speed of this 1985 Sportfish. Can anybody tell something about this boat that isnt right. How about the speed? kinda fast huh? Sorry for the quality. I'll get better...

I was thinking in a week or so heading to Bimini, then to Nassau, then exumas. Would like to make a two boat trip over. Anyone game? You all know the weather is better in May/June. I know Dan and Deb on M/V Freedom is in the Abacos making thier way South to Exuma. It would be great to see...

Ive been fighting a leak for a while now and just found it. Its the anchor light globe on the very top of the radar arch. The condensation inside the globe was the givaway. Thats after I caulked everything imaginable. The plastic globe has a rubber gasket that was totally rotted out. I then...
