Happened over here several years ago - except the guy died. My buddies saw them heading out. I went kayaking that day, but I had a simple rule - in strong winds if I can't stand up in it to walk home don't go there. We normally don't fish in sea kayaks. Just the Tupperware stuff. Details...

Nicely done...on the "to do list". I was thinking that black polymer landscape sprinkler stuff.

These are all great ideas. I would have never thought about taking a USPS class together. Yes...she does get seasick - just watching Jacques Cousteau can do it. I told her that we would stay at marinas to start. 1-2 days max I get that a GB is not the ideal cruiser - but it does make for a...

Reading some of the Great Loop trips and having done a partial trip I'm convinced I want to give it a college try. That said so far it's been pretty clear that the spouse is not interested. She's not much into boating, but loves the beaches, traveling, sunsets, relaxing...all the fun things...

Inspiring...one day. Although the spousal unit is not quite on board (literally) yet. Going to start small...Tampa to somewhere for a day or so. I'll post a separate thread on that. I suspect there's already a thread in here somewhere discussing that.

Like Thataway said...but with a slight twist. Buy a second [used] one and put them side by side - viola 14" screen. Network them if you can. I'm about to do that with a Lowrance 9". One will be Gen1 the other gen 3. One will run side scan, the other up/down or gps. Plus you get the...

Best explanation of how to navigate this I've seen yet...I've seen a ton of "what an idiot...drunk" posts with very little "OK what is the right way". Let me ask this - does running a cat through those waters affect the way you navigate them? I suspect not, but figured I would ask. Seems to...

Holy smokes...gotta run this by the spousal unit. This is looks like a great time and very different.

Digging it... :thup :thup

Nice...guess I need a selfie stick. Apologies for it not being CDory related...just in the grieving process.

We met online about a decade ago, and it was love at first sight. She had the lines that would catch a young man's attention. We would sneak out early in the morning - some times we wouldn't tell people where we would be going - and always get scorned by those who who didn't know where we...

I use use photobucket.com and never move/edit the files once on photobucket. Unless their servers are down for maintenance (I want to say early Sat - but not often) I've never seen any issues. I autobackup my photos on my phone - so no uploading manaully. I want to say I can have 10GB of...

Sounds like you're passing on it, but this is pretty much your scenario. https://youtu.be/339W-ZNC1_0

Shutters up until end of Oct or second HOA notice. Seems my generator is finding its way home after being lent out to folks who needed it. Helped with some clean up yesterday with some folks who were flooded out. I'm somewhat used to/calloused to seeing poor people overseas, but this was the...

Yes. You can see for yourself at the url below. Just go down US1. http://storms.ngs.noaa.gov/storms/irma/index.html

Well...I'm not expert, but I have Andrew and Irma under my belt (and a couple smaller ones). Thataway has great advice. Here's my $.02. It's interesting that I was just looking some aerial shots of the keys...some marinas fared well others did not. Almost looked like a tornado may have hit...

Looks like a good place to see property. The place I bought my boat from a few months ago on Big Pine Key has about 20% roof damage. Quite a few flipped boats on the windward side; lots of boats in the mangroves made it. Interesting to see that most roofs made it - no clue on water damage. I...

We don't see this often over here in Tampa...we get negative tides in the winter but that entire section never goes fully dry. https://weather.com/storms/hurricane/ne ... ge-arrived I didn't have an issue with people going out there, but the folks out there barefooted were one oyster away from...

Eye the of hurricane went over our house at 1am. All is well over here (Fishhawk Ranch - Lithia,FL). These houses were built in 2001 and I'm a firm believer it made a difference. Lots of good lessons learned...I'll post that in a separate thread. Boat in between houses did fine. For those...
