    New Trailer Vendor

    An excellent trailer is Loadmaster of Port Clinton, Ohio. Built like a tank. Mine has towed 12K miles and looks and pulls like brand new. Roam has to be over 20K miles by this time. Check my photo album, LEVITATION on Tugnuts.com

    Changing oil while on a cruise.

    Filters are vastly improved over what we had 20 years ago. To directly answer your question: Yes, change the oil on time. You can leave the filter on until it is convenient to get at. No harm done. Don't worry, be happy. :mrgreen: I have road driven equipment where we change the filter at...

    Have you had your Flu shot?

    Milesandmiles - I disagree with your thesis that everything pharmaceutical is a venal conspiracy and that physicians are simpletons hoodwinked by malignant corporations. Meanwhile, I am back to re-installing the trim tabs.

    Have you had your Flu shot?

    We were at the daughter's house for our combined thanksgiving/Xmas. She keeps the quadrivalent vaccine on hand so we had the innoculation from her. No reaction for me, but her mother complained of a sore arm for a few days. Like many docs constantly exposed to ill/infected/coughing patients -...

    Nordic Tug furloughs workforce

    Lot to be said for loving what you do. I have large dollars invested in my farms and the net cash flow the first three years has been a loss. Hoping to break even next year. The wife has pointed out that had I used that money to purchase the place she wanted in Punta Gorda she would be more happy

    Considerations of infections on boats.

    Hmmm. Small story from long ago - I was in the micro lab and the final exam was to analyze a sample containing multiple bacteria with one being a virulent pathogen. (meaning it could kill you) The challenge was to isolate and identify the virulent pathogen. A passing grade was isolating and...

    LED Nav Lights

    Brightness is the key. You want all the photons you can get. The easiest way to check is high noon. Turn the mast head light on with a full sun overhead and look up. Is the light is bright enough to see? The Marinebeam bulb is. The standard incandescent bulb is not. I have no recent experience...

    Ferry one sail boat 0

    My experience with freighters and large ships (mostly great lakes vessels) is that they are complacent. The captains and helmsmen have done the trip many times if not hundreds. The ship is almost always on autopilot, and presumably on radar alarm, and they are not actually looking at the radar...

    Boating Music

    Yup, silence is good. Just the sounds of waves slapping against the hull, the quiet hum of the motor, the cries of sea gulls - if there were any, wonder where they went? "HEY, keep the barfing down to a minimum will you. I'm trying to commune with nature here. Sheesh. Durn neophytes. It's...

    Navionics Software and iPad

    Bad Elf is really bad - or rad - whatever the slang for 'good' is these days. 99 bucks will solve your problems - with navigation, that is :mrgreen:

    America's Cup

    I'm a Luddite. Were I in charge the boats would have to cross the Atlantic first and then race with the same sails and crew they crossed with. They could still be cutting edge technology but the requirement to cross the pond will develop stuff that will translate down to club racers and cruisers...

    Interesting test on Yamaha outboards

    99 and 44/100th's percent of pleasure boat engines die from disuse (cylinder and cam corrosion and rusting between starts)

    Source for LED bulbs

    Marinebeam is my source. NO radio noise with them. They regulate both voltage and current which cheaper built makes do not.
