Love Anacortes also. We stayed at the motel at the ferry landing there. Beautiful area and I envy all of the folks who call it home (in the Summer). When you get to Key West there is a taxi company that has an all pink fleet; I don't recall the name but there is a numeral included in it...

I don't recall what our rate was but it wasn't anywhere near your rate and we were able to fanagle no slip fee. I too would prefer staying on my own RV or boat but the 16'7" Whaler doesn't fit the bill nor does our Pathfinder tow vehicle. CV

While in the Keys if you want a boat accessible place on land to stay go to Parmers on Little Torch Key. They have suitable harborage and are on the inside < 1 mile from the bridge between Big Pine and Little Torch. Also accessible by boat is The Warfe restaurant on Summerland Key on the inside...

Craigslist is a fantastic way to sell most anything. It's also the easiest place I've ever found to inadvertently interface with crooks, criminal and other assorted low life. You have to be very wary of any out of area purchaser, anyone presenting a cashiers check and anyone who says they will...

The Mississippi River pictures and the C-Dory with snow and spruce trees are beautiful. CV

You folks sure do pay a toll to live in the beautiful PNW. CV

Now that's being cruel. CV

Sunny and 50 degrees here in Georgia. Ouch! Stay safe. Zap aka Cruiserlessvinny aka Vince

Hey Starcrafttom, If I ever get to Maryville Wa. I'm going to buy you a couple of beers just to hear your stories. If you ever get to my area of Georgia I'll do the same. Zap

Go to pure-gas.org for a list of stations that carry E0. CV

I'm with you on the fish identification and rules regarding Florida fish and fishing in Florida; it'd be real easy to get crossed up with the rabbit sheriff down there. There ia a small poster like publication, available in tackle shops around the state, that lists and has pictures of many of...

Or. Your supply air (blowing out of the register) should be, depending on many factors and who you ask, 13-18 degrees cooler than your return (air being sucked back into the duct) air. It is not advised that you turn your a/c on if the outside temp is less than 65 degrees. CV

I use an oak board cut to appropriate size. The board rests atop the T-n-T rams and snugs against the mounting bracket on one side and against the motor on the other side. Was going to buy a Wedge but realized what the intent of the wedge is and made-do for the price of shop scraps. CV

Sleepy C, Most of us who ply the various waters have respect and admiration for the USCG "boots on the ground" personnel who actually risk their lives to save the lives of those imperiled. With that being said one should not discount the possibility that the ship board or aircraft experience...

Yep, press and hold the light button down. So far that's the only button I've mastered on my Elite-5. Zap

Those of you who have received a copy of Boat U.S. magazine already know what this is about. This post is for those of you who don't receive the magazine. Here is a Cliff note version of the article: 1) Ethanol enhanced gasoline doesn't loose octane faster than regular gasoline. 2) It isn't...

This is such a no-win conversation; everyone has a POV and most have a reasonable degree of validity. If we, the US tax payer/Federal Government, were swimming in cash I would have no problem with subsidizing the purchase of 1Tuberiders car (via the $7500 Federal incentive). We are cash poor...

Doing a search titled "gasoline taxes vs. gasoline prices" will help provide information to better understand the situation. CV

If fuel weren't so heavily taxed we wouldn't be paying so much for it. I don't recall the exact percentages as to what the taxes are but they are pretty hefty; a whole lot more than what Big Oil makes on a gallon of gasoline. If I were to spend my time thinking about greed I would have to...

The issue of the Splendours captain being told by Robert Wagoner to not initiate a search has always struck me as being odd. Who's ever heard of a rule (or a law) at sea which states a boat owner can tell the captain to engage in irresponsible action without anyone being held accountable? If...
