Oh, I wasn't imagining anything other than using it to assist in getting me undamaged to the fuel dock or a slip in Petersburg Harbor. :embarrased Every dock for the 20 miles of the Narrows is subject to daily substantial or even extreme currents and to frequent winds. Seems like a lot of...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V11NsJ155RM Amazing, but I would love to see this system demonstrated in the Wrangell Narrows at full flood current with a stiff cross wind.

You are more than welcome. I love seeing pictures of, and hearing about, a boat like the on that brought me so much joy. Several ways to skin the cat on posting pictures. I am a very non-techie type (that may be shorthand for "old"), but I followed the advice of the resident Nerds here many...

Nice Fish. Great Boat!

Agree with Tom's (& others') post completely. Can't believe I did my first round trip to Alaska without auto pilot. Until I did a 2,000 mile trip without it, I thought it was some kind of "frill." It is a great benefit under many conditions. However, I would put it in the potential...

Hey Marty! Thanks for the links. I lived under the Fremont Bridge decades before the Troll or Vlad moved in and Yuppified the neighborhood. I was just fresh out of the Big Green Machine and going to school on the GI Bill. It was the 60's. We lived in a basement apartment right next to where...

It's getting darn hard to keep up with the conspiracies. There used to be a contingent, here and elsewhere, that was convinced the whole "pandemic" thing was a hoax perpetuated by big gobment and its commie allies, and/or big pharma. All but the truest of the true believers among this group...

If you have bottom paint it might be a good idea to check on the kind of paint you have, and how and where you are going to have it cleaned, before you start. FYI: https://ecology.wa.gov/DOE/files/9f/9f9f5b86-865a-431c-9254-1216cf5bba49.pdf

1. Anecdotal accounts should not be the basis for making choices about responding to a pandemic. 2. Referring to these vaccines as "experimental biological agents" is not helpful. 3. Referring to someone's well-intentioned posting as "drivel" is not helpful. 4. Pay attention to what Dr. Bob...

Almost certainly they were for cockpit lighting. My boat had strings of small lights run under the cockpit gunnels. The switches allowed you to turn the cockpit lights on when boarding the boat at night. I have to say, I rarely used them, but they did provide a nice low light for the cockpit...

Well Marty, I miss my boat every single day. As was the case with you, life dictated the need to give up the boat. Although the loss of boating is sad, I cannot complain. 70 years ago no one, least of all the small boy version of me, would have predicted that one day I would be piloting my...

Marty, Thanks for posting the link. Pretty astounding: "One year later, the Seattle area has the lowest death rate of the 20 largest metropolitan regions in the country. If the rest of the United States had kept pace with Seattle, the nation could have avoided more than 300,000 coronavirus...

Just got my second Moderna dose (after 4 re-schedulings). The first dose was administered by a nurse whom, for more than one reason, I refer to as "Jabber the Hurt." Other than a sore injection site, and little tiredness, however, I had no real side effects from that first dose. I am...

That's just a feature of the PM system. Until the intended recipient actually clicks on the message, it will remain in your "outbox." Once the recipient looks at the message, it shows up in your "sentbox." On the larger question, agree completely with tsturm. Just don't put the dielectric on...

There are actually two little boxes that will take you to the same place. In the far right column on the "View posts since Last Visit" page appears the name of the last poster. Next to that name is another little box. That one works, too. Both boxes have a bold black arrow pointing to them...

I believe you need to click on the little yellow/orange box. At least that's how it works for me. That takes you to the last post in the thread.

I don't personally know of anyone who has cheated to get a shot. Apparently, some have. My wife and I are both age-qualified under Phase 1B1. We have both gotten the first shot (Moderna) and are scheduled for the second shot. The instant I heard on the radio that the Governor had announced...

You may be onto something, Marty. A couple of years ago, we walked across Northern England and came upon this in an alley way in Whitby: Right next door, however, was this: An interesting juxtaposition. Perhaps a cautionary tale? Bill
