    New England and East 2009 Cruise Planning

    Jim: Thanks for that generous offer. It made me realize I don't have to upgrade my trailer for just this event so..... The Retriever will probably go back to its slip in April. If it looks like I can attend maybe I can find someone who is already in for the season and has their trailer...

    New England and East 2009 Cruise Planning

    Fred - As we discussed last fall, my attendance is dependent on finding a better trailer. That said, maybe folks thinking about hooking up might want to first get together at one of the winter boat shows -perhaps Providence in January or the New England show in Boston in February. I'm going to...

    Pat & Patty's Bad Experience with The Offshore Store

    I'm surprised you got this kind of service with the state of the marine industry. In my neck of the woods, marinas, dealers, canvas shops, etc. have nothing but time on their hands to be both helpful and cut deals. I did notice the West Marine store has cut hours but, when open, I see far fewer...

    Moves you don't want to make in your C-Dory

    While not life threatening, my greatest challenge comes in returning to the slip, usually single handed, when the winds go over 10 MPH. Added to the challenge are dozens of tourists gawking at me :embarrased. After three years I've pretty much got it nailed. The key to success is compensating...

    Best Dog Names

    I'm a dog person - I've been owned by six Golden Retrievers. It seems every once in a while I get the name correct and, somehow, the name just seems to fit the dog's personality. Kind of dumb luck because who knows what that'll be when its a pup at eight weeks old. My male, a big hundred...

    Routine Maintenance on a Honda 90

    I have not had my Honda 90 to the dealer for "routine maintenance" for a couple of seasons. I've been using a more local Johnson dealer for the winter/spring "prep". I called the Honda dealer figuring the local guy might be missing something on a factory check list. The dealer quotes me $470...

    Here is another Spot Rescue story

    I'm wondering how many of these tracking devices are being used by stalkers or jealous spouse(s)? I read that Simon Cowell, the judge on American Idol, was stalked buy paparazzi using a device like the Spot secretly attached to his Bentley. I'm betting they'll be some Federal legislation...

    Parallels / Virtualbox / Crossover / QEmu

    I'd guess I've been using Parallels for a couple years. I've got it on both a Macbook and iMac. I use it in the coherence configuration and it's pretty much flawless.

    Spot - Satellite Messenger

    Dittos Dr Bob's post. As I mentioned on another thread I'm using an ACR ResQfix PLB. I keep it with me in my truck so I can take it on the boat or in the plane or, if I'm alone and hurt after running the truck off a back country road. I also put it in my backpack when I ski. Of course, unlike...
