Yup, and hitting speeds reported to be as high as 95MPH (65 zone) did not help either! The guy I really feel bad for is the new owner who probably had such anticipation for his new boat and plans for it. Jim

There is video up on CNN as well and it ocurred not far from where I live. The CNN video has a bit more detail including an interview with the dealer. The guy that stole the boat has bought boats from the dealership before and wanted this boat. Unfortunately, it had already been sold and the...

Casey asked about late season cruising on the Canal. Here is some info for 2009. Hours of operation are 7AM to 10PM through 9/9 and 7AM to 5PM 9/10 through 11/15. The Canal closes approximately 11/15 and they drain it for the winter. The exact closing date can vary. Here is the web site for...

Jim -- You mention the lack of traffic on the Canal. Mim and I were talking about it. She is from Pittsford and her mother lives about 1/2 mile from Lock 32. In fact, she was up visiting and went down to see if she could find Nick and the gang but missed them by about an hour. At any rate...

D.D. Understood. The issue of honoring warranties has been the subject of such discussion among us over time that I thought addressing it with respect to the Raymarine situation was importnat, especially given the differences from the C-Dory situation. Jim

D.D. raised the issue of the warranties on Raymarine products and whether they would be honored by Garmin, using the C-Dory example about which we have had so much discussion. I think there is a much higher prospect for the Raymarine warranties to be honored as there appear to be some...

I have not been to Cuttyhunk in a couple of years and never aboard my C-Dory. There used to be a small part of the inner harbor where you could anchor although such space was very limited. Something makes me think that this area was located where it would not be possible to wade ashore...

I work in the finance industry (energy project finance, all technologies, all sizes). Based on where I worked previously before setting up my own energy consulting practice I have had an opportunity to see a good bit of securitization and it is fair to say that there have been securitization...

Brent wrote: "I dont miss my HP 11C business calculator" Brent, the problem was that you were using the HP 11C (silver across the top) which was the scientific calculator rather than the 12C (gold across the top) which was the business calculator! LOL Now, for some interesting facts...

Jim -- Those sailboats are some of the new class of sailboats from the US Naval Academy. They are only a couple of years old. I forget the designer but they were designed especially for the Navy. They get around the East Coast in the summer as they are part of the summer program in the early...

Denny O -- Before changing the location, I checked for potential overlap and there did not appear to be much. I looked carefully at the forward cabin side and the roof overhang. If anything, the roof overhang is closer to parallel to the centerline of the boat than the forward cabin sides...

Since I have completely rewired my boat, and seeing LED nav lights on a friend's boat, I decided to replace the original side Perko nav lights. I have had a concern that the grapefruit sized nav lights on the cabin sides were too low for good visibility and that when the bow lifts, it might...

I generally take waves at a bit of an angle as others have suggested. What that actually does is turn them into a longer period wave which makes them a little more gentle and reduces the risk of truely stuffing the bow. You do have to be real careful at the helm so that you do not slide out...

Bob -- Could you givesome additional information on the fuel pump that you are using for polishing? Is it 110V or 12V? I have looked but can't find anything that seems like what you have on either the AutoZone or NAPA web sites. All I can find is diesel transfer pumps. Given the dangers of...

Jim B. It looks like your friends from TX with the Ranger have made it to NYC. I was looking at a blog that I read all the time on the 6th Borough (NY Harbor) and lo and behold, there they were headed south by Poughkeepsie. If you have their e-mail address. they might like to see the picture...
