When I first read Bob's response I thought (spell-check), now I'm thinking - hmmm, does it porpoise on purpose? :)

Amines (the constituents which provide the reactions in vinyl and polyester Rxns) are highly dependent on temperature. There should be statements on the containers indicating the optimal range of temperature conditions which result in best working conditions. I am not certain of every product's...

I've played it a couple times in Seattle - fun stuff.

Holy Guacamole - Wowie Kazowie That's a work of art mate. Great weld points and polishing and nice bends. I'm curious about your comment on your picture - it holds your weight but you won't make a habit of it. Does the rail mount position on the roof of the cabin proceed through the roof or only...

Marvin- The majority of my professional career I worked on a medical research campus (Blood Research Institute, Milwaukee, WI) involved with a single enzyme involved in thrombocytopenia disease (a blood coagulation disorder). I routinely became involved in the early developments of stem cell...

*COUGH REMEDY* The pharmacist walks into the store to find a guy leaning heavily against a wall. He asks the blonde clerk: "What's with the guy over there by the wall?" The blonde clerk responds: "Well, he came in here this morning to get something for his cough. I couldn't find the cough...

Bailout According To Maxine BAIL 'EM OUT? Hell, back in 1990, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada for tax evasion and, as required by law tried to run it. They failed, and it closed. Now we are trusting the economy of our country and the banking system to the...

Rule 27 of Inland & International Navigation Rules Vessel restricted in her ability to maneuver—making way; vessel less than 50 meters in length.

Is that Hootie's cousin? :mrgreen: :beer

marvin- That was pretty good - I liked that. Thanks for sharing. Here's one for you:

Da Nag did a nice job of setting up The TugNuts site. Oddly, I get a queezy feeling when I say TugNuts, I'm sure this will pass. :| Jeff is the moderator of their site, as well e.g. owner of Ranger Boats. Very much unlike C-Brats site, I don't believe anyone from Fluid Marine is a moderator...

VHF 13 Bridge-Bridge - I did not know that - that is very good information to know. Thank you!

"Pon pon, pon pon, pon pon, this is the United States Coast Guard ____ Group. An unknown distress call was received on channel 16 FM... All mariners transiting the area are requested to keep a sharp lookout and report all sightings to this or any Coast Guard station. This is the United States...

Larry, Yeah, excellent point. Not sure why I didn't mention it. I, in fact, ran into nearly this EXACT same situation with a commercial ferry boat (~100'). He was crossing port>starboard about 1/2 mile at my 280 degree position. I continued my forward direction and hailed the vessel by name on...

Securite calls are generally made on VHF Channel 16 as informational alert/warning calls, but then switch another channel for the body of the call (generally). They are not, I don't believe, employed for MAY DAY or other imminent danger calls (I could be wrong). I think you begin the call by...

James, I have, in fact, read that. It is a very common sense rule in collision avoidance and makes sense. However, I would contend that if a captain sees a big boat w/ less maneuverability than his own, and he insists on "playing chicken" with the BIG BOAT because he's "following the rules" -...

I'll venture this based upon my flying experience. If you are considered the "stand-on" vessel during this experience, and you "are, in fact" the most maneuverable vessel, you must "give-way" to the least maneuverable vessel by engaging in a maneuver which displays clear intention to change...

Very cool.
