We must remember that Asian Carp was introduced in U.S. waters by... humans. Yes, we should make efforts to stop them from migrating further. I have read that they are commercially valuable in...

Whovian58 liked post by flandria On thread : Chicago to South Manitou Island

OK, since you are writing a story, you can use your imagination... Assuming your 190 "direct course" and an average speed of 6 knots, your boat is going to sail for almost 32 hours before it gets...

Yes, true, and I get it, and enjoy it... Now, the trick is to depict the life of the cruisers from the perspective of these freshly marinated and baked visitors for the funny side of your life as it...

Rarely does one get to see something like this. Best point, in my opinion, was that the "crew" was in control at all times. Yes, it might have been wiser to not even try a departure under these...

benesailor liked post by flandria On thread : Is Sailing an Elitist Sport?

The America's Cup is elitist, and has always been from its inaugural event in the 1800's (the owners didn't even bother to sail their own yachts). The origins of "sailing for fun" are also elitist in...

mgmhead liked post by flandria On thread : Humor at the dock (mostly unintended...)

Thanks, Outbound... Here's another one. Same marina, at the rather confined area near the haul-out (lift-out, really) dock. A pretty new motorboat, something like a 25ft cabin cruiser, slowly...

I get a kick out of Zeehag's take-no-prisoner comments... In any event, she's right when pointing out that the daily routine (if you can call it that) of just handling the boat and... living without...

Perhaps not so much about seamanship - but here is my "chuckle contribution" Dropped a piece of metal overboard, while in the marina (forget what it was, but that's for a different thread). Oops....
