This was yesterday in my neck of the woods. While I have no love for gators, I kinda feel sorry for this old guy. He was a big'un! http://www.islandpacket.com/front/story/6632661p-5908937c.html

Does anyone know anything about these, from personal experience or otherwise? A friend e-mailed me today and is looking at a 1999 model with a 260 hp engine. Asking price is $28,000. All I know about them is from what I see for sale on yachtworld.com. I advised them to have it surveyed and...

There are some great webcams here, and like they say they are great to get realtime weather info especially on days like today with the remnants of Barry moving up the coast. http://www.maineharbors.com/camindex.htm

Sunday afternoon while we were out on the water I was monitoring Channel 16 (as I always do), when CG Station Tybee came over with a pan pan and switch to 22 for a bulletin. The bulletin was that there was a 20' Wellcraft adrift in the Cooper River, and for boaters in the area to be on the...

I just saw this piece about the Flying Colours, the sailboat missing off the NC coast. It's very sad. Sailors’ circle holds hope http://www.projo.com/news/content/a_sailors_life_05-18-07_UB5M866.355c273.html

I thought I'd share a few pics from last weekend's cruise. I know y'all like pics. ;D Places, everyone. The dogs had been swimming at the beach already, and were ready to chill. We cruised up the Chechessee River, past islands and sandbars, until we reached the Hwy 170 bridge at Lemon...

One of my favorite boats, and someday I just might have one. Was in Charleston last weekend and stopped by a marina, saw this boat which I have seen there for several years. Sad to say its condition . . . well, let's just say it has looked better. :-/ Still, I lusted after it...

If I had lots of spare money, and time ::) Fiesta, a 53' Ray Davis, built in 1972 This boat is tied up a hundred yards from the PD. I know the owner. She is, to me, the quintessential classic sportfisherman, and she is in beautiful condition. I have been lusting after her for years. I only...

Not so much a recipe, anyone can do it. First thing is to work with a guy who regularly goes offshore and brings you fish. ;) He gave me some wahoo he caught last weekend. I've grilled it before, but never fried it. So last night I got some Zatarain's and got busy. Here's the finished...

After a spring of home improvement, the PD is finally in her slip, and life is indeed very good. Launched by myself Saturday (no pics), and simply took her into her slip where I spent 3 hours cleaning 4 months of dust, pine pollen, oak pollen from the top, deck and cockpit (scrub, scrub...

I may have to look into getting one. :D http://www.ifilm.com/video/2741675?ns=1

Morning, all! While cleaning up the P D I noticed that this is cracked (black windshield support) at the base. I know West Marine had them years ago, but a check at ours turned up nothing close. We even went through his old catalogs and came up empty. Anyone know where I can find one? Also...

Barbaro, the Kentucky Derby winner, was euthanized on Monday morning at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Veterinary Medicine at New Bolton Center in Kennett Square, Pa., ending an emotional, eight-month odyssey that began when he fractured his right hind leg in the Preakness Stakes...

Saturday dawned with a hard frost, clear skies and around 30 degrees. A good day to take my best friend duck hunting. :) He's going on 11 years old, and moves pretty slow most of the time. But he thinks he's a pup again when the shotgun comes out. Taking a break, waiting for some to fly over...
