The TV show Magnum PI debuted in 1980. I was 15 and enamored with the show. The whole concept of Magnum living the high life was a fantasy. Anyway, always loved the shows. What was your favorite Magnum PI episode? Mine was somewhere around season three when one of Magnum's buddy's was...

Sailflow is a weather app that predicts hourly wind and weather conditions and is pretty accurate within a 24-48 hour window. Sadly, it appears the makers of the app have put most of their data behind a paywall. Does anyone have any recommendations for an alternative wind predicting app?

So, if a sailboat's little engine can push the boat a maximum of 6 knots in calm water, can it go upriver in a 10 knot current? Say the river runs true North and there is 4 knot wind from the south, can the saliboat go upriver? Can the sailboat ever go upriver if the current downriver matches...

I splashed my boat on Saturday, and a maintenance deed I committed last summer decided to rise up and bite me in the ass. I had decided to scrub my bilge and it involved Dawn soap and lots and lots of water. Evidently, the linear actuator that opens and closes my engine room hatch really...
