I know I am not telling you guys anything you don't already know but I was surpised at just how deep some of the lakes in the USA are. Lake Tahoe has a depth of 501 metres, now that is pretty deep. This story is also pretty strange in that they found a diver that went missing 17 years ago...
Well I am not sure to be honest but I am going to give the skipper the benefit of the doubt and call him highly skilful in controlling his yacht.

Hi All,
Now I know this is a Sea Ray forum however I also know that many of you have been into boating for a long time and have got a wealth of experience with all kinds of watercraft. I was wondering when it came to jet boat manufacturers, what are the thoughts on the quality of the work by...
We are trying to sell and as we are hauling out and having the engines repaired I thought it might be an opportune time to update some of the electronics package at the same time. However I would like to maximise the selling potential so I would like to know from a brokers point of view what...
Hi All,
We have a big problem that we need to address before we can hope to sell our boat. A buyers mechanical inspection showed that both engines need their sumps replaced as they are leaking through corrosion.
Now I am obviously not happy but it is a case of sucking it up and getting the...
Okay, so we have a cat problem. For some unknown reason all the cats in our neighbourhood have chosen our yard as a designated fighting, breeding, and meeoowing ground.:smt013
I have been wondering what to do about it and I have just seen the perfect solution, you just have to check this video...
Hi All,
Well I am in Adelaide in South Australia attending a Red Hat Linux training course for the week and today was our first day at the course.
Well lunchtime came around so they gave us an hour to go and get something to eat. Well I thought I might take a wander over to a camera store...
Okay so what did you all get up to whilst CSR was offline?
Well done on the upgrade too CSR admin.
Me, well I devoted more time to my photography, did some more post processing of images etc.
Okay we have a marina thread but this is more to do with photos around your home port, you know, where you boat.
Here is our home port of Port Stephens in NSW, Australia:
Well I could not believe what I was reading today in the online newspaper. This is our marina where we were going to bring our boat down to from the Gold Coast. In fact in one shot in the video you can see our berth.
I have never heard of a shark atack inside the harbour of Port Stephens...
Hi All,
I am really praying for you all on the west coast at the moment as there is a Tsunami on its way to the west coast atm. They are saying it is due to hit around 0300 west coast time.
The Tsunami that hit the east coast of Japan has been huge and caused massive damage.
Hoping you all...
Well I have to say that trying to sell our boat in todays climate with gas prices increasing is damn near impossible.
My broker tells me that they have seen a dramatic decrease in the number of lookers and in two follow up calls he did today both stated that they are no longer looking due to...
Hi All,
I have a quick question regarding my boat license and its use in the USA.
We are looking to do a bareboat charter on the ICW and I would like to know if this can be done using my Australian Boat License?
I know it is legal to drive in the USA using my car license from Australia...
Hi All,
We are considering taking the kids to Disney World in Florida in the next couple of years and I was wondering if it was possible to hire a large enough vessel to cruise one way up the ICW for a week? We would like to fly into Orlando to do the Disney bit then make our way to the...
Although it is funny I am also sure there were some very serious injuries, I hope those that were injured made fast recoveries.

My wife said this morning that it is time to move our daughter into a new workstation/desk now that she is in 3rd grade. The plastic desk unit she has is going into the sons room instead.
So off I go to the local furniture department store to buy a new student desk. I see one there that is...
I took this photo of an unusual rock formation last year. I think this should lay to rest once and for all that it is Father Nature and not Mother Nature that we should thank.:smt043:smt043
I am sure you will have noticed from some of my other posts that we have purchased ourselves our first cruiser. Admittedly it is not the Sea Ray we wanted, "Missed it by that much." as Maxwell Smart used to say. But in doing so we were given the opportunity to inspect a newly traded boat which...
Hi All,
Anyone converted ttheir gas guzzler to LPG? I am intersted in hearing from people who have done this. I see this as being a way to extend the life of power boating with gas prices going through the roof.
