    New 510- Photos? Thoughts?

    Looks like a lot of fun this past weekend at the SR Homecoming. We almost went, but had a other obligations pop up. No matter, I was really interested in seeing some detailed photos and reading first hand accounts about the new model. I don't have the time to go through both threads (now...

    New (2011) 450 DB

    Is it just me, or does the exterior of this boat resemble a Meridian? We are going to the Merritt Island invitational this weekend. I'll be interested in seeing this up close. http://www.avaladirect.com/450DB_flipbook/#/1

    Weird boat gremlins-looking for ideas

    Gremlin #1. For about 2 months I "had" about 2-3 inches of water in my bilge. I could never figure out where it was coming from. So...I get my small Shop Vac out and suck it all up. The next week it's there again. Note- I am under a covered slip, so this is not rain water. So, I do this a...

    Boat Relo question to the Tampa, St. Pete area (I'm from the "rest of the world")

    This is a tough one. IMO, we live in boating mecca; however, work calls and we are being relo'd to the Midwest (aka not a boating mecca). We have a couple of choices: sell the boat here, or move it. The air-travel convenience of Florida is appealing to where we'll be living. Plus, we both...

    High Tides/Low Tides

    For pure entertainment value, and for those of you not aware of the tide changes we have in the Puget Sound area, I posted a small number of pics that show the "typical" tide changes we see (twice per 24 hour period). The pictures are of my marina in Gig Harbor. Today was a 14 foot...

    Costco and Sea Ray

    Hmmm, am I the only one that has never heard of this program? Not sure how much value it may have on an actual purchase, but you never know. I stumbled across it purely by accident... https://www.costcoauto.com/searay/Default.aspx

    Finally found a glass polish that works

    I had some bad water spots on the forward hatch and some moderately bad spots on the windshield. The ones on the windshield were really driving me crazy on sunny days with the glare on the water. I have tried everything...vinegar, a variety of hard water spot removers, even the Magic Eraser...

    The Great Siberian Sushi Run- Captains Blog

    For those of you that dream of taking an "extended" journey,here is a good blog to read. Not as funny as Gary's last year, but better scenery :) The background: Three Nordhavns making a run from Seattle to Japan via Alaska. So far, it's been pretty entertaining/informative read. There...

    Seriously- what are these politicians thinking??

    Think of all the political careers (good or bad) that have been thrown away because of this stupidity. Good grief. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31522908/

    Autogeek.net for boat cleaning and polishing

    I've used these guys for years for my own auto detailing chores; however, I just noticed they have a boat section as well. They have just about anything you can think of to detail or clean your car (and boat)- including some things you don't normally think of. You may notice they have a bunch...

    Newsweek article: "Captain Repo"

    I've been doing a bunch of traveling over the last few weeks. While on a Chicago to Seattle flight last night I was catching up on my backlog of Newsweek magazines. In the 2/23 issue I came across the following article: http://www.newsweek.com/id/184752 Notice the backrgound image on the...

    Who has a water softener filter for washing your boat?

    Do these work? http://www.softcellwater.com Yes, I have the Mr. Clean system and is great (for how much it cost), but let's be honest, the spot free feature is slow and only effective if you are about 2 feet from what you are rinsing. Just looking for something to minimize spots on the...

    Seattle Boat Show, Opening/VIP night

    Wow, Lake Union Sea Ray did a masterful job of getting almost every boat they have into Qwest Event Center. They even brought all the big boats in, including the 55DA and the 60 foot Meridian (they now carry that line as well). I have to say, the Meridian bridge boats are very well done-...

    NAR... boating related read during the winter doldrums

    Yeah, so this was 2004, but I was desperate to find something boating related to read since Gary's summer trip blog is a distant memory. The radio blogs were captured during the Trawler Transatlantic in 2004 when 18 trawlers sailed from Ft. Lauderdale to the Azores, then to Gibralter. Click...
