Lots of times, but only as a transient for a few days at a time.
If there are pilings for your bow lines it shouldn’t be bad. If no pilings out there then that would indicate to me that the dock isn’t meant to be holding boats that size and stresses in a storm might cause issues.
Arrived at a restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary and they had it on at the bar. I think it might have been mostly tape by that time, can’t remember.
I was driving home from a pronghorn hunt in Wyoming when the verdict came down. Thought the CB was going to blow off the dash of the...
Yep. Wait, what’s a carburetor? :)
our 7.4‘s on the 330 had carbs. What a pain they were.
The 8.1‘s on the 360 ran flawlessly for the 5 years we had that.
Well, yes and no. I know plenty of people who have moved up to newer boats with all of the things that the original poster is happy to be without and they have been trouble free (so far) and they would never go back. For us however, because we have always liked to cruise, less is better. The...
Around Buffalo, that’s how you know who all the new people are in town. They’re the ones driving the xyz body shop courtesy cars around between Thanksgiving and christmas
We live right on the path of totality in the summer. We met some nice folks from central PA here in FL at the rv park. They left last week to go home and then will travel to Erie PA to see the eclipse. They couldn’t understand why we wouldn’t go home 3 weeks early to see it especially since we...
only suggestion I have would be to stop at different places on the way back. Besides the ports you mentioned, we also have enjoyed Cheboygan, Cheboygan brewery and restaurants, Harrisville, small town but stumbled across a good cover band playing in the park, they have a summer nights in the...
For the nav lights, if you don’t want to paint them, try searching the numbers in post #4741. Pictures appear to be lost from the site meltdown a while back. They still look new. Might be the same as the ones you’re looking at. They were an exact replacement for the old oem white ones.
From my experience visiting the islands where you do most of your boating, you must keep a lot of smelling salts on the boat!
When we anchor at Kelly’s or Middle Bass, we chase them around with the dinghy.
21 kts @ 2250rpm, 27 kts wot +/- 2725 rpm
We’ve taken many cruises 30 to 90 days On both our 400db and the 360da.
With the 400 db the longest was the U.S. portion of the loop, 402 days with 1 week off the boat to come home for Christmas.
The Bahamas was a little over 8 months with a one week...
I have always read all the different ways people winterize and wondered why they don’t put directions in the manual on how to do it right.
My RV owners manuals have detailed instructions on how to winterize and mostly all RVs are plumbed the same for winterizing. Hot water heater bypass and...
I think that 37 states rooting for the Niners vs only 13 for the Chiefs is a little shocking. Is this the Taylor effect?
The bar we watched at last night was clearly mostly “who cares“ fans, most left at the end of half time and we are in the Tampa Bay Area right now, so it figures, but every...
My 40 year old son and daughter thought that the half time show was better than most recent Super Bowls and I thought that the national anthem was better than what ever it was that some of the past anthem singers were doing. Not surprising, the NFL certainly is not catering to me or others my...
I’ve always used s miles. Karen has always blogged our loop, Bahamas, and other trips. The rest of the world that might be reading those blogs has no idea what a knot or a N mile is.
Not much, don’t want to mask the flavor, just a little salt and tiny bit of garlic powder to bring out the meat. Pepper to taste for her, no pepper for me.
When I go out I always order them with no seasonings. Never know what I’m going to get if I let the cook serve me the way he likes it.
