Yeah that’s what I thought. Listen, learn, ask and recognize who knows there sh*t, pay attention and re-read every g*d d*mn thing you read.
Many of us here have tons and tons of boating experience. I do, but read any of my posts from the last year and you will clearly see that the boats and systems that I’ve been exposed to are limited. I’ll comment on things I know and suggest to things I believe may be an issue, but clearly there are many more here that I listen/read to and learn from. I’ve been boating my entire life and if any of you want to come West and go for a boat ride I’m all in, just PM me. I know my area and the nature of boating and where to go like the back of my hand, but since I’ve found SRO (now deceased for similar reasons) and now CSR do I really feel much more confident in the efforts I instill into my boating and the reason for that is guys like Frank W, Frank H, FC3 and Gary + a few others that question erroneous statements, WAGs, ignorant suggestions and completely cut and pasted BS found somewhere on the internet or other “how to sink my boat” websites.
The point is……………….. We have some very seasoned and tested advice + a sounding board here that is unequaled. If some of the rotten eggs here can’t handle a little sarcasm, detailed ridicule to filter the sh*t and decide to ruin it for the rest of us that is sad. Grow up, be a man and realize that Gary’s sarcasm and political stances (whether you agree or not) is part of the reason a website/forum like this works.
It’s difference of opinion, experience and attitude. Adjust

Month Long Chesapeake Bay Cruise on 480 DB/Four Suns
I'm starting this thread to share some of the highlights from our month long cruise around the bay. You'll have to be a very bored person to follow this but I thought I should document this some place for my defense in case I throw one of my children in the drink after being in close quarters with them for a whole month. I'm sure the moderators will shut me down after my second post. Our crew consists of my wife and I, 4 boys ages 8 to 16, and two Golden Retrievers that have to pee every 3 hours.
The cruise will take us from the southern bay to the northern bay and our stops will include (but not limited to) Solomon's Island, Rock Hall, Fairlee Creek, Havre de Grace, Annapolis, St. Michaels, Oxford, Cambridge, Urbanna, Onancock, and Baltimore. Our longest stay in one spot is Annapolis for a week where the kids will be taking sailing lessons for 5 days at the Annapolis Sailing School. I will also be visiting Jim over at BOE Marine and demanding my burgee as I know he has them and is holding out for a higher price.
We made it up to Solomon's Island from Williamsburg, VA at the end of last week and yesterday we ran from Solomon's Island to Rock Hall. We are staying here until Thursday and they brag the fireworks display is going to be the best of the bay this year (yeah... ) and so we will go anchor out with the crazy people tonight and check that out. We had dinner at a little patio place here at the Haven Harbour last night and made the guitar player try and sing "If I had a million dollars" by the Bare Naked Ladies... he did pretty good... He couldn't do the Spice Girls though...
Here are a few pics:
