Does Vessel Assist have special rights when running their yellow/red strobe lights even when not (apparently) engaged in any rescue? The boat I see seems to always have these lights on when out of...
I had really been looking forward to the Made In Santa Cruz Race Week this year so I might get a chance to test my proto-Jester dinghy among its one-design cousins.1880 Anybody know anybody in the...
Went from suddenly hungry to suddenly non-hungry in seconds.
Happy New Year all!
Looks kind of ferro-cement-y.
"In a hundred years, the only way you'll be able to get out on the Bay is if you first buy a ticket." I scoffed when I first heard it, but not so much anymore.
Similar to asking politely if someone would care to exchange two tens for a five I suppose. As the letter reads: "You may use our services to renew your USCG registration through our private online...
Good point. The humpbacks are said to not really get along with their murderous brethren and sisteren and it seems within the realm of possibility that the humpback thought it was hazing one of them....

Fucking hilarious. And the drone pilot who wasn't exactly minding his own business buzzing the pier thinks the fisherman is an...
The automatic floating feature gave me an idea.
Fuck me but I was up early that morning before the big dog was at work.

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) — Coast Guard crews continued their search Sunday morning for at least four people missing in the water after a powerful...

I often tell people that it will cost 5 dollars U.S. for them to take a picture of my car, but I've never had the nerve to actually try to enforce it. Maybe Oracle and Artemis feel an even stronger...
It could be a practical tender in protected waters for a boat large enough to have a drive-up ramp in back.

Blinky says relax.
I look at their dashboard as they go by ... a stuffed animal, an I-phone docking station, and swinging from their rearview mirror...such a useful device!... some dogshit whose purpose must be to numb...
All great comments!

I'm guessing that any Santana 22 will be able to beat it around the pins of the Berkeley Circle.
Excellent--but I'd be interested in seeing a follow-up study and tutorial exploring what if any differences there might be when using these techniques in warm waters when the victims are wearing...

Or is the secret to planing an El Toro in glassy conditions a loose luff and proper hiking posture?
I've heard plenty of good things about it and will check it out. As Hanno mentions, cartoons can make things more interesting--one of the reasons I've always been a big fan of Patrick M. Royce's...
IMHO, barging, by which I mean sneaking in on a full-speed reach when other boats are chugging along close-hauled (and not necessarily the situation you had to deal with) can sometimes get you a...
At least we aren't talking about bleeding anuses now.
oops.
I'd expect that since the sunny side of a boat has worse growth, that light colored surfaces on that boat would make the problem worse.
