empty tanks work great for floatation.............local lore has it a crew of pot smugglers tried to scuttle a small steel cargo ship off montauk two decades ago... but even with the seacocks open couldnt get her to sink......large empty tanks kept her afloat

UV...i figure most here care as much bout surfing as i care bout fashion.........so to be brief........saw achilles the 25 year old bartender at the pool on the dock with a surfboard.....(8 to 10ft on the ocean all week).......so he tells me the river mouth by pinas' is going off like never before.....

i was over at a friends house today....fella is a texan who has a beautiful house on the bay...big water guy....open ocean sailing...and a fleet (like 15 or 20) wooden rowing vessles of all ages and discriptions, all in flawless condition..................so we're sitting in his living room and i no...

ok...im the worlds worst cook....although i can make any kind of toast.............i have a fridge full of mahi,caught yesterday, and would love to make (with caren's help) some "mahi fingers" like we had every afternoon in panama......before you say...is this guy kidding...trust me...i dont have a ...

the transom on mikes boat appears to be DRY...and it dosent look like theres any if little foam in the boat.....hey ..it could happen

UV.....the "blond bombshell" is growing pot plants?.........must have missed that when i was there....thanks for the CX...ill work it out with walter

talking to him on wed morning

its a great boat...when it ran good it showed alot of promise....we even took it out in the ocean through the inlet to see how that was....no problem...no surprise................today was a little different....went to the tails on a friends new 60 foot bertram....are we having fun yet?....i was ......

neil....save me a medium if you can....i can add it to my vast collection of bertram shirts

hey ric....not surprised....walking around a marina in montauk yesterday....not a single charter boat out...but gas was lower than a few days before...traffic in gardiners bay which is usually light is boarder line non existant....cept small outboards....see you shortly....randall

i spoke to him as well...told him to post on the site.........i think the marine industry is so small compared to cars that it ought to be possible to get gas without ethanol.....no way its going in avgas..........heard stories of folks canning it from the local station for their cessna's....and hav...

bruce....could you explain a little more how this is possible.....pretty amazing claim.....i think

andre.....it be true....not really sure who the joke was on but for me it was part of my two day perfecta....day one.... catch perfect remote rivermouth waves with 3 guys out.........day two...catch 10 large sails before lunch and a few tuna and a big bull mahi right at the bell......and all i had t...

great!! UV......looking forward to my next ride...........randall

it was 8 to 10 in panama and i thought it was flat.....and i'm supossed to have ocean savy....i lived on the pacific for 6 years and have spent some time in hawaii......and i never saw a swell period that huge.......it was like the boat was going slightly uphill....then slightly down .....probably w...

bad manners?..........not me senoir ..another Panama for you and the doctor ,por favor?............................just came in from a super fun surf session........only difference...30guys out

andre...........i was humbled by you photo ability.....no kidding...they were much better than mine......of course my camera cost fifteen dollars......but a good craftsman cant blame the tool....really like the one of the boat right off the rocks.....randall

doc....thanks in advance.......i guessing you're all healed up...we kind of lost you at the airport in miami....our flight was delayed and i didnt walk in the front door till 6 am......hope you had better luck....and better drugs................randall

like the report says.."randall took some time off fishing to surf with the staff and had an amazing time".......didnt suck at all...........still plan to write a little about it just no time yet.....but the memory sure isnt fading

hey walter....didnt forget about your deck rail....just nuts trying to put the boat back together....hard to work after panama
