Nothing but miserable experiences w/ yards...sometimes I have to use them and it is always a cluster f*** that I get overcharged for. Fortunately, an aquaintance that has been just as frustrated with the way yards treat their customers is opening a new yard just down the ICW a bit, so if/when someth...

Looking good....

That pic of the two waterspouts and lightning should be entered into a photo contest :)

I second the Maui Jims :!:

Rob, I think for the most part, forecasts are a generalization and subject to be 50% wrong. I meant to look at the various sat photos including water vapor, frontal movements and combine that with the typical weather patterns for the time of year. Being a self professed weather nerd....I'm still tr...

Vince, Please allow me to second Capt. Pat on the outboard box louvers...during our repower (Bahia Mar w/ Cummins) the yard put louvers in the side panels beside the engine boxes as well as the aft section of the boxes themselves (for "staion wagon" effect). Loud wasn't the word...we measured the dB...

awesome stuff

good link in the comments section to a letter to the media (DesMoines Register) from a pilot.

Thank you sir...off to shop

Capt. Pat,

Need to order some books from Amazon, but don't see your bookstore...of course I can stare into a refridgerator for an hour and not see a gallon of milk...(doesn't seem to happen with beer tho...)

Thanks,

Rick

Anyway to work in a trip to the PropStop?....those folks seem to know how to party.

PS...UV, still watching the mailbox for the CX bill...can you just let me know the $$ and I'll send you a check?

John,

Found the old invoice and gave them the order no etc...so maybe they can pull something up for you.

Rick

JC,

I sent them mine several years back....strange they wouldn't have the specs from when they built mine???

Rick

I second Charter Lakes.

So is that what your going use to chef up vittles for us when we come to visit? And who's running the boat?? If it's the guy you were talking about someplace else should we bring our own fenders?. Are libations included on the charters? None of that PBR swill please. You bet...best ribs/rump/etc yo...

We grill a lot....usually 4 times a week, year around (the other nights it's leftovers for the kids and we skip, or pizza). Lump charcoal (Wicked Good Charcoal is the best....order it by the flat) on our HastyBake has served us well for the last 10 years, but it was a little lacking in the long roas...

Just saw that Sirius and XM are joining forces.....hope XM gets the Buffett channel

I'd send it back to them if the tinkering doesn't work. Funny I just posted this story on the 33 site: when the satellites went out on me, presumably from solar flares, That's the plan, and regarding solar flares (borrowed from the Hatt site) Forecasters from National Oceanographic and Atmospheric ...

Sean,

Yep, done the updates hoping to cure it. I'm going to shoot a little video of it to send to Garmin if the tinkering they want me to do doesn't fix it.

UV, Yessir, the course line is on and it's much more pronounced while underway (at cruise), not as bad when trolling....just spoke with tech support again after hearing that nobody else seems to be experiencing the same issue and they were puzzled also. I'll be going to the coast next week and they ...

I don't know what it is guys, but when I'm on "course up" heading to a waypoint (independent of range), the screen "resets" each time the bow is knocked a bit by a wave. Scott, it's not that the boat has changed course (other than maybe a fraction of a degree for a fraction of time). I thought it wa...

I've got the 3010 and dislike the fact that unless you always have it "north up" the screen jumps all over the place (I prefer course up)...there is no way to adjust the refresh rate. When navigating, you have to scroll all the way up or down to see what's off screen rather than "page up" or "page d...

Here is an interesting site that has pro Meterologist guys discussing the global warming deal (as well as weather patterns...good site for fellow weather geeks like me): http://www.easternuswx.com/bb/index.php?showforum=36 And one that indicates Mars is heating up also....much CO2 emmisions on the r...

cool site....that "832 known Potentially Hazardous Asteroids" kinda got my attention too :shock:

Rick

I'd guess reflection of the blue tarp by the boat......sweet ride prof

Looking forward to yellowfin fishing w/ ya this spring

Capt. Pat or other savy computer guys... Whenever I go into a thread that has new posts, and return to the index, I lose the ability to tell what other threads have new posts (the little black arrow thingy disappears on those threads) Anyway to make those thread remain marked as so until I go into t...
