Bruce

Thank you.

IRGuy

For the record it was I who posted a link to a web article which I submitted under the "You can't make this stuff up" heading I topic I post under occasionally. The subject of the post need not be mentioned here, but upon reconsideration I accept that it was inappropriate for this forum. What I cons...

Kevin... Sorry to have taken so much time in responding. Apparently several guys have had trouble getting back into the B33 site.. Doug L told me that you should try to rejoin the forum with a new name (not that yours isn't lovely) and a new password and see if that gets you straightened out. Hope a...

Hi Kevin...

Glad to hear from you.. I wondered where you went. I will contact David (I need to speak with him on another matter anyway) and see if he can straighten this issue out.

Great one Tony. I know iust the guy I will tell it to tomorrow!

My to those of you who noticed my above description of what the video clip showed stated there was more content than the clip actually showed.. I posted text for one video clip, but posted the link to another clip.. and for some reason posts in this section of the web site can't be edited.

Another interesting clip of several types of military drones. The first section shows a swarm of over a hundred drones released from 3 fighter jets. The drones are designed to communicate with each other but apparently also fly different patterns or missions.. in the test shown the red dots appear t...

I stumbled across this clip today.. ship in a snowstorm in the Bosphorus Strait.. I bet somebody had a world class pucker factor!

Just a little work and you could have a great ski boat!

Be sure to read the description.

Here in Wilmington, NC, we were at the bottom edge of the coastal snow/sleet according to the model. We had some rain mostly last night, no snow at all, and the rain stopped about noon. The temp is about 24F now (midnight) and supposed to get down into the high teens later tonight Once again we were...

Leadership consultant says millennials can't cope with the real world, says everybody is told they are "special", everybody gets a prize.. so they can't deal with failure, can't cope with reality. Most of us here have been aware of this crap for years! Did you need a "leadership consultant" to tell ...

John..

I answered your PM but not sure my message went through to you.. please let me know that you got it.

The same from me! With a new administration lets all hope Trump is successful and starts to turn things around.

Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukkah (sp? Sorry Navatech) to all the faithful here.

I am not sure if this belongs in the General Discussion or the Politics section, but here it is. I suppose there are all kinds of reasons for a woman denying sex with her partner, but this is really is ridiculous. https://www.thesun.co.uk/uncategorized/2464404/donald-trump-bad-news-between-the-sheet...

IRGuy

Thank all you guys for the nice comments.. this place is special and while I know I might post too often here I would hate myself if I stayed quiet and one of you had a bad outcome because I kept quiet. Regular checkups are the key.. for this as well as bunch of other problems.. be proactive! Dug.. ...

As I mentioned to Bruce when he posted after captain Patrick's passing, I missed the last donation cycle so I am overdue.. will send something as soon as you guys announce where it should be sent.

Thank you guys for carrying on what the Captain started.

IRGuy

Tom... So sorry to hear about your mom.. when my mother died from breast cancer, which led to cancer getting to other organs through her lymph system, it really threw me for loop. All I can say is stay strong and live the life she wanted you to live.. you honor her memory that way. Will remember you...

IRGuy

Neil.. The whole process is somewhat uncomfortable, with no real pain, but well worth it to know where you stand. The best news is it isn't there, the worst is that it is present but treatable. Prostate cancer is slow growing and my urologist told me early on that if I had it he could with treatment...

IRGuy

Mark S and I were trying to find a way for he and his wife to visit us here in NC and run up to Morehead City for the day but it looks as if they won't be able to make it. I do plan on driving up myself though. If another one of the faithful can and needs a place to stay we have plenty of room so le...

IRGuy

Thank you guys for your kind words. I am surprised at how many men I have heard from who have experienced some form of prostate problem since I started talking about mine. The "normal" BPH numbers vary from man to man because each of us has his own physiology, but it is the increase of each man's le...

IRGuy

Gentlemen During the past 6 or so months I have been dealing with a personal health issue, and with my fortunate outcome I want to encourage each of you to read below and heed my suggestions. Late this past summer, following a routine 2x a year physical exam I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Thi...

Just to make myself clear, my reference to the "Tonnage Rule" is purely in jest. I am not aware of any formal rule that says a vessel has the right of way in any situation simply because it is somehow larger than another, other than what I might call the rule of common sense. The Navigation Rules an...

IRGuy

Gentlemen... Absent specific details about a specific situation, I always follow the "tonnage" rule... The boat that weighs the most can take the right of way! My Captain's Course instructor, a long time ocean going Captain and First Mate, made it clear from our first day of class... It is appropria...

Just saw this post. A ferry and a recreational power vessel collide. It looks as they were on pretty much reciprocal courses. Can't tell if ferry was restricted in ability to maneuver or constrained by draft. Ferry blows 5 prolonged blasts (Danger or doubt as to what the other vessels intentions are...

A prestigious Hollywood PR firm is cancelling it's annual Christmas bash because so many of the "elites" are in a funk because of Trump's election. Poor babies..

Many years ago we lived in a town next to Marblehead, MA.. supposedly the yachting center of the northeast. One day a couple of friends and I took my 24' Grady from our YC to the Marblehead Town Dock so we could walk uptown and get some lunch. We tied up to a big float and saw a Rinker, about 28-30'...

Just saw this post yesterday. I understand that we all started somewhere, but as I write this "Stevethebrain" (very appropriate name) has posted on THT 298 times, and has been a member since 2012. Wouldn't you have thought that he would have learned enough in that time that he wouldn't need to ask s...

Max... I checked the product info and think you might be in luck.. so try the solvent wipe method and see how the color can be redistributed.. I have found that the tee shirt material can get rather clogged with filler and pigment, but that is because it is removing the extra color that you don't wa...

IRGuy

There are two possible materials your father could have used, one which is simply a colored varnish (such as MinWax varnish stain), and the second is actually a filler and stain that professionals use which has both colored pigment and filler, but no varnish component. Hopefully he used the latter, ...

Supposing it is a 12 volt system and the guy plugs into a 120 volt outlet by mistake.

I occasionally try to make a small contribution to this site by posting things a little out of the ordinary that I think are unusual, funny, ridiculous, or extreme. I am not sure what category this article falls into, so I am posting this under a new category I am naming "Whisky, Tango, Foxtrot". or...

IRGuy

And while enjoying the day lets all remember to give thanks to the best of the best we have to offer.. our men and women in the military, past and present, and their families at home who support them. Where would we be today if it wasn't for our heroes who gave their lives over so many years, in so ...

Thanks for stepping up! You are showing us all what a class guy you are!

Bob... There is no shame in a man crying when he is saddened by injustice or harm visited on someone he respects. I get teary eyed whenever I hear the Star Spangled Banner. It reminds me of all those who gave their lives so we can enjoy ours. When we lived for three years in Belgium my wife, 8 year ...

When climatologists can tell me with absolute accuracy what the weather will be a week from today I will start believing that they can predict how much the earth's temperature will rise in 50 years!

Thanks for posting! I have tried a couple of these, and will copy them all.

Great story Bob.. and great fish. It came to my mind as I read your post that if you were in a lesser boat than a Bertram the outcome might have been different. i have been about 50 feet from a whale that surfaced (about 200 miles off shore) and it was one of my life's most memorable experiences.

Where are you located? I am not sure how easy it will be to get it to the Bahamas.
