"It's the damned governments, misplaced security emphasis, and general charlie foxtrot that can only be mishandled adequately by hordes of bureaucrats from both of our great countries that gets me boiling."

Patrick-
I had the same problem and found out the status of my particular passport. Try these sites. Walter

I have a bottle of it, too. If I remember correctly, it is supposed to be an excellent cleaner, but don't remember if it's a bilge cleaner or all-purpose. Also, is it concentrated? If you find out, please post. Walter

Almost feels like too much food. If my memory serves me correctly, we did plenty of dock drinking and paid for our bar drinks just before dinner. Lobsters were served by a chef behind a steam table which we walked up to. I assume there should be an alternate dish for non-lobster eaters. Salad and co...

Vic- Now thats nice news! Hope the tourney works out well. Both hips now working on the boat and hope to splash this week. Panama is just around the corner! Walter

Dick-The fuel bill will be nothing compared to the dinner bill. Hope someone does the same for you on Father's day! Walter

You're looking at $4.50-$5.00 per gallon for marine gasoline this summer. My diesel delivery truck price this week was $2.40. To me, it's a no brainer if you're going to use your boat a lot. It's going to be a crowded inshore season...and a lot of dead NY Fluke "shorts". Thank your beaurocratic brai...

All these orders and no prices or address? Walter

Bruce- You stirred memory lane. How many people remember Gravel Gertie? A piece of Americana slipping away. Along with Dick Tracey. Walter

The gene pool is deteriorating...they outsourced their brains and can no longer figure things out for themselves.

Looking VERY good Bob! Walter

Damn! Another good company goes down the drain. They've made excellent temperature gauges that were virtually trouble free for over 30 years that I can remember. Walter

Hmmm...the credibility gap widens. Notice how the Democrats aren't beating in the heads of the Republicans on the issue? If I were them I would, but they like the additional income, too. The same goes for State and local governments! They get a percentage of the higher cost, and we can blame it on t...

I know Micron CSC is ablative. Walter

If the engines are running properly, I would check out grounding first, the sensor second and the gauge last. The easiest way to check the sensor would be to switch it with the one from your other engine. The immediate hot reading makes me suspect a ground wiring problem or debris touching the senso...

They installed a new Genset without asking you? Have you gotten their bill yet? Walter

When I trailer my B-20 I raise the lower unit and run an adjustable cargo strap under it and tighten it up as support. Walter

In Memory Walter K

From what I was told when I was considering putting a Stainless steel half round over my aluminum rubrail, there is the problem of dissimilar metals in contact with each other and exposure to salt water. I was advised to leave a strip of tape between the two and use a liberal amount of Tef-Gel in th...

In all the years that my marinas allowed me to paint my bottom (and there were plenty) it was ALWAYS one gallon plus one quart. Brushed the strakes and rolled the rest. Walter

In Memory Walter K

Hmmmm. Maybe a few of us should punish them. Walter

I was on the two trips after that and was also impressed by both the room and the comfort level of the ride. As a 31 owner, I suspect the Hyenaboat may be dryer even though I don't feel there's more flair in the bow. Walter

Regulations are going nuts. Flew the other day and took my 3 oz (or less) toiletries in my hand luggage in a gallon zip-lock bag. Security told me that they would not allow anything bigger than a quart sized zip-loc. Had to throw away the bigger bag and find a smaller container for my toiletries. No...

I'd think Montauk Yacht Club should donate something considering it's their second Rendezvous. Walter

Mine was placed under the port dinette foward seat in the space right behind the under seat drawer. Walter

I offered copies of "The Captain's Cookbook". Walter

In Memory Walter K

No way in hell is that a legitimate IGFA record fish. The captain of the larger boat has probably set a record for stupidity for gaffing a green Mako...and then doing it in his head. He's lucky it didn't jump in the boat. If you want to immobilize a Mako and keep it from jumping, it's a gaff south o...

Vic- Do your records show that you had sent me a Max-Wax? I thought you had but can't find it. Has it passed your test as an anti-fouling product? Don't know or remember if it is an aerosol, but if it's not a problem, send a can with a bill. Thanks. Walter

Randall-Where in Montauk? What's it's name? Walter

In Memory Walter K

My experience is that a signal will be received under canvas or fiberglass but not under metal. If the fiberglass is thick, it might get degraded. Most GPS antennas are small and innocuous enough. Placed under the swept back windshield of my B-20 has worked for me also. Walter

The storm hit Eastern LI pretty hard, but where we are didn't have the kind of flooding the TV news has been showing further down the island and in New England. Brewster filled us in on the Shinnecock area. Any word on how you all are would be appreciated. Walter

In Memory Walter K

Dick-I assume you have a Morse control system. If so, I'd take the cover off the helm throttle/transmission levers and also expose the engine. Start at the engine and disconnect the morse system from the carburetor and the transmission. If you can manually move both at the engine, the problem isn't ...

Call Montauk Marine Basin 631-668-5900. Ask for Mark or Carl Jr. Tell them Walter Kaprielian suggested you call. Give them the specs and ask for a price. You're not that far away so I'm sure they can UPS them to you. Walter

Only shows you how smart we are...and how dumb they are. We predicted this on our site over two years ago when Ethanol was foisted on us. It WILL get worse. Sort of explains why government doesn't factor in energy and food prices when they calculate the inflation rate! Walter

In Memory Walter K

I have to assume you have looked at the price of today's higher hp outboards. At those prices, plus a new tank (which you won't need if you go diesel) and the resale difference of a boat with a set of diesels vs a pair of outboards with less than a third of the lifespan of diesels, it's a no-brainer...

One of the biggest users of wheat gluten in America is in the manufacture of baby food. I'm waiting for that one to hit. Seems all of these supporters of international trade and outsourcing never figured out that these countries don't maintain our standards...nor is there a mechanism in place for us...

Dave-Glad to hear your clotting problems have been resolved so you can proceed on your chemo. I just got back from my second hip surgery on Friday and am slowly but surely recovering, but it's small time stuff compared to what you've been dealing with. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Don't get me started on MBA"s. They're a living argument for the need for Universal Military Training straight out of high School. They haven't seen an hour of business combat and want to come in as second lieutenants over men who need a whole different kind of leadership. The CEO's and their Boards...

Garry- Those big Pacific Sailfish on a flyrod had a lot to do with my deciding to get those hips done. I'm home now after the second surgery. Nothing like a little surgery to remind you that you're human! Thanks to all of you for your kind thoughts and prayers. Walter

Back in the 70's when I was actively chartering I had a mate named Ernie Libasci who used to tell me I was nuts tagging and releasing Striped Bass and Sharks and sending all the info in to places like the NMFS, Save-a-striper association etc. "What makes you think that iformation is going to help th...

Hey guys-I'm still alive. Stitched up, sore, but back at home. If the recovery follows the last one, I'll feel a little better every day and will move around easier in similar fashion. Somehow, psychologically, I expected to come out of this one standing up and walking. Unfortunately I left out the ...

Well, you guys know I had my starboard hip replaced in Mid December and now it's deemed time to replace the port one. I'll be going into NY tomorrow and the surgery is scheduled for Tuesday. If all goes like last time, I'll be discharged on Friday and will be back home that evening. Hopefully, I'll ...

Pete-Put the boat on blocks and go get your knees fixed. I suffered for almost 3 years with hips going bad and last season needed help getting on and off the boat. Finally decided I had to do something about it. Had one hip replaced in December and the other one will be done next week. I want to enj...

If you have a head you have to have a holding tank. You can have a "Y" valve to discharge overboard, but it must be 3+ miles offshore. Walter

Wow! A 23 pound Brown on an 8 weight must be quite an experience! You're sitting on prime Striped Bass fly fishing in those bays and flats near your place.
