Sink a boat today and you'll get arrested and fined for pollution. The EPA rules!

That Friday event was a super hit! As per last year, we should encourage "pot luck" contributions of food by attendees too. Great way for everyone to meet.

Harry- That's a long document and I can't comment on all of it, but I heartily agree that in no way is Chemotherapy a cure. It's an attempt to slow down what they don't know how to handle. I have unfortunately had the experience of losing my first wife and sister to that dread disease and have been ...

Randall and I tried to get rid of Ethanol laced fuel legally and couldn't.

Brewster-You HAVE to be kidding!

Randall- keep your cell phone with you. When Dinaz slipped on black ice and broke her leg two years ago, it was her cell call that got me to find her and get her to the hospital. I would have waited for an hour before I would have gone out looking for her.

If you lose your permit, you can't get it back. The more permits they lose, the smaller the group they have to deal with. That's probably their intent. A long time ago a mate who used to work for me told me I was crazy filling out all these reports and wanted me to lie and give false locations and a...

Because I have a Charterboat license and a Federal Fisheries Permit for Northeast multispecies, I have had to send send in a catch report every time I took people out. Been doing that for years. I have never sold a fish, but when the Permits first came out, you had to have one if you fished in Feder...

I've done some photography of jet airliners taking off. Also got misted lenses (and me) and a bit fuel smelly. Weren't military fighter planes though. Maybe different fuel.

Similar experiences. Accept nothing as it is. Ask questions. Get second and third opinions. Trust your gut more than the doctors. Do your homework and become an expert on the subject. Question every single thing they do, read every prescription, check every pill, Google every doctor. I always rememb...

What awful news! Mark, all our thoughts and prayers are with you, your wife and little girl. Words won't do it, so I won't try. Be strong my friend, your family needs you more than ever right now.
Daniel, thank you for letting us know. Walter

You might also want to look into the offshore rods sold by Cam Seigler. they come with a gimbeled butt with a removable cap. He and his son Cam jr are pros and know offshore fly fishing needs. I have an Abel, Albright and Seigler and find the Seigler softer at the tip section and stiffer/stronger as...

Global cooling?

The major moneymaker for the site when I did Montauk was the "raffle". I'm sure Charlie has input on the last Greenport Rendezvous. Bob Fiorese did a fabulous job both for me and for Charlie. He's in Florida for the winter. Maybe he'll chime in if he's watching the site. As I have in the past, I'll ...

I'll try and find out from him if he hasn't gone down south for the winter.

Sounds like fun. There's a dedicated Mako fly fisherman in Montauk with a 31 Bertram called Tippet that has solved his Mako releasing in a very unusual way. I witnessed it on my last trip with him and it worked 100% of the time. His flies are all tube flies which he threads on a 2 ft wire leader (no...

They used to do that at advertising agencies and magazines of finished illustrations. Kept them on file for a while then "cleaned out the files" every once in a while. Today they're worth thousands.

Dug- Back when I was President of the Art Director's Club I had one of our Annual Awards Dinners on the Intrepid. Having cocktails on the flight deck on a June evening in black tie was a very special experience. It was one of our best attended dinners.

If they had played the first half the way they played the second half, it might have been a different ending. I guess that's football, but it was almost like a different team came out for the second half.

Check with Tony Athens just to make sure you will not be hurting your engines in any way by doing that. 1-800-200-2628 Three hour time difference. I'm sure we'd all be interested in what he'd have to say.

If in fact the Gloucester, Mass. people are against it, you can bet Barney Frank and John Kerry will join in the fight. As much as I dislike both of them, we can use all the help we can get. Given the change in the house, I would suggest writing Republican members in the house no matter where you li...

As I understand it (I might be wrong), The Cummins 210's are Turbocharged but not aftercooled. The 250 is turbocharged and aftercooled, but not salt water aftercooled. The higher hp 6bta's are salt water aftercooled. The sallt water aftercoolers need a lot more maintenance in order to keep doing wha...

Anyone notice that the language on the certificate has changed? We are now U.S. Merchant Marine Officers. Any chance we're entitled to a Pension after 25 years of service?

That's a tough decision to make if you're used to running from the bridge.

Largest source of hot air on the continent. Major contributor to global warming.

The problem is as simple as a recognition of the major credibility gap that exists with all fishermen, both recreational and commercial, that ANY governmental or private regulatory group has done anything to bring back any species, and their total inability to do anything on an international level t...

Varnish teak that will sit in the water is a set-up for a horrible complete strip job and redo in a fairly short period of time. Oiling is the only way to go.

Like the Cole was hit by a licensed Charterboat captain and his boat. I could more understand checking out Donzi's, Cigarettes and Fountains than us.

Capt bone- In all the 35+ years I've had/renewed my license, this is the first time I have ever even heard of the existence of a Continuity Renewal! Many thanks for bringing it to our attention. Getting my renewal, my TWIC card, my two $100+round trips to NYCity cost me well over $500 and gave me th...

Fortunately I had to renew early last year only to find out I had to travel 120 miles to NYC to be photographed and fingerprinted (this was my 8th renewal). After renewal I was told I needed a $132.50 TWIC card from Homeland Security, for which I had to be photographed and fingerprinted again on the...

Peter- that's a new model (and bigger, I think) that I haven't seen. There was a 42 footer in Montauk I had seen that was very much a longer, wider B-31. Similar accessible outside engine hatches, etc. Low hull profile. Beautiful.

In Memory Walter K

I have a friend in Montauk with an L&H with twin Cummins and a tower. How they got so much in that boat in functional amenities is to be admired. It is a low maintenance, BEAUTIFUL boat, perfect for our waters. Absolutely my second choice unless I was 20 years younger and wanted bigger...then it wou...

Peter- If you're planning to go to the Somerset fly fishing show, I'm sure you will see some stuff there that will give you more to think about, with the added advantage of seeing and feeling the merchandise. It's always been a long run for me to do alone in one day. What time in the AM do you leave...

The ultimate center console....to me.

If your 2nd boat is no larger than 16 ft and powered by no more than 25 hp it can be considered a "tender" and covered by the insurance on your larger boat. Check out Traveler's Insurance with your agent.

In Memory Walter K

Yep, have you noticed how much warmer it's gotten the last couple of years?

In Memory Walter K

A couple of those long foam "noodles" they sell as pool flotations could act as transom rollers to help get a light 13 footer into your cockpit without marring your stern. Just a thought. Two man job I would guess.

He told me they weren't scared when they jumped over Normandy. When they had to make their second jump in Holland, they were all scared stiff. They knew it wasn't fun and games any more. Normandy was very sobering.

Why am I smiling? Probably because I needed that! Thanks Rawleigh!

Thanks UV- Seems like all good things come to an end too soon nowadays. The saving grace is that Southern Charm is a small personal company that seems to be professional and personable.

My ex-boss/buddy was in Easy Company under Winters. He died several years ago before all the Band of Brothers notoriety. I found out his military history by reading the book after he died. What a special bunch of men.

John-Have you considered a side rather than center console? Makes for a lot more in boat mobility in a small boat. Just a thought. Walter

I usually find 8 beers and a not-so-visible installation a combination that's quite comparable to yours.

If they aren't doing it, it's a shame. The only guy I can think of is Andy Ceslow out here who did a rebuild of a helm for Bob Fiorese and me. He's usually busy, but it may be easier during the winter months. His number is 1-631-335-0823. Usually you'll get a recording. When you leave a message, tel...
