Yay!!!!!! Congrats my friends!

Dug

I'm Just Sayin'!!!!....

You know, it could not be resisted...

D

Dug

Coolair,

Well...duh!

You got it before I did. You speak the truth!!!

Dug

Dug

The permits you need to dig the pond are f$%king ridiculous... my neighbor just did it.

That being said, black sea bass are not the same as tautog, so I'm good I think...phew!

Dug

Dug

Cool Gif, will do. Alchemy took 176 gallons to run east of Atlantis and back on an overnight trip (via Block Island to pick up Steve Miller) and I dare say we would likely have burned a few less gallons if we hadn't stopped and started on just about every high flyer on the way home. Not bad for a 24...

Dug

Bruce, Ahhh... you have lit onto one of my sore spots... I think it really depends on what you are contending with. First have the water tested. Results will dictate what you are trying to deal with, if it comes back with anything at all. If you are on a municipal water supply vs. a well, you are pr...

Dug

You will be! I am glad she carried the image well! You guys sound like you had a hell of a day! Very cool!

We filled the boxes with Mahi, and released a white. It was a blast!

Dug

Yes Bob, awesome to hear your voice! How did you guys end up doing?

It was a fun day, and a long ride home. Haven't filled the tank yet, so I am not entirely sure how much burned... but it was a bit!

Dug

Now UV, we all know that ain't gonna happen... :)

Dug

Awe Bruce, even after that, they had what I would call a very successful year. Try to tell me much of anything in life is fair nowadays in sports, and I have to say it would be the first time I insult your intelligence. And that is a statement in and of itself, because I have never had cause to do t...

Dug

Carl, thats what it is all about. Sounds plenty exciting and wonderful to me! On my world, it has been an upside down season, hell an upside down year. The weather put the brakes on use more than I would like, and Liz and I are on the rocks for now...she moved out a few weeks ago. I've gotten offsho...

Dug

Bob....you know better than to say that the Giants kicked the Pats ass. Come on... you do know better. It was a victory in true Pats style, to be honest. A worthwhile and real victory, but a hail mary pass if there ever was one! I wish the Jets luck. They sure have stunk up the Jerzey shore for a lo...

Dug

Pete, Holy moly! You have certainly had your share. I am very glad you are ok, and on the mend. And glad it was not any worse. Please toot the horn if there is anything I can do for you. Say the word. Keep up the strength, mental will, and positive attitude. I know you didn't sound like you had run ...

Dug

Ok, I think I run at a higher rpm at wot. Like 35-3700. I cruise at 3100.

That gives me a 27-29 knot top end, and a 23 knot cruise.

Dug

Patrick, I think Bruce covered it all. I have not gotten the interface for my E120, though I likely should. I am a bit challenged with my Sirius right now anyway, as the satellite water temp etc. is not working, despite a paid subscription, so I need to open the box and fiddle apparently... Argh. Dug

Dug

Ok Bruce. Very good advice.

I'll bite...

What should my 240 hp, 4 banger Yanmars turn up to at WOT?

D

Dug

Happy Birthday to all the Leo's!

We are the center of the universe of course! :)

To UV, Hueso, Randall, Caren, Bruce, Mikey, Andre and Captain Bob.

Please to share the time with you all!!!

Mine was of course on the 29th, and I appreciate all the well wishes given!

Dug

Dug

I don't know, I will encourage her to join in. If I know her, she will!

Looks like a good fun time chucking water balloons at each other, thats for sure!

I will pass it on, and maybe talk her into swinging by. She was with some big boys on a little baja speedboat...

D

Dug

Raybo,

YOu will be happy with straight up Roundup from Home Depot. It kills all.

The new stuff has spots and wilting showing up within hours...

Dug

Dug

Kinda had a chuckle... I have a friend who went down to Baton Rouge etc., this past weekend and did some "howdy boating" as UV would say... Came back raving about a place called the Prop Stop! Pictures, videos, the whole deal. I told her next time she was there, mention UV to the staff. Might get a ...

Dug

John,

I am going to assume this is the boat you have been working on for a couple years now? Or is this another?

Either way...wow!

Just think, if she has been sitting this long, how much wear and tear she has been saved!!!!!

Dug

Dug

It was a great get together! Gif did a spectacular job of tending to the required and inevitable details presented by a party like this. It was seamless. And a blast! The facility was first class too. Clean docks, immaculate restrooms, a great pool. But most important was the company. It was great t...

Dug

Yeah, the Morgan is getting a bit of work done... I was there last year a day or so after they hauled her.

Makes our stuff look like childs play, no? Heck of a nice little boat yard!

What is your plan for today?

Dug

Dug

Congratulations UV!!!!

Dug

And yes, we have had a LOTof rain!!! Particularly between an hour and an hour and a half after I saw the boat! Dish soap was washed off guaranteed! And a soapy highway was a guarantee!

Dug

Hey! I just passed Otter! I was heading north on 128 and she was heading south! She looked damned pretty![/code]

Dug

He sure did!

And Bob, you need to say that!!! :)

Dug

Thanks guys. It is just a bit surreal to not be in my 30's anymore. Not a complaint however! Dick, the boat is in pretty good shape, but I am actually proud of my gym results. I am probably in the second best shape of my life, given that I figure my first best was when I was an undefeated NE rowing ...

Dug

I'm now officially 40... And so is my boat...

Dug

Ok, as the only member of the faithful who has yet to miss a shindig, I am getting pretty psyched for this rendezvous in Pt. Judith. I am excited for the new venue, and I know Giff has been busting his tail to get this put together for all of us to enjoy. As an experienced rendezvous organizer, I th...

Dug

All my info has told of fish on the flats, and north of the tails. Great break showed up last week. Wind has sucked... or blown, depending on your point of view. I don't want to be out getting pounded in 4-6' seas... New life raft should be ready to go in a couple weeks, and I am declaring open seas...

Dug

Scott,

You have to be happy, for sure!!!!

Congrats!!!

Dug

Dug

Mike,

Good point!

Hell it is almost worth it for me to detour to BI from Mystic just for the mudslides!!!!

D

Dug

Bob, Straight easy shot. About an hour from Montauk. Maybe 1.5.

No obstacles. Unless you want to detour to the Oar on Block for a mudslide. Always a worthy detour!

D

Dug

Ray,

My boat is actually kept in Mystic, CT, so unfortunately I won't be able to run together. I would have loved to however!

Sorry,

Dug

Dug

Dougl33, I agree. First sun I have seen in a long time right now. UV, thrilled to hear that for you. To my core. Your talk about food however has me thinking. Maybe it is time for another UV recipe? Any to share? It has been a while! good to hear you are on the mend my friend. I have missed you. Dug

Dug

Charlie and all I have to share this story. Your comment about FEDEX and the top popping off brings it all back... My buddies who do like to shark fish participate in the Star Island tourney every year for the past few. A couple years ago they went in a 28' Grady. When they got back I asked how it w...

Dug

I'm with JP. Getting tired of the rain... It is 68 and humid, at the end of June. Global warming my ass....

Sun is supposed to come out tomorrow. I only remember what it looks like in pictures...

Dug

I think we are up to about 7 boats. Who else is coming!!!????

D

Dug

That's exactly where I sit with mine...

Dug

How much savings to you anticipate? Is it enough to pay for the replacement of both engines in a worst case scenario? How quickly would that payback be generated? I would look at it as a business decision in a sense. Though I am sure you already have. To me, the risk does not outweigh the reward in ...

Dug

Woody Wax will help your tower.... the metal anyway.

Dug

Dug

Gif's right!!!!! Lets get back in the saddle! I called to make my reservation this morning...yes, I have been slacking. If you know Bertram owners, spread the word. This year looks to have a fantastic facility, and unique surroundings, but best of all, good company! Can't wait to see everyone, and a...

Key West has taught me that what happens between closed doors is fine there. I then have the choice to join or not...

The assless chaps at the door handing out evening advertisements was a bit much with kids walking by, but hey, each to their own I guess...

Dug

Vic,

I love Tip Top Teak. Stuff is awesome. Just rinse it with soap and water periodically after oiling, and throw on another coat. It will last a while.

Wierd enough, I even love the smell. Reminds me of summer and times on boats with teak growing up.

D

Dug

SIM,

Block island has something for everyone. I love the place.

Shoot me a note, or give me a ring. I will explain further. 508-792-5007

Russ,

You can also call JB Tackle in Niantic, CT. Ask for Kyle or Kerry. They always have used equipment in a good range. Tell them I recommended you call.

Chiles, With all due respect I am not sure that many of us would be able to tell the difference between the performance of a current model Furuno and Raymarine radar unit. Best chance of that would be side by side comparison, which few if any are going to actually do on the boat. It is kind of like ...

Dug

I have a couple of updates. Dean posted 3 in a row for his status today so far... "I will continue to keep in touch with him and will pass along news as warranted so as to not have EVERYONE contacting him all the time. He seems remarkably positive and upbeat this morning. Keep them in your thoughts ...

Dug

What a great shot. Enjoy that lovely ride. Sounds to me, and looks to me, as though she has found a great home.

Wow...
