    It's going to be going down around freezing

    and I'm wondering if I need to do anything to my new Suzuki 4-stroke. In the past my boat has always stayed in the water year-round, and I've never winterized because the boat was in use and water temps never got so low. But doing some necessary scupper repair and seeing as how I'm not going...

    Florence

    This isn't looking too spodie-odie for the Carolinas. Spent all day trying to find a place for the Pipe Dream or a trailer to borrow. Nothing so far . . .

    I'm looking at one of these for the PD while rewiring. Replacing an old Lowrance depthfinder and even older Garmin GPS. Anyone know anything good/bad about this unit?

    Matthew claims the Pipe Dream

    She went under (mostly) tied to the dock. Just got back on the island today to find her that way. Filed a claim with BoatUS and will see what they say. We are thankful that our house was spared from major damage. The island is a mess. Will try to add sad pics tomorrow. Any advice on insurance...

    Nothing coming out of my pee-hole

    of my Yamaha. Was going to go out for a ride this afternoon, and as soon as I started the engine I noticed. Faint dribble, then nothing. Of course I shut it down right away. Can't see any obstruction at the intake on the foot. Anything I can check before I resort to calling The Man?

    Internet radio listening...

    Thought I'd share a link I recently found, and knowing how many of us enjoy going to the Florida Keys . . . http://www.us1radio.com/ In my opinion it's a really good radio station, playing music from the 70s to contemporary, and news at the top of the hour. The local news is pretty interesting...

    Dogs on boats...

    I know that plenty of you guys take your dogs out on your boat. Our first two Labs went with us on all but the hottest days. We're on our third Lab, who is a year and a half old, and has been going out on the boat with us since he was only a few months old. Like our first two, he gets really...

    HMS Bounty

    Outside Magazine has done a lengthy article on her, for what it's worth. I will wait for the conclusions of the Coast Guard hearings. http://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/Sunk-The-Incredible-Truth-About-a-Ship-That-Never-Should-Have-Sailed.html?page=all

    Weekend trip report

    My wife and I have wanted to make the trip up to Charleston via the ICW ever since we repowered 5 years ago. Work and obligations kept getting in the way, but since we didn't take any real vacation this year we finally planned the trip as a way to celebrate our 15th anniversary. We didn't have...

    Help with computer monitor decision?

    My old monitor (4:3) died, and I found myself looking at replacement monitors that are all widescreen versions. The only two stores in this area stock NO 4:3 monitors, so I picked out the least expensive one and brought it home. It's a Dell 19". When I hooked it up it didn't look great, of...
