I thought I'd share a few pics from last weekend's cruise. I know y'all like pics. ;D Places, everyone. The dogs had been swimming at the beach already, and were ready to chill. We cruised up the Chechessee River, past islands and sandbars, until we reached the Hwy 170 bridge at Lemon...

One of my favorite boats, and someday I just might have one. Was in Charleston last weekend and stopped by a marina, saw this boat which I have seen there for several years. Sad to say its condition . . . well, let's just say it has looked better. :-/ Still, I lusted after it...

If I had lots of spare money, and time ::) Fiesta, a 53' Ray Davis, built in 1972 This boat is tied up a hundred yards from the PD. I know the owner. She is, to me, the quintessential classic sportfisherman, and she is in beautiful condition. I have been lusting after her for years. I only...

Not so much a recipe, anyone can do it. First thing is to work with a guy who regularly goes offshore and brings you fish. ;) He gave me some wahoo he caught last weekend. I've grilled it before, but never fried it. So last night I got some Zatarain's and got busy. Here's the finished...

After a spring of home improvement, the PD is finally in her slip, and life is indeed very good. Launched by myself Saturday (no pics), and simply took her into her slip where I spent 3 hours cleaning 4 months of dust, pine pollen, oak pollen from the top, deck and cockpit (scrub, scrub...

Morning, all! While cleaning up the P D I noticed that this is cracked (black windshield support) at the base. I know West Marine had them years ago, but a check at ours turned up nothing close. We even went through his old catalogs and came up empty. Anyone know where I can find one? Also...

Saturday dawned with a hard frost, clear skies and around 30 degrees. A good day to take my best friend duck hunting. :) He's going on 11 years old, and moves pretty slow most of the time. But he thinks he's a pup again when the shotgun comes out. Taking a break, waiting for some to fly over...

I'm beginning to attempt to set up a website for my wife's business, and was wondering if any of you guys have set up a website before? I began by searching for a domain name, looking at register.com, networksolutions.com, and finally godaddy.com. Godaddy seems to be the cheapest for at least...

Knowing how you like hunting . . . and feet . . . ::)

at the fuel dock where I usually top off the PD. We were at a cookout in Savannah, so we had no idea until this AM. http://www.islandpacket.com/news/local/story/6151532p-5383710c.html Sounds like someone had a fuel leak. :(

So he says. :) MIAMI (Reuters) - A noted hurricane forecaster on Tuesday predicted the Atlantic hurricane season will see just two more tropical storms and no more "major" hurricanes. William Gray's forecast team at Colorado State University predicted the season will produce a total of 11...
