Hey man... what's this all about man.... :cigar :arrow: (that's meant to be a joint not a cigar, we need a new emoticon)

Fan, You have my wife to thank for the availability of your plate. A few years ago that is the one I was considering for my truck but my wife suggested that I make it the spelling shown in the photo below. It struck a chord with me so it's what I went with on the Whale Tail plate:

My plan was to launch at Berkeley marina and head across SF Bay to McCovey Cove for the Giants – Cardinals game at ATT park. Launched the boat but the motor would not start. I spent a good deal of time trying to determine the problem but no luck, and all the time feeling the excitement of the...

I’m not sure I would want vinegar coursing through my water system due to the potential of a lingering stink factor and effect on taste afterwards. Vinegar is an acid that tends to permeate into materials. Of course, we’re talking about diluted vinegar here, but anyone who tries this please...

Nice, very nice.

Oh... I thought that blue thing was the porta pottie he planned to carry in the Taco.

I like your house...

Martin - My main claim to fame around here is having purchased Sea Skipper from Hank. Aside from that, I have done an exemplary job of keeping her clean and well-maintained. I consider myself a custodian, a keeper and guardian, of this fine boat. Of all the improvements Hank made, I think the...

Jay - Rest assured that there are many of us, who don't post often, who are following your travels with great interest. As my screen name implies, I am especially enjoying your philosophical musings along the way.

"Slow down everybody," Scott said. Wait a minute. This is about one person, Westar, making an unsubstantiated comment. Let’s hear from him now.

The 25 is a good boat for SF Bay because of all its weather. The boat will handle anything the bay will throw at it, but that does not mean it will be easy going all of the time. And yes, learning the ropes of boating the bay is key to success. Nonetheless, I would be hard pressed to suggest a...

There is a Peregrine Falcon nesting on the ledge of a building in SF. Here is the Link

Whereas the Marinaut and CD22 are too small for your stature, don't overlook the CD25. The TCat is a good choice but the 25 also is very roomy, it is lighter in weight and generally more nimble. It has the best headroom at 6'10". The v-berth has 6'4" of center length and 6'8" along the...

Desert Stream popped into my mind as a good name yours.

Don't be too quick to jump on board to purchase one just yet because there are reports of significant overheating on the lower left quadrant of the unit in portrait position. In some cases people are reporting that the unit shuts down and they get an error message. People are using laser...

Keith, that’s wise advice. There are moments when one could paddleboard through those waters, but it’s not advisable in a 16 when with a group of bigger boats that want to stay on schedule and get to where they want to go without delay. Those are waters where regardless of boat length one...

How do you people set the auto pilot sensitivity? In other words, more sensitivity keeps a straighter line and less sensitivity requires less frequent motor adjustment but more course variation.

FYI, Carlisle tires will be made in the USA again in the future. The company has decided to build a plant in Tennessee for this purpose. They will continue to make tires in China for the Asian market, but they will make tires for the US market in the US. Don't know the time table but the...

Here is the kind of dog I recommend. No muss, no fuss and it adheres to the KISS principle.
