The Topic of My First Sermon Is Important! A young minister about to deliver his first sermon asked the advice of a retired minister on how to capture the congregation's attention. "Start with an opening line that's certain to grab them," the cleric told him. "For example: 'Some of the best...

Actually, I think it's a lot of classy boat for $16.5k. :smile Would be best if kept dry in a garage or RV barn when not in actual use ("dry sailed"). :wink Great continual tinker / care project for someone who absolutely loves to work on boats like me, but somewhat (10-30 or more years)...

Honey, Do You Remember What It Used to Be Like? An older couple were lying in bed one night. The husband was falling asleep but the wife was in a romantic mood and wanted to talk. She said, "You used to hold my hand when we were courting. " Wearily he reached across, held her hand for a...

That's a Lot of Knots, Even For a Sailor An old retired sailor puts on his old uniform and goes down to the docks for old time's sake. He hires a prostitute, takes her up to a room and goes at it as best as he can for a guy his age. After a couple of minutes, he asks, "How am I doing?" The...

I replaced a couple of windows on my CD-22 myself simply by taking them out and going to a local auto glass shop where they can cut and trim replacements out of standard auto safety glass. Not a problem for any good shop. Hardest part was finding window tinting film to match the existing tint...

I also remember at least one boat that had their water tank moved up into the bow. This allowed the area under the rear dinette seat to be turned into storage, and moved some of the weight forward to hold the bow down and cut through waves and chop. You could also move the house batteries up...

Are you A Pilot? An old Marine Pilot sat down at the Starbucks, still wearing his old USMC flight jacket and ordered a cup of coffee. As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sat down next to him. She turned to the pilot and asked, Are you a real pilot? He replied, 'Well, I've spent...

A Blonde Takes Up Porch-Painting A blonde wanting to earn extra money decided to do odd jobs for her wealthy neighbors. At the first house, the owner said, "Well, you can paint my porch. How much will you charge? "$50" she replies. The man agrees and gives her the paint and brushes and goes...

As you no doubt have figured out, very few wiring diagrams exist for C-Dorys in general, partially because of the many different manufacturers that have built the boats over the years, partially because of the variations within the production runs of the individual builders, and partially...

A group of guys were chatting with a good-looking blonde and, somewhat improbably, asked her to climb this pole that was conveniently nearby. For whatever reason, she decided to do it. When she told her mother what happened, her mother scolded her: "Don't you understand that they only wanted...

Any update on the outcome of this story? Joe. :teeth :thup

Westie- This a common and very dangerous problem that has been discussed at length before on this site. The common Marinco 30 amp shore power cord set and inlet plug on boats frequently arc and cause boat fires. Probably the best solution is to convert the female end of the shore power cord...

Perfect for Captain's Choice Charlie! :lol: He was involved in towing and putting into mothballs and or a museum one of the 4 Iowa Class battleships during his Navy career. Joe. :teeth :thup

I want you folks to not take this comment negatively, but feel it'[s a good time to make the point, so I will. It appears to me that as boats get bigger, there comes a size where it becomes possible or desirable to make a transition from placing many of the accessory systems from out in the...

This topic comes up every couple of years or so. Lots of discussion about which brand to use, whether to mount it on the bow or the cabin roof, how to eliminate blinding reflections from chrome railings, night vision, how to hide the wiring, wired or wireless controls, etc., etc. Also, many...

Ferg- Sounds like you're committed. Tough choice. If you should elect to come out here, bring a gas mask, we've had 230,000 acres (500 square miles) of forest fires burn in Shasta County alone in the last month, and they're still not all under control or out. Would love to have some the...
