Nice Fish. Great Boat!

Agree with Tom's (& others') post completely. Can't believe I did my first round trip to Alaska without auto pilot. Until I did a 2,000 mile trip without it, I thought it was some kind of "frill." It is a great benefit under many conditions. However, I would put it in the potential...

Hey Marty! Thanks for the links. I lived under the Fremont Bridge decades before the Troll or Vlad moved in and Yuppified the neighborhood. I was just fresh out of the Big Green Machine and going to school on the GI Bill. It was the 60's. We lived in a basement apartment right next to where...

It's getting darn hard to keep up with the conspiracies. There used to be a contingent, here and elsewhere, that was convinced the whole "pandemic" thing was a hoax perpetuated by big gobment and its commie allies, and/or big pharma. All but the truest of the true believers among this group...

If you have bottom paint it might be a good idea to check on the kind of paint you have, and how and where you are going to have it cleaned, before you start. FYI: https://ecology.wa.gov/DOE/files/9f/9f9f5b86-865a-431c-9254-1216cf5bba49.pdf

1. Anecdotal accounts should not be the basis for making choices about responding to a pandemic. 2. Referring to these vaccines as "experimental biological agents" is not helpful. 3. Referring to someone's well-intentioned posting as "drivel" is not helpful. 4. Pay attention to what Dr. Bob...

Almost certainly they were for cockpit lighting. My boat had strings of small lights run under the cockpit gunnels. The switches allowed you to turn the cockpit lights on when boarding the boat at night. I have to say, I rarely used them, but they did provide a nice low light for the cockpit...

Marty, Thanks for posting the link. Pretty astounding: "One year later, the Seattle area has the lowest death rate of the 20 largest metropolitan regions in the country. If the rest of the United States had kept pace with Seattle, the nation could have avoided more than 300,000 coronavirus...

Just got my second Moderna dose (after 4 re-schedulings). The first dose was administered by a nurse whom, for more than one reason, I refer to as "Jabber the Hurt." Other than a sore injection site, and little tiredness, however, I had no real side effects from that first dose. I am...

That's just a feature of the PM system. Until the intended recipient actually clicks on the message, it will remain in your "outbox." Once the recipient looks at the message, it shows up in your "sentbox." On the larger question, agree completely with tsturm. Just don't put the dielectric on...

There are actually two little boxes that will take you to the same place. In the far right column on the "View posts since Last Visit" page appears the name of the last poster. Next to that name is another little box. That one works, too. Both boxes have a bold black arrow pointing to them...

I believe you need to click on the little yellow/orange box. At least that's how it works for me. That takes you to the last post in the thread.

I don't personally know of anyone who has cheated to get a shot. Apparently, some have. My wife and I are both age-qualified under Phase 1B1. We have both gotten the first shot (Moderna) and are scheduled for the second shot. The instant I heard on the radio that the Governor had announced...

Here's an interesting article on the herd immunity goal: Fauci on Herd Immunity No one knows, of course, but some estimates are that as high as a 90% vaccination rate (or otherwise acquired immunity) may be necessary before herd immunity will cause the virus to dwindle on its own. That's a...

Ah yes, and they told us that new clear energy would make electrical power free, and no need to worry about the loss of arable land because we will always have the largely untapped and limitless bounty of the sea, and also, you know, just generally "Better Living Through Chemistry." Mr. McGuire...

Here's the Science on line news article: Coho Deaths We seem to have found yet another way to kill fish. :cry:

Just to be clear, that's what I did. I had two switches: One fixed switch at the helm; plus the wired remote switch shown in the pictures previously posted. My normal practice with two aboard was to have the first mate control the boat from the helm while I managed deployment or retrieval...
