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...

Here's what I did so I could operate the windlass through the hatch from the V-berth or out on the deck. Having watched a cellphone slip out of my pocket and make a slow walk across the deck and into the drink, I decided against a wireless switch. :roll: I also liked not having to worry...

Agree 100%.

Ditto. Night time and fog are the two times when radar mattered most to me. If I had to run in either condition, I was likely to be going very slowly.

The original twin Yamaha 50's on my 23 would push the boat to around 30 mph at WOT. Most efficient cruise was around 4200-4400 RPM which produced a speed of about 22-24 MPH. When I repowered with twin 70's, WOT speed increased to around 35 MPH. Best cruise remained about the same, but...

Well, that advice was given almost ten years ago, so who knows what any of us were talking about in this thread back then. :lol: I for one am having enough trouble with whatever it was I said yesterday. I think the polishing suggestion was more of a diagnostic one than a cosmetic one, i.e...

Thanks for posting that. What an impressive rescue. Hats off to those coasties and their skill, bravery, and determination. I once put my survival suit on right about where this rescue occurred. I was coming south out of Ernest Sound in increasingly bad conditions. I thought about seeking...

Here are some previous discussions: towers Towers II Towers III Of course, the most famous is: Seriously, read the threads. There are some very good cautions offered by some very knowledgeable people.

Marty, you're asking a guy with more solar lentigines than hair follicles. To be honest, I don't have a clue. I just thought it sounded kinda hip, or something. I'm just guessing, but I think it might be an acronym: Trifling Witless Erratic Electronic Transmissions.

Absolutely! But an extremely hard row to hoe. Both the U.S. Senate and the electoral college are anti-majoritarian institutions that were probably necessary for the unification of slave states, non-slave states, large states, small states, industrial states and agrarian states into one...

No argument here. As I said "When in power, each side seeks to create as MANY "safe" districts for their candidates as they can." Getting as many safe districts as you can necessitates cutting the margin as close as you safely can in each district. As you noted, part of the game is handing the...

I agree. Very good points. One big reason that primaries have become so polarizing for both parties is the gerrymandering of electoral districts. When in power, each side seeks to create as many "safe" districts for their candidates as they can. If you are running as a D candidate in a...

That was exhilarating! Thanks for posting.

From Doug at Scan Marine: ". . . Wallas builds two different lines of marine products, kerosene products and diesel products. All diesel products have a "D" in their name (as in "30D"). The kerosene line is comprised of products that are older in design, since Wallas started making kerosene...
