Charlie, how's your first mate sally doing? I hope all went well. Butch

Well Mike... you have gone and done it! This is a good thing though. You will be suprised as to how much time she'll spend with her horse. And.... when she's doing that, it leaves little time for other lesser influences in her young life. Mike ya did GOOD! Butch

Mike, did you see how that horse was looking at you in the pic you posted? It needs a good home and owner... You could always name it "Tyboo Two" that way it won't feel so bad when you have to shell out all that dough. My wife says I have two money pits. One is a my boat where she says I just...

Mike I have a neighbor that just bought his grandaughter a Mercedes SUV for her 16th. birthday. He sure did not do that for his daughter and I had to jab a little on that one. His response was that his 16 year old grand daughter is literally making him several hundred thousand dollars per year...

The one thing about C-brats is we are never at a loss for offering assistance or an opinion. I can't even begin to tell you guys how much I have learned from Tyboo, Charlie, Ken, Greg, and the list goes on. I hate to admit it but the site is addictive... especially if you have a passion for...

Ken, that's not a dumb question at all. Trying to become one with nature for me is a state of mind or attitude. First I'd like to say given our life style in today's modern society it would be almost impossible to be 100% in tune with nature (environment). However, there are things we can do on...

Folks, my heart goes out to the people of New Orleans and surrounding areas. but the hard fact is this was bound to happen at some point in time no matter what we as humans did that may have led to this response of nature. Do you realize the temperature of the Gulf of Mexico is 2 degrees warmer...

The bottom unit can be mended with time and a bit of cash, however, how's the better half (first mate)? Sorry to hear she is not is good health. Our prayers are with her and you. Please keep us posted. Butch

Mike, I use my PC for work and as far as I know (remember that is...) have never played a game on it. C-Brats is the ONLY site that I subscribe to for pure leisure and boating in general. I know I look forward to checking out what's new on the site, the pictures, and of course the discussion...

I have learned a lot following this thread and I do appreciate those that took the time to chime in such an important safety topic. I to would like to hear how the swamped boat thing turned out... Butch

Guy's, I have read the thread and I do not understand what the real issue is here. I do all of my boating in the upper Chesapeake Bay in shallow water and currents nothing like you all experience over there. By the way, shallow water over here in the Bay is <60' in almost all cases. I am really...

Greg, you already live in God's country... where ya moving to... I'll bet it's on the count of a gal! I have a buddy who moved his whole family to the middle east for work. They used a large cargo container kind of like the one in your post. Only one thing though... The container was on the deck...

Amen Bro! Can't go wrong on a C-Dory for fishing and getting out of the weather! Butch

Hey Chris, do you have any more pics :lol: Or should I ask if you have posted more pics recently. I don't want to miss any of the work you have been doing. Butch

That's pretty much what I did today. I worked on the boat, sweated bullets, and then took her out for a spin. The wind was at about 20 knots so I asked my wife to bring her into the slip. With boat hook in hand I stepped on to the bow to capture the bow line once she brought the boat to a...

Greg... you are one warped dude and I envy you! I am a little nuts too, however, its in a significantly different way. It's like Larry the Cable Guy says, "Get'er Done". I do so enjoy your exploits, stories, and Pics! Keep'em coming! Butch

Guys, bottom line is this... listing due to body weight is a matter of physics. There is a direct porportional relationship between the mass of the vessel and the mass of any object placed within the vessel. The closer the two are in a mass versus mass relationship, the more the interfearance...

Bear poaching... we have them here in western maryland also. I was at State park last winter doing some ice dive rescue training when several forest rangers with us were called away to "accompany" one hunter to the magristrate's court for killing a black bear. The state impounded (took in the...

RF... what were the culprits poaching? I can only dream about plying waters such as the PWS... we are working to get the Chesapeake Bay back in some resemblance of shape. We have a long way to go... The marine police are really cordial over here. They are strick, however, without hem the upper...

I had to do the same thing several years back to a Basset we had for almost 13 years :( . Elsie was the dumbest dog alive, but was a swell pal and companion that never changed from the day I brought her home as a pup. I have pics of her tripping over her ears with feet 3 times too big for her...
