Buzzard Rock Marina and the girls

We took our boat to the Kentucky Lakes area for a visit in the fall of 2011. Following is an account: Friday 10/7 Buzzard Rock Marina (Approximately MM 39.3 Lake Barkley) Back in the late 90’s we kept our 37’ trawler here for three years. It was a very friendly laid-back spot...

We stayed at Lighthouse Landing last October. It's a neat little marina. Very close to Kentucky Dam, and nearly directly across the lake from Kentucky Dam Marina and State Park. Lighthouse Landing is mainly a sailboat facility, but they don't seem to hold that against power boaters! The...

Hi Takukla: We spent a week in the area last October, and had a great time. I've written a piece about the trip, and really need to get it posted. We launched SSV and left the truck/trailer at Buzzard Rock Marina which is real close (on Lake Barkley). The launch ramp is good, and there's...

We have a 2010 Ford F 250 Super Duty Twin Turbo Diesel truck. Highway mileage without the boat is 14 MPG. Towing SSV at mainly highway speeds drops the mileage to a consistent 11 MPG. The truck has plenty of torque and power, so you're usually not aware that SSV is behind, even in...

Welcome to the group. We also have a Cape Cruiser, and have found this list to be very helpful, and on occasion, rather spirited! Any time we've asked a question, or raised a concern, there have been many excellent, and sometimes thought provoking replies. That's good. It keeps...

Hi Jim: We have the Weber Q 100, and absolutely love it! For the last two seasons this grill lit every time on the first try. No drama. It's made of a heavy cast iron, and if you follow directions, cooks very well. Once lit, you should allow the grill to become hot before you put any...

Hey Ron: That would definitely be poetic justice! With my luck, though, someone would hook up this "reserve" fuel to OUR outboard instead.

Hello All: In addition to Sal Salis Vita we also have a 19' Welcraft center console that we keep on a lift on our lake. It's very close to where we live, but we can't see the boat from our house because of the trees. The kids use this boat for tubing/skiing, while Lori and I have a...

So, Dr. Bob...what are you going to name her?

Thank you Chris! That's what I needed. C-Brats come through again!

Hello All: Can someone provide the manufacturer, size, and model number for the replacement lazarette covers that Joel on Sea3PO formerly made available? I emailed him, but he no longer has any of the pertinent information. He believes they were made in New Zealand, and the...

King Salmon Marine's website now shows a price of $21,950.00.

Starcrafttom is spot on about different hazards ashore. Our oldest son moved to Jacksonville, FL a little over one year ago. He keeps asking us to come down and visit him, while incorporating a cruise on the St John's River at the same time. It's a lovely cruising area, but until we we're...

Hi Smirkin: We have two furry friends that "cruise" with us. A Chesapeake Bay Retriever, and a Golden Retriever. They each weigh upwards of 75 pounds, and absolutely love the boat. We have an 8' inflatable that we carry on the cabin top for shore visits. They get so excited when the dink...

HI Peter: We have the less expensive Sailrite Snap Fastener Deluxe Installation Tool, and it works fine for about $30. They have videos at Sailrite.com that show the proper use of this tool. We also bought a hole punch cutter tool that is a lot easier to use than an awl, when...

Lori and I both have high pressure, fast paced, stressful jobs. Time frequently seems to lose any meaning, as we simply "rush" from one day to the next...unless we're on the water. We just spent 8 days living aboard, and it was (as always) an amazing transformation. A day lasted an...
