Listen to your wife

Jim says, "I call this current time "my bonus years." I like to say "I'm past my expiration date." I like Jim's better. Well, I am the same age as Dr. Thataway (eighty eight) and although I never crossed the Atlantic on my own boat I did on a heavy cruiser and saw the Carribean on an LST. MY...

My wife Dotty was an outdoorzie person for most of her life. She also was a liveaboard for her first 18 years. Yet, inevitably, the time came when she could no longer safely climb onboard our 16 footer. We sold it and figured our boating time was over. Then, out of the blue, our son bought a 21...

Thanks friends for the information. I do appreciate it. According to the article it was also called "The Silver Swan". I like that. The article also states that it was 88 years old when dismantled in 2015. That happens to be my age. Something to think about.

This photo was taken just 21 Years ago, in December 2003, on lake Union.. That's Pat Anderson in Daydream in the foreground and JoeP and me in Miss Mirth following. The old ferry Kalakala is tied up in the background. The next day it was towed up to Anacortes. What happened to it?

Miss Mirth

looks like it has a swim step and a trailer with a spare. Does it have electric wiper(s)? I think it's a pretty fair price with the newer motor. Wish I was in the market.

Well, as a long time member, I have to say I love this site. I love everything about it. Truth be told, I don't understand 90% of the technical stuff discussed but I enjoy reading about it anyway. I love the name C Brats , forged in some long forgotten slight. I love the fact that I'm able to...

Congratulations to you . I know you will have many grand times on the beautiful boat. Also, a hearty happy Birthday to my favorite Navy snipe officer, Captain Charlie.

how to get a seat for at least one of the rascals in the lee of the cabinhouse.

As far as I recall, there is no stern drag issue on an angler, That balance discussion related only to the cruiser model. Leave the batteries where they are. As for adding a seat, I built at box with a padded cover over the portapotti Some years ago I bought an angler in similar condition to...

..and regarding flat bottom vessels, As a hospital corpsman I was transferred to the Seabees in '57. During a winter storm in January we rode an LST from Davisville Rhode Island to Grand Turk Island in the British West Indies. Anyway, all those ships are now razorblades and we're still here to...

See.....

This discussion reminded me that many years ago I crossed the Atlantic on a heavy cruiser, the USS Albany. Next to us, on our starboard, was the battleship Wisconsin. We were followed by two destroyers, the Vogelsang and one other, and two tankers, the Caloosahatche and the Allagash. On Sunday...

Sincere condolences.

As Mel Allen would say, "How about that!"

I don't use this stuff but I found this recent opinion piece interesting. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/16/tech ... atgpt.html

Well, I didn't anchor much, but you are right about the wet rode. As to the windless, mine was seldom used so I had a sunbrella cover made for it. Lastly, I see no need for a rug in the cabin. It's bound to get moldy on a 16. Just my thoughts.
