Brad.....I will say it again. The trip with you, Thomas, and your father-in-law was one of my all time favorites, bar none. I wore my Back Cove hat to pickleball again just today. Love that hat! And I am a huge fan of Back Cove boats after riding that distance with you guys. I talked with my...

I certainly remember the trip well Chris......glad you brought that diamond in the rough back to to her original beauty! Great boat! Rusty

Well bless our good Lord, I am back on the water after surviving an ordeal with that C word for the past six months. I am being told I am good to go, so in lieu of sitting on the couch waiting for full recovery (if there is such a thing) I have decided the best place for my type of therapy is...

Life is what it is, and nobody can change that. We are dealt a new hand each time we sit down at the table or wake up in the morning. By reading all your writings, a couple of quotes hit home right away, and for years past. My current condition is on the road to recovery and after completing...

A treat for an old yacht captain! This past week I was fortunate to be able to help out my friends at the plant in Merritt Island by transporting a brand new 400SLX down to Lauderdale for the show next weekend. Mother Ocean was a bit rough (4-5’) out of the south this past week, so I made the...

Heavy rains and strong winds but dealing with it in Boston. Now concerned the damn thing will swing back around and cause more headaches.....At some point I have to be heading back south, but not today or tomorrow, dang it Rusty

I'm in Provincetown feeling a little exposed out here, so we're headed to Boston within the hour. Will be at the Boston Yacht Haven before noon, good Lord willing. If I was home, we would prepare for CAT 1's by waxing up our surfboards, cawabonga! Folks up here are not used to this stuff, so I...

Well, here I am hundreds of miles away from my home state, which is known by many to be the hurricane center of the country. Yep, I am wondering why it is that I am in Provincetown Mass, way out here at the tip in the Atlantic Ocean having to prepared to deal with a hurricane??? Was in...

Here now, but headed to P-Town tomorrow...dang it! R

Hey Scott, I will be at the Boat Basin tomorrow (8-18). I am a on black hull 60DA Rusty

Really enjoyed the conversation Danielle......please keep us all posted! Capt. Rusty

I just hope and pray it is not an act! Thank you boatrboy! R

Let the reality of the story set in before reading about the adventure…… To be a part of a crew that mustered three men from three different generations, and all from the same family, WOW!....... I told the young master onboard that one could probably count on a couple hands how many times a...

Hallelujah!...... Its just makes all the BS going on now meaningless. Love ya Mike ! R

I'm not in Savannah but I certainly try and make it stop when traveling the coast. One of my most favorite of cities, with more historical markers than any other in the US. You're at the hub of great places to go from where your at. Down to Fernandina FL and St. Augustine, or north to Hilton...
