    Gulf Oil Spill

    Space Shuttle

    Just before midnight the space shuttle launched off. I watched it from the back yard. With my telescope I could see the external tanks fall off as the shuttle climbed into the sky. It is now just a bright star in the night sky. I suspect that folks in titusville had a great show tonight...

    Seat Mold?

    In a previous thread I discussed the water flood issue we encountered this summer. $7,100 later...... And three weeks in the shop. The seats have what looks like mold. I have read the previous threads on this issue but no one has posted pictures of what it looks like. I have small specs...

    How to break your boat

    Well, it started the first day we picked up our new boat 2 1/2 years ago. There was water in the lower area of the cabin. Since that time our boat has experienced water in the cabin in varying amounts. Lately the problem has gotten worse. We had the dealer replace the sump pump that they...

    Towable

    The admiral acquired a new HO Sports GT-3 towable. I was l little skeptical based upon the size but my fears were unfounded. With the big surface area I got three adults up with no effort. This model has the riders in the sitting position. One word of caution, the spills from this towable...

    Springtime waxing

    Well, we really don't have spring here but it was 87 degrees here today. I finished polishing and waxing the boat for the second time this year. I have a couple of scratches or light scuffs in the color gelcoat. Rubbing compound doesn't fix them. I didn't find a thread on how to deal with...

    Superbowl cancelled

    Well at least for me. The admiral said to me last night, "Honey, did you know there is a football game Sunday?" "Yes, its the superbowl." "Well, I really wanted to go out on the boat this weekend and the forecast says it will be nice." "I see, did I tell you it was the superbowl game...

    Dear Admin

    I know I follow this forum because of what I have learned from fellow boaters. It is unfortunate that a free wheeling discussion somehow offends the law department of our beloved Searay but so be it. I don't know what Gary said that was deleted but isn't everything he says...
