Dirt suggested Fisherman's Friend on Netflix. Yup, a good 'un.

An entertaining musical and spoken commemoration of a harrowing sea rescue. Try to channel your inner Irishman to understand the language. <g> The lifeboat crew were all volunteers! https://en.wikiped

What's clever about this company's sail assist system is that it mounts into standard container clamps. Easy and cheap installation without modifying the ship will make it easier to get shipowners to

The regular trolling motor is a 30 lb. Minn Kota. It uses a 12 volt battery, preferably a deep cycle battery, but a car battery might work for the short float after Thanksgiving. The "remote control"

We had a wonderful float down the Yaquina from Elk City this afternoon! :o) It was a beautiful day and we had a good turnout. The Pizza afterwards was delicious, as usual, and we broke into the Boatsh
