The water is really hard in the area so it's quite likely that the water heater will be so full of lime that you won't be able to drain it or flush it out. Also if it has one of those plastic boiler...

That must be the headwaters of the Hudson.

Choose the boat that most pleases you, from the sounds of it you've got ample skills to build what you like. I'm a plumber with all the wood working skills needed to do my job ( can whack out a 2x4...

Despite politics, this is a tragedy that has landed at the door step of people who have had no more control over their fate than did the victims of Sandy. It was a despicable thing for aid to Sandy...

Not a chance that schooner is gonna float upside down near Port Lavaca, you'd be hard pressed to find water deeper than 8 feet outside a dredged channel.

Beef jerky
Heath bars
Hot pork rinds - just for starters.

Not A6 but AT6 I believe, for Advanced Trainer

With the balanced lug, if I'm going to be running downwind for quite a while, I'll move the sail forward with respect to the mast to increase the balancing effect of the forward part of the sail....

A single income at the lower end of the pay scale is difficult for any one to live on and participate in modern society. Sure a few could resort to a hunter/ gatherer/ scavenger type life style but...

John Welsford is designing a houseboat, Footloose, that uses a footwell keel like this. It can be seen here: http://www.duckworksmagazine.com/12/webwatch/sept/index.html - just scroll down a bit. I...

+ 100^
I used to race charger class here in SA, all on my own dime, a $100 meant a new tire and a magnafluxed axle. I gave many a kid a ride around the track - great stuff, kinda humbling.

The President probably didn't want his wife to find out that he's been hanging out with Tiger.

Jamie, could you post links to the threads you started criticizing republican misdeeds? I've tried the search function but haven't found anything.

Nothing makes me sleepier than the sound of my alarm clock.

I thought that this was about lumberjacks. I thought it would make for a good argument but all I'm seeing is contradiction and abuse.

I've had a couple of cedar masts, the one I built was oversized and not overly stressed. The others were on a boat I purchased that has been well tested (unstayed) but the masts were fiberglass...

With the increased octane rating better power and efficiency could be achieved if the compressiion is bumped up to take advantage of it. I don't know if the LEHRs did this but the conversions usually...

Roger, got it or rather Cathy did. I found a little info on the bridge openings from a former Franklin resident. The 3 bridges on the bayou are operated by local residents who rotate the duty. The...

I really like that AWOL but I can't agree with the idea the the CS is unsuitable for higher winds. I've sailed several of the Tx 200 events where 30+ winds are common. There are usually a couple of...

I'm a Texan and I think that what he did was disgusting and that he should lose his job at the very least.

We plan on being there, provided we can find our way through the bridges and we've been talking it up to everyone we know

Okay fella I forgot the smiley - just a little ribbing. I wouldn't let my friends off near so easy if I saw them in that get up.

Pink britches, shark tooth necklace and wrapped around a ladyboy - three strikes and you are outed.

It"s always harder to go see the MIL than it is to leave. Your gas mileage just reflects this, wind has nothing to do with it.

They had air superiority and biological weapons* how could they lose?

Does "not in cia custody" mean that the info sources weren't tortured or that the information we used wasn't gained through torture? I'm not gonna give a pass to farmed out interrogation. If they...

Hi Roger,

Cathy and I would love to bring our 25 Atkin ketch and Welsford Sherpa. What info can you give as to water access. We need 5 feet below the water and 27 feet above. Active captain shows...

Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton

That was beautiful and amazing, and just a hint of what Texas is.

As the launch of our little ketch, Plover, becomes a little less theoretical we have begun to think about where we should name as our home port. We are too small to be documented so I guess we...

I grew my hair out a few times when I was younger, got it caught in enough stuff to finally break me of the habit. There are a few grey hairs that can pull off the long hair/ pony tail thing but...

Take a look at Jim Michalak's Caprice, it isn't drawn with a pilot house but one can easily be added, I know that at least one has been built this way. We've sailed her in the Texas 200 as well as...

In truth it is, bottoms are sand and mud and rarely more than ten feet deep but there's no seeing your anchor I wasn't kidding about six inches being as far as you can see.

Last things first: epoxy and fiberglass are different things. Epoxy is a resin that is used to wet out the fiberglass, it's also used as a adhesive, fairing compound, sealer and etc... The fiberglass...

Where I sail the anchor disappears about 6 inches below the surface of the water.

I saw, a docu/ study some years back and the stoners with a light buzz out performed the sober test group. heavy use reversed the results.

Manly yes but I like it too!
