I'm surprised. Of all the airlines, Delta, in my experience does a great job of making things right when the inevitable cock ups happen. In fact 8 years ago today I was on my way to Key West on...

Well not really. The person I sold her to put her in many lighted boat parades. The problem is, over the 3 years the last person owned her, they never bothered to take the lights down.

The young man I sold her to really loved her, he even took his honeymoon on her. Unfortunately, his wife's interests turned to motorcycles and he gave her away maybe 4 years ago. Her end began then....

It might lead to heartache. I owned Enterprise, a 1966 Egg Harbor 37 for 23 years. Saved from a dumpster and repowered with Detroit

Thanks folks and Spinner....I'm sorry, I should have known. I still smile when I see your knife displayed in the kitchen. Life pretty much sucks anymore and I wish we could take the Bilge back 10...

I haven't been active for some time but I do look in from time to time. For the first time in 20 years or so, Spinner didn't start a birthday thread. I guess that makes it official. Be well all.

Not morbidly obese. Not skinny either. Worst flying experience of my life for comfort and several other reasons. My employer tried to send me again, I refused. Rebooked on Delta...happy traveler.

Thank you for reminding me why I avoid the forum these days. Even a thread about hot 60's women has to have Trump's name dredged up. Pathetic.

Bottom feeders like Spirit are already pushing the limit on just how small a space a human can occupy. Hard to believe people are willing to put up with that kind of discomfort just to save a buck.

True, even a person like me, a moderate became BROTM a couple times. We laughed and grieved together. We cared for each other. Rarely did things get nasty. Ultimately it wasn't the one sided politics...

Indeed. Fair winds my friend.

Your view is similar to mine BUT this cannot be done, you know the pesky old 1st amendment. As I mentioned in my earlier post, you would have to rely on media restraining itself which as long as "if...

Yes. Thank you. But the media, with it's "if it bleeds, it leads" mentality will never agree.

What? I don't like the way these tend to happen in clusters....the copycat effect.

What the Hell does race have to do with it?

Hee hee. Thanks for the laugh. Now I have to clean the iced tea off my monitor.

I'm sure I will get flamed for this. I wish media would show some restraint when these tragedies happen. Report it yes. Hours of continuous coverage? No. If someone considering killing themselves...

Just a bump. Hope you can come enjoy my girl!

Bumping up as the day is approaching quickly! If anyone is interested, I can give a private tour on Saturday. BTW, this is a very safe area of Baltimore.

She is actually in better shape than when she was a museum ship at Patriots Point. Breaking her up is the last thing we want to see happen! They have begun decommissioning the reactor with the...

I have posted about her before. I may be a bit biased but I believe she is one of the most beautiful merchant ships ever built. I'm honored to have access to her!

I hope your solar circumnavigation has been, and continues to be, a pleasant one. Thank you for all you do here.

This was a satire piece. Are you presenting it as fact?

They need to get their asses back to Seattle and loose the McDonnell Douglas way of doing business.

Who said anything like that?

Living as close to murdertown Baltimore as I do I see it every day....it is just that simple.

In a related matter, calling a 17-19 year old gang member killed defending drug turf a "child" is not right. And this is where a good portion of these "child" gun deaths come from.

She's still pretty cool and I can't believe I get to play with her! I'm a docent and president of the NS Savannah Association. My wife calls her "the other woman":d

Well, no. Ships this size and in fact Ever Forward herself have navigated this channel for years with no problems. It is regularly maintenance dredged to 50 feet. I often fish the exact spot she...

Yeah, that one surprised even me. Anyway, she picked up the boxes that were off loaded and departed for Norfolk this afternoon. I was aboard NS Savannah at the time and grabbed a couple shots.
...

She's out and has been moved to deeper water off Annapolis supposedly for a hull inspection. I believe they removed 505 containers.
