Re: Endeavour 40 Newly Refit including New Beta Engine!

She's a beautiful boat, AZ Parothead.

Wish I were in a position to go forward, but I'm sure she'll be a lovely new boat for the right person. Hope you find her new owner soon!

Re: Appendicitis while offshore? New study shows that you might not need surgery

An IO is reasonably simple to teach, but infusing large volumes of fluid quickly through it is more problematic and difficult than using an IV or even SubQ. It's also considerably more painful,...
