Re: Why Do We Make It So Hard Sounding

I had the same thought when reading the original post. It is quite simple to make the boat go, make it stop, and make it stay...Same as an airplane. It's not difficult to take off, fly, and land. ...

Re: Bernoulli is the Common Denominator....How Many of You Also Fly?

I'll bet that 206 on floats has really opened up some new flying opportunities! I have a Ciruus now, but only because it makes me more efficient for work. I really want a taildragger on big tires...

Re: Bernoulli is the Common Denominator....How Many of You Also Fly?

One of my dreams is to build a Super STOL or something like it. That Super Duty looks like tons of fun. What kind of powerplant are you going with? Keep us posted on that cat project for sure. ...

Re: Bernoulli is the Common Denominator....How Many of You Also Fly?

Yes, I was just chatting with a pilot friend of mine yesterday about organizing a SCUBA trip. I did my open water certification at 14, which was a few years ago. :biggrin: I think the common theme...

Bernoulli is the Common Denominator....How Many of You Also Fly?

It seems that the more I sail, the more pilots I meet, and the more I fly, the more sailors I meet. We recently had some calm weather that was no good for sailing, so took to the sky to check one...

Re: What happened to the "small" "Affordable" cruisers?

I have one of the small, affordable cruisers. �� It was cheap, in great shape, and we have had a blast with it. We would really like a cat one day, and probably will make the change in the next...

Re: Quarantine on listing houseboat > owner: "could sink"

From the owners response of "the hull", I'm going to assume it's a displacement mono hull. If that's the case, the water that you see in the aft bilge is the water that is supposed to be on the...

Re: Jumping in head first

Sounds like a good plan. Barnakiel raised a great point with the dinghy sailing. We keep a big dinghy/small boat at home for daysailing, and it will certainly keep you humble while making you a...

Hey Josh! You will find some great advice around here, and plenty who will tell you it's impossible. It's been my experience that you will get plenty of offers to "c'mon down and go for a sail...

You mean to tell me that there is something to this herd immunity business, AND all the data used to sell a global lockdown was false? Who woulda thunk it? I sure am glad that I caught The Rona...

I'm assuming that SV Seeker is planning on floating down the Arkansas, but sure wouldn't swear to it.

Re: Why wouldn’t I just buy a 100% waterproof pvc raincoat?

X2 for Kaiwaka. I wear the Stormforce all winter on the fence line, and stay dry and toasty. The wrist gaskets are great for keeping your arms dry, and the seat flap that is made to keep your ass...

Re: Sailing Landlords

I had considered making a few of them horse friendly, and we are in the agricultural fence business....

Re: Sailing Landlords

We are still 100% residential, and 100% on time again this month. The majority of our units are one bedroom, and occupied by either retired folks, or section 8 tenants. We've maintained a 5-8%...
