Re: self defense - are you trained

No, I've never been the subject of a robbery; as a retired police officer under LEOSA as long as I qualify annually, I can carry anywhere in the US and its territories ... and I do. That doesn't...

Re: self defense - are you trained

As a retired military officer and retired police officer I would say, yes, I'm trained ... including Special Forces, Ranger, SWAT, and EOD (Bomb Disposal). Age, while important, is not...

Re: Legal Stuff

You miss the forest for the trees.

The primary purpose/mission of the Coast Guard is (drum roll) to GUARD THE COAST. All other missions, while important, are secondary. Hence the laws were...

Re: Is there a caste system in sailing?

If you have to ask if there is a caste system ... you just don't get it! Sailors, merely by embracing the lifestyle, have set themselves apart. An obsession concerning social place ignores what is...

Re: Completely Overwhelmed

I've read most of your responses and a lot of the advice given here ... I don't think you're ready to pull the plug ... too many issues and a lack of decision-making. I must admit that, as a retired...

Re: Any Other SCUBA Divers on the Forum?

Re: From Annapolis to Jacksonville

I did it last year right after Thanksgiving on a Hunter 42CC, going down the Chesapeake and then the ICW. Stayed in marinas every night because of the cold. Wouldn't wait too long after...
