Re: Lathe & Drill Press on a Boat?

Has been done before. I met a guy who even made all his money by making parts for other boaties. You probably need the right size generator too - and to raise your water line antifouling.

Re: off shore swimming

Of course you can. And even sharks will take a while to find you. So no worries for about 20 min. And remember, as long as your head is above the water level it doesn't matter how deep the water it...
