I was just out shaping another surfboard and dropped a sandbag on my foot. Thought would grab some lunch and peruse the old CF while the pain subsided.

Re: Man Overboard with Auto Pilot Engaged!

Aw, I was just being snippy. Some times this place just reeks of hopelessness, turmoil, stupidity and crusty old live aboards long past dreaming.

Re: Man Overboard with Auto Pilot Engaged!

I posted a video of us tow surfing. We ROUTINELY grab the line and get pulled through the water doing WELL above 15 knots. In rescue or 'get me the f*&k out of here'...

Re: Man Overboard with Auto Pilot Engaged!

Sorry kids, I forgot how old and infirm it seems of CF is when it comes to doing anything physical.

Re: Man Overboard with Auto Pilot Engaged!

I doubt this will find any agreement but...when out singlehanded, I trail a line 250 feet out with a float at the end. I first started doing this on a little boat way back when (much shorter line)....

Re: Bad Bad Day

In 'Murica, a breakwater is parallel or close to it along the natural shoreline, positioned to block wave action.
A jetty or groin if you will, is to help stop erosion or keep in place a man made...

President Obama did an AMA and had missed spelling a word correctly. So, when I see an error, I point it out in jest, using that line. A very inside joke perhaps.

Re: Selling it all for a bluewater boat - Advice requested :)

I hate to say it but if after 14 months you haven't found a boat...you probably won't.
