Re: ALL IS LOST: The Movie

That's really quite common. Read a few accounts of airplane crash survivors and you'll find stories of people who are unhurt or have only minor injuries when the plane comes to a stop, but just sit...

Re: Shy Cruising or don't invite me to the Potluck :)

Exactly. I'll strike up conversations with random people as well. That in no way makes me an extravert and especially doesn't make me someone who likes crowds of people I don't know.

Re: Shy Cruising or don't invite me to the Potluck :)

I've skimmed through most of this thread, and would like to add a couple of thoughts:

First, being introverted isn't a disease or condition that needs to be cured, it's not the same thing as...

Re: New Web Site

I really wouldn't worry about it much. The scrolling isn't really a big issue.

The map is definitely a great feature. That's worth repeating.

Anything interactive is usually a plus, so long...

Re: ALL IS LOST: The Movie

There's an awful lot of truth in that.

Many years ago I was out sailing on a < 20' dingy with a friend. She had spent easily several hundred hours in this boat. One afternoon we capsized. She...

Re: The $100,000 80hp outboard

This new green technology stuff is amazing. The next thing you know, we'll be using wind to power our boats.

Re: Important things we don't talk about much

RE: Beer

Saw some good advice on facebook the other day. To paraphrase: Don't eat or drink anything that has a TV commercial.

I've had decent beer all over the country. I ask what dark beers...

I haven't read all 27 pages of posts on this thread, so my apologies if this has already been beaten to death.

Re: Make Money While Cruising - List

Here's my last point on this:

Be careful taking up as an occupation something you do for fun. Years ago, I was an avid hobbyist photographer. Following the "do something you love" theory, I went...

Re: Finding a new lover

I'm wondering what this thread would look like if she were chatting with some non-boating friends. I'll just speculate about some details:

I've been seeing this guy for a couple of years and he...

Re: What to look out for when crewing on someones yacht over blue seas??

I haven't a clue if this guy or his boat are ready, but I'll throw in my two cents anyway. You're asking people here if they think he's ready and if this will work. To me, the fact that you're asking...

Why? On the principle of the thing? How many hours and dollars were wasted on this because the guy had a few drinks he shouldn't have while waiting to be cleared by customs. It's ridiculous.

True, but some of it only applies to dinghy sailing. I've been aboard with a few dinghy sailors that are afraid to let keelboats heel over. On the other hand, I've also been aboard with a few...

That sounds suspiciously like cold war propaganda. I'd have to see credible references for it before I'd believe it. The Russion navy is a child of most of the same seafaring traditions as the rest...

Thanks for the heads up. Most of the other places I looked into accepted few, if any, liveaboards, and typically they were limited to singles or couples with no kids.

My instructor gave me this one in flight school. It works just as well for nav lights on boats:
