Little Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island

There is nothing whatsoever "missing" in any of these boats. Each was an idea which obviously worked in its own way. This one is quite sophisticated. I grew up with far less and thought I owned a...

I sailed for 60 years and I can only say, "It all depends...." Even a rank beginner can usually figure out how to get from point A to point B in a sailboat. It is the extremes that require skill --...

I use Dr. Bronner's natural liquid soap, available in health and natural foods stores, for salt water baths. It laters nicely in salt water and comes in various scents -- usually peppermint. A...

We use an old-fashioned notebook to keep our "real" log every day, but also publish an illustrated blog (The Saga of Sesame (https://camano130.blogspot.com/)) so that friends can keep up with us while...

re: 404 error

I was getting the same problem: Had the site for an instant and then it switched to 404 error. I noticed that my bookmark/favorites was posting a URL with some strange elements at the end. I typed...

We stayed at Gangplank for a week last spring. It is definitely an OLD marina, but well run by a friendly and knowledgable staff. A large liveaboard community. Good showers. Near everything. ...

Amphibious tank?

We saw this in Chesapeake Bay last year. Could barely see what was making all that spray and wake.

The Dismal Swamp Canal is scheduled to close...

The Dismal Swamp Canal is scheduled to close strictly because of lack of water in Lake Drummond which feeds the canal between the locks. It's a shame that Nature has put a jinx on it since it's the...

I'm afraid that I made a rather quick and flip reply above. I would never pump overboard in a closed harbor or anywhere near other boats. However, in deep tidal water I do not see a problem. One...

Sinking? or not?

My brother called in a panic from his new (used) boat as he was motorsailing down the coast of New Jersey. "There's water over the floorboards! What do I do?" I asked, "Is it fresh or salt water?" A...

Mega Dock -- NO!

The only thing worse than anchoring off the Charleston City Marina in any kind of blow is being on the face of the Megadock in a blow in a small (under 100') boat! Anywhere else, the marina offers...
