If only I could watch it  .


Like to see the new kid in action...Oshie and Mantha and Backy together should be a challenging line to play against.


Go Caps!

I must really be bored... that midnight express is lucky he didn't lose the electronics/engines








I used to think I wanted a formula 430ss, but now I want a midnight express 43... solstice

eheheh.. Halover Inlet videos are the best!    Fuck that place unless you -really- know what your doing and have at least a 25' center console.

size of the boat doesn't matter, especially when going through the wake of Nimitz class....

and that was calm seas

this bird is out at udvar hazy, last time I was there this story was not part of the display

Oh, it matters.. lol

Oh, it matters.. lol

size doesn't matter, it's the motion of the ocean that brings back costomers ..

fact o the day


the U.S. Navy uses more jet fuel than the U.S. Air Force does. It's not because of carrier operations either. The Arliegh Burkes, the DDG class shown above, each have 7 gas turbines in them, 4 for the twin screw propulsion and 3 for electrical generation. When they engage all 4 for propulsion and run it up to %110 "war power", they still can't keep up with the carries when they are at %110.

when I get up in the morning and there's that glass of whisky I poured last night still on the night stand, it doesn't make it to lunch time. That never happened before I started working from home, and has happened far more often this past year

I've been thinking about that fishing barge hotel. I really am curious where you anchor that thing. I think I'd talk to the Bahamas and put it over there by Cat Key, which would put it close to Miami/ft lauderdale.

After some research, apparently it was anchored 15 miles off of Clearwater at the middle grounds and the previous owners had plans to move it around the gulf. Putting it in international waters lets you legally gamble on it, though that's less of an issue these days with just about every state legalizing it to some extent. I think gambling is legal in the Bahamas too.


That thing intrigues me. But not at $3.5M as I'm sure it needs at least half that to bring it back to its former glory.

Yea, gambling may be a draw! As I was saying before, the only "fishing" benefit (imo) would be to have it HOURS offshore.. Anything within 50 miles of shore is just a quick boat ride to, at a fraction of the cost. If you could have it anchored 100+ miles out in the gulf, minutes from prime sport fishing, then you may be on to something. It'd need an elite/exclusive (ie: very rich) clientele to sustain it though. Need to heli out and stay for the week(end).

that's why I was thinking Cat Key, and making it a 3 star instead of 5. It would give a overnight destination for all those $1.3M center consoles that don't fish a place to go out and party for the weekend. The previous buisiness model, high end offshore fishing, obviously didn't work.

[Mickstix]

Wonder what the rent would be to anchor it out there? Be something different I guess.. Have to set it up to moor a bunch of expensive boats though.. You'd be in competition with the Bimini Sands..
