On the lakes, all deck officers are pilots. Separate test for each lake and river, captains must have masters license as well as pilotage.

But think how nice the logos will stay being out of the weather and sun….if anyone can still see.

You can pick where you go or when you will be there, but not both. To me, at least a few paper charts are indispensable to get a wide view of the area you want to travel. Being limited to a tiny little screen you miss a lot of surrounding opportunities off the beaten path.

Lots of rust on the engine

Will it drain due to gravity?

Fishermen are a pain, it’s shallow…..but I love it. It’s like a real life monopoly game. It’s not a fast trip, but interesting.

My biggest concern would be storage. Clothes for 3 or 4 seasons, dinghy, bikes, food. Once we hit town or dropped the hook we were normally off the boat most of the time, so living space would not be a big issue for me, to a degree. We liked the luxury of a couple weeks or more of food and...

Heard the cg over the vhf from Toledo beach, https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/coast-guard-pulls-body-out-of-the-cuyahoga-river/ar-AAOoEfw No I’d yet.

One little told story of heroes of the day are the captains and crews of the harbor tugs who transported thousands across the river from ground zero or nearby to New Jersey.

Could it be in upside down?

The price is based on the current conversion rate for currency

If you ever go through there again knot fast, run the Canadian side headed north, get outside the reds and you will pick up a eddy current all the way through the bridge , it starts below the casino, plenty of water nearly to shore, you can see the shallows, makes the trip much more enjoyable...

The sail boat was on the wrong side of the river and got caught in the eddy current that runs opposite the general flow of the river. It is handy when headed north but will bring a sailboat to a standstill until they get caught by the current and shoot across the river…which is why the...

We ended up with Chubb through marine underwriters, best by far last time around

I use a heat gun and a putty knife, then sand before applying varnish. Once you get the temp and time figured out, easy and quick.

How about washing clothes while underway?

For years Detroit had offered several injectors to detune or enhance an engine. Engine life is increased as the smaller injectors are used as a bonus.

How about a travel lift with straps removed and a sling used in their place? We often did this, works well.

Is it at your sling mark? Maybe they used a block to keep sling off rub rail and these plates protected the hull from the block. First thought was a ladder support pad but does not seem to be at an entry gate.

Regarding the ride, I delivered a 41 from Milwaukee to wheelers landing in bay city a few years ago, diesel, generator, may be the same boat, rode fine but never had more than 3 footers. Only complaint was around the dock as she has the long bow that likes to keep on swinging but most express...

I remember the days when you spent years honing skills in your area of interest, seems these days of the internet, folks figure they can become proficient at just about anything in a few months as long as they have WiFi! I just got back from bringing my current boat home to play with and met up...

I do, at least 6 months ago, seems like it was a little rough in spots back then.

More importantly, when did air draft become a thing. Clearance, bridge clearance or height seemed to work for generations.

I used Patrick Mahon last month. Did a great job and has a good pedigree. Teaches surveying at the wooden boat school in Maine but lives in your area most of the time. Patrick Mahon Marine Surveyor & Consultant | Patrick Mahon Marine Surveyor & Consultant. Highly recommended.

Happy with United marine underwriters, 742.00 for steel, 43 foot, 175,000.00 value, Great Lakes with 4 months layup. Chubb has the policy.
