You still in the hunt? I'll be up Island in a couple weeks and in close proximity to some potential sources.

I would go directly to Offshore in San Diego with that question. Offshore Yachts - Sales Their dealers are solid and if not Luke Brown, then Offshore West would be a decent source.

Oh Bruce. Bruce, Bruce, Bruce. This whole thing has become quite humorous and way too serious. But it is fun to play wit you and omc. Gad I hope the optical urologist line wasn’t wasted on everyone. If so I might as well pack my puns and promptly paddle a punt to Peru. As for Mr.Hays, I have...

I know.

"Don't worry about me."

Oh boy... My God man, don't take a single Aspirin, just jamb a needle of an unknown dosage of something or other into your thigh.

I wondered about that as this trip could have been done over 30 or more hours, with a layover in Hong Kong, Singapore or Soule. Right or wrong thinking, I just wanted to get it over with, so 12 hrs nonstop. I do as well, as far as doing it right and being properly fitted. I am very familiar...

:thumb::thumb: What we all need be aware of is nature; how we have messed with it and the food chain. Predictability is out the window. Out here. we are experiencing unnatural and aggressive behavior among bears, cougars, coyotes; all creatures that we used to live with quite safely, from...

Peter, with respect, I originally asked for tips to “combat jet lag.” I didn’t say it was the only concern I had, let alone the major one. The topic of DVT arose from a vague comment about “elastic type socks.” Your comment to be fitted with some anti-DVT stockettes by someone who knows...

Here's a Nurse inside the Grotto that I didn't see until after I jumped through the hole in the roof.

Sharks in abaco....are they anything to worry about? - Abaco Forum

Congratulations on a good berthing. Over the next week, Sidney is going to have the nicest weather anywhere near you. C'mon over.

Thanks Brian. I am normally an easy to sleep guy and think leaving at 2am and arriving at 5am should work in my favour. I have a bunch of movies that will probably help me sleep. Got a blindfold and plugs too. I'll be busy when I get there and it will be 30 degrees so I'll need some decent sleep...

I was thinking of that. I put in a lot of nights and even double shifts in the steam plant in Powell River. Noisier than a jet and we even learned to sleep standing up. No time zones though. I got decent seats and might even do better when they unblock a bunch. 747-400. There were 787s with...

I believe one has to be predisposed to DVT for it to be an issue. Also seems like use of flight socks has been pretty much debunked. Since they need to flex to force the blood back up the legs, that only occurs during exercise. Walking and in seat exercises are key. As is hydration. I've been...

Thanks Peter, all good points and while business class would be nice, I have at least moved up 1 notch from economy. I've been getting lots of conflicting advice as far as drugs, food and drink, particularly in the days before. Thought maybe with a lot of long haulers here I might get at...

I’ve never done more than 8 hours nonstop so, I’d appreciate some tips on before, during and after flight to combat jet lag. 12 hours trans Pacific. If it matters, depart Vancouver 0200 local, arrive Taipei 0500 local, next day. 10 days on the ground. Depart Taipei 2300 local, arrive Vancouver...

Nothin' to do with speed. Rot gut wine and burritos, I tell ya.

Now you CAN call yourself a fisherman because that comment moves well beyond alternative facts to become a real WHOPPER. :banghead:

Goo Gal, gotta love it. The following just shows to go ya, for every individual who can back up this, another can back up that. No winners. Peter Ross, an ocean pollution expert with the Vancouver Aquarium, said parts of it will evaporate and other parts will remain as droplets in suspension...

Just a wee wild guess...Mitsubishi probably has fine money in their "operating" budget. You can bet the 10 buck an hour kid had a can tied to his arse though.

Nightsky; I know she was from Rupert but sometimes it’s a small coast so, I hope you had no relationship with Miss Cory. Jim; Thanks for the dispassionate voice of experience. Smarter people than us don’t have all the answers and in a (hypothetical) higher, high tide, that fuel could resemble...

Salmon farm. Not going to say much because there are clearly two commentaries coming out. I don't care about the pen fish as much as the wild. Herring spawn right now and that effects everything.

A little oil looks like a lot but the locals with oars in the water say it is more than what's being reported.

Ouaip. If it were a Hatteras poking it’s snout into a Califonian head, it would be something to write about but no sense to build a dossier over a nick in pulpit. Observe and report, which OP did.
