El Jefe's fuel dock 4/23/09 $1.60 for diesel

As a reminder, please don't hesitate to email us at any time.* We try to keep an eye on things, and Baker probably watches a lot closer.* But, sometimes we miss stuff. Sorry!

"am not impressed with Steve D'Antonios 20 years of experience" I guess I have over 52 years experience.* Hell, I've been messing around with things that float ever since my mom threw a bar of Ivory into my bath water at the age of -1!* That still doesn't mean I know sh*t about boats. That's...

Thanks for the suggestions onthe OTDE section.* Since all good taverns have a "back room" for gambling and such, I think that this site should retain the OTDE forum.* Maybe the entrance should not be so close to the front door. Well folks, what do 'ya think?

Thanks for the pics, Forklift!* Give us a little more lead time next year.* I may want to take a trip over there.

Post some pics if you are going to be there!

FF commented: "Because it saves time by allowing one to skip posts that are of no interest." This was the primary reason John and I started this forum.* We had both been on "the list" and hated it because you were flooded with a lot of stuff that we really didn't care to read.* You have the...

This was posted by someone who knows the owner of "The Last Willard 30 on Clear Lake?".* It was posted on the Willard Boat Owners on Yahoo Groups: Hello All, That Nomad which sank at Watergate in Clear Lake Tx is Excelsior. She was pretty tired and neglected before the dunking. I have an email...

OFB, I'm not sure if it's the weight of the sailboat or water in her stern.* The whole scene was just too much for me to take.* Sensory overload, almost surreal. I talked to someone that told me a story about a guy that was on a boat at Watergate (the same marina) the night of the storm.* He...

This pic was taken by Elmore in Watergate after the storm.* It is unknown what the ultimate fate of this vessel will be.* Restoration or recycled?

Forklift would like to see Forum by Make reduced to just Trawlers and Others. What do you think?

Everybody has their idea of a perfect format.* It's tough to please everyone.* We are trying to make an alternative to a digest that you must scroll through to get to what you really want to read about.* For instance-I have not read the "Humor" thread in "Off The Deep End"-EVER!* That's the...

After Ike, is it still a go?

Vinny, great point.* Look at the dock cleat that I found attached to a friends mid-ship deck cleat. I think that this particular floating dock was installed nearly 20 years ago.* You can see that there is almost nothing left of the galvanized bolt.* When the cleat was in place it looked very...

Sunchaser, this site is totally funded by Baker and myself.* What do you expect for free! Hint:* I use Google Toolbar Spell Checker.* It's free, as well as many others. Happy Trawlering!

Walt, thank you very much for your thoughts.* I am unaware of any members of this forum that had any significant damage in Hurricane Ike.* Brent, John, Troy, Keith, Jim, Ron, myself; we all came out just fine.* Maybe it's the difference in "engaged boater" vs. "disengaged boater".* Maybe luck...

This is no lie, I actually saw a guy come into Waterford Harbor in a small sport fish to dock there for the storm.* After he tied up he proceeded to install all of his Ising glass.* It survived! However, it did probably keep all of the tiles that blew off of my roof from damaging his...

I saw many boats that were damaged beyond repair, at least for what they were worth.* I'm sure it is in the hundreds.* Some marinas were almost untouched.* Legend Point and Waterford Harbor are two that I saw with very little boat/dock damage. I spoke with an employee in the office at Watergate...

Re: Huricane ike damage report! I have not seen South Shore Harbor, yet.* "The Palms" apartments next door has power.* We are resting on Boomarang with the old Kohler 4kw keeping us cool. I will be posting a link to more pictures later.* Too many to put here. DD

Re: Huricane ike damage report! More pics.....

Re: Huricane ike damage report! Lots of damage, floating docks win by a landside!

Re: Huricane ike damage report! BTW, it looks like Waterford Harbour Marina got about 11 feet of surge.* I hope to get a more acurate measurement later today. They predicted 12 - 18, I think. I know, you guys in the Pacific NW are saying "11 feet, so what".* We usually only deal with about...

We just were able to retrieve Boomarang from Portofino Marina last night.* What a mess!* There are 2 fuel storage tanks (maybe 1000 gals? and bubbling red diesel), an 18 wheeler box trailer, a couple of new boats that weren't there before, and bits and pieces of stuctures (maybe Maribelle's?).*...

Marin, There are many plug-ins that will spell check in Internet Explorer 7.* I use Google's tool bar to check mine. DD
