    Boat Insurance in Florida

    Mine's with Markel via Al Golden at IMIS. I gave up named storm coverage which saved me around $900/year, because I'm in a well protected marina with floating piers. No damage at all during Ike. IMIS can give you good quotes and information from various companies, since they are independent...

    Foamy Water?

    Recently my water comes out foamy and smelling a bit like peppermint. The water pressure at the hose bib is 65 psi and my regulator drops it to 45 psi. This seemed to start when I put in a new water hose. It's the white potable water hose from West Marine. They recently increased the water...

    Moving from GAL to Mobile in Jan-Mar 2013

    Most of the locks you will encounter are just salt water barriers. If you hear a lockmaster say "hold her in the middle" you don't have to tie up, just hover and they will close the gate behind you and open the one in front of you. Locking in or out of the Mississippi is a serious lift/drop though.

    Moving from GAL to Mobile in Jan-Mar 2013

    Rain and wind. Cold fronts come through and you do NOT want to be out in that. Just watch the weather and don't get in a hurry and you'll be fine.

    American Diesel - (804) 435-3107. They have everything you need at reasonable prices, including a lot of expert free advice! The Ford Lehman was originally a tractor engine, so if you're in the super budget mode, you can check out a tractor place if you have one near you.

    Advertising

    You know, the sad thing is that dammed near every web site I go to, including this one has an ad for Emergency Response Team Software which I am truly interested in, and although I've clicked on it twice and entered my info, I've never heard back from them. What a waste on both ends.

    What Caulk to Use?

    I like Boatlife polysulfide for mounting stuff. Been around and used successfully since WWII. I still haven't found anything white that stands up well to UV. That 4000 UV turned to powder after a couple of years here on the Gulf Coast.

    See ya on the two, whose two?

    All towboat traffic switches to 16 from 13 west of Galveston in the ICW. Go ahead and argue that it's illegal, improper, etc. all you want, but that's how it's done, and the USCG hears it every day and participates as well.

    Flag etiquette

    I fly mine on my starboard spreader. I think I remember you're never supposed to fly two flags at the same position, although I've done it with my cocktail and beer flags. ;-)
