In my semi-retirement I do USCG initial license and renewal physical examinations at our local...

    Boat Cards for the Great Loop

    New cars; ho hum

    Hi all, new ish member and new boat pics

    Lots of Winchester shotgun ammo at the head of the double berth, and maybe a Glock? in a case. Are you a sporting man? Ducks? Lots of guns down here on the Texas Gulf Coast. "Don't mess with Texas".

    Hi all, new ish member and new boat pics

    Looks like a swell project! Can't quite agree with Peter B. She has all the potential to be pretty. I my deteriorating old mind, almost all boats have the potential to be pretty. I am still sailing (48" custom catamaran), but increasingly looking at trawlers as I get older and more arthritic...

    Twin vs single
