What? No good? :rofl::rofl::rofl:

We will take uber if it is available. We spent last weekend in East Greenwich, Rhode Island. We took the service to an awesome restaurant called The Shanty. They serve one of the best Bloody Mary's I have ever had. The Loaded Mary: belvedere vodka, shrimp, salami, cheddar, bacon...

From the Ouija board? :rofl: We affectionately refer to them as "The lying bastards at NOAA"

You could build something DIY with Arduino for far less than $100. You would need the GSM shield for the cell connection. I might have to put that on the project list for this winter. Sounds like a fun one. Here is the shield: Adafruit FONA 800 Shield - Voice/Data Cellular GSM for Arduino...

That also reminds me =) Here are a couple of pictures of the bimini. I was in a rush so they are not very good lol. I will get more detailed ones this weekend if its not a rain out. Stoopid Joaquin is trying to ruin one of the last weekends for us this season =(

Update: Apparently the needle bar will need to be replaced. Its under warranty so they offered to either have me ship the machine back and they will fix, or ship me the bar and I can replace it. I asked if they will be sending some general directions with it =) If they do, I think that is...

If you had my $$ you could only afford a 12" x 12" section of that stuff ;-) That nu-teak does look like a nice material Looking forward to watching the progress of this project! Keep the pics coming =)

Very cool. What will you be doing to refinish the decks?

For me it was 2 fold. Weather/Comfort: One Sunday afternoon last summer we were motoring home in a driving rain. I was soaked. I put my hood up and what seemed like a gallon of water poured out of the hood on to my head and down my back. A few mins later A GB42 crossed our bow. I could see...

Oops.. And WELCOME!

Same deal here, except I have a 31' Sailboat. =) Best of luck in your search! You will learn tons here and get excellent advice.

Hi All, Anyone have any advice on how to get a stuck needle out of the shaft? I broke a needle sewing some thick material and the shank must have got jammed up there (maybe I needed to tighten the screw more?) I tried to use some pliers to persuade the needle out and it snapped almost flush...

Appreciate the tips. I have picked up a ton of info here. Also paying attention to decks and windows. =) We are not in any rush, so the right boat will find us when she is ready.

Ooops. Forgot the 2 most important projects. 1. Sell Sailboat 2. Buy Trawler :D

Are you peeking through my window? lol. I was just working on my pre-haul, winter and spring lists. (all in onenote which is awesome btw). Going to make a new dodger, refinish a bunch of teak, change out the fresh water pump, relocate the stereo and a few other projects here p.s. its 80...

Thanks =) I definitely need more space if I ever tackle a project like that again. Feed and Out Feed were a bear. I could have never done it with out the admiral assisting. I really like the door with folding legs idea. I have a couple hanging around but they are the six panel type...

I really needed a Bimini on the sailboat, so last season I bought a cheap one on ebay. The hardware was decent but the material was craptastic. This spring I purchased a sailrite machine and used the crappy one as a template. I sewed the new one out of sunbrella and it came out pretty darn...

A very inconsiderate friend of my wife is getting married on Sunday. Just a couple day trips in Narragansett Bay for me. :banghead:

8 nights aboard coming right up! :dance:

HAHA.. That happened to me over the 4th of July trip. I was dreading coming home to the jungle that would be my lawn. I dropped a case of beer off in return =)

This is Jameson and The Bean

Interesting read. I clicked through the survey as well. Thanks for posting.

Anyone attending this event in Narragansett Bay this weekend? Fantastic people watching and our mooring is just far enough away from the madness lol

I use MS OneNote. I have a maintenance notebook with sections for spring, summer, fall and winter. I just use check lists. I also have other sections with part numbers, the yacht world ad (including all the specs),boats/friends and pretty much any measurement I take. OneNote has good...

LOL!! Fortunately I believe that the seacocks are frozen in the shut position ;-)
