    Nope, not even close to doing it justice. Nice!

    Docking "aha!" moments

    I'm still docking by braille.

    Docking "aha!" moments

    That's my technique for pulling up to any but my home dock. That way I always have control of the lines.

    Oh, my! I wish a close friend would buy this boat. As much as I admire it, I sure wouldn't want to maintain it.

    How frequently do you drink when cruising...

    I'm sure everyone has heard some town make this claim: Annapolis - "A drinking town with a sailing problem." Yeah, pretty much true.

    What you need to earn to be considered Middle Class in each US state

    And Louisiana isn't looking too bad either! Damn hot and humid, but I can afford A/C. Plus, great food.

    Would you shoot one down for invading your privacy ?

    True. However, that does not invalidate my statement.

    Cold Galvanizing Compound

    I have no experience with the Rustoleum product, but the Petit stuff has worked very well for me on all the running gear for the past number of years.

    How frequently do you drink when cruising...

    Never when underway. Period. Almost always at the dock. I traditionally crack a cold one once we're tied up and shut down. If we docked with no resulting blood or insurance claims. So far, so good!

    Poll: Shoes or no shoes

    Shoes on if we're underway, docking, etc. Shoes off for hanging out at anchor or the dock. That's for me. Passengers can do as they please. You won't be able to notice any shoe scuff marks on old Moon Dance!

    Varnish or Cetol? Best way to fix teak rails?

    I love these teak threads. Eventually I'll see a solution that I like and I may actually get around to implementing it. I do have almost all my teak scrapped clean so I'm nearly ready to commit to a course of action. It seems there is almost universal agreement to start with CPES. After...

    What to do with a bag of NIKONS?

    e-bay. Somebody, somewhere wants those lenses.

    New Long Thin, Hyper-Efficient Trawler

    Well now, isn't that slick? Damn robots ... even ASW types are being replaced! :-)

    Would you shoot one down for invading your privacy ?

    That's one of the things driving the security folks crazy - how do you defend against a swarm of small, coordinated, kamikaze drones targeting a high value individual? ECM, I suppose. Vijay Kumar: Robots that fly ... and cooperate | Talk Video | TED.com

    Already happening! And drone racing, too. Google it. Us old guys are way behind the curve on this technology.

    They might be a little more tricky to shoot down than one would think.

    Restoring exterior teak rails

    I'd like to see the pics too. I've gotten most of the teak scraped clean and now need to decide the next steps. Being done with the project is what I want. If painting is the least labor and time consuming, longest lasting solution, that's where I'm headed. Like most others, I can...
