Why do roaches always die on their back?

That because the survivors flip them over to steal their sneakers and wallets.

No advice to offer on the boat but sounds like a great project. I adore anything blue-water-oriented but can only scuba off the sides...


Mornin all!  Love hearing the DIMBY stories and seeing the pics! Sounds like it was an awesome adventure!

What is "cheapish"?

Definition of Boat:  A hole in the water to which one pours money.

And I am out.
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Ning all.  [coffee]

Flurry of Duc activity after I got back from NH... removed sidecovers, re-routed the wiring to get rid of the zip ties on the frame, cut the airbox, and the new rear tire will be put on today.  [evil]

Morning Peeps!  Glad  y'all have my future figured out.  I have worked at 2 coffee shops in my life.  That is how I started drinking coffee.  I was a  Dr Pepper girl up to then.

I saw on CNN online that Seattle has the most coffee shops per 100,000 people.  I have over 10 coffee shops in a 2 block radius, add all the places that sell coffee in the same area an it is over 30.

cheap to live aboard: yes
bluewater capable:  er...I wouldn't go with you but I guess it depends on your level of "great adventure"

they were not built for offshore work.

Chris - do you have your captain's license or is your boat more of a non-open water day toy?

My neighbors growing up retired and bought a 52' cat built in south africa.

Prior to this, he took all sorts of classes and got his US Coast Guard certificate or whatever it is called.

He actually sailed the thing back to FL with a friend and a rep of the manufacturer (can't recall who built the boat). Needless to say, they got caught in some nasty ass weather to the point where they had to deploy the parachute type device that drags behind you to keep you from rolling over in the water. I am sure this gadget has a name and my description is as worthless as it comes.


All I know is it turned into a giant sinking money pit, kind of like a rockstar type Motorcoach.
