A letter of note, just another maga guy, and in the “not dead yet” department… I keep waffling on how I’m going to do our dodger on the Islander. No matter what I come up with, nothing seems to make me happy. On the other hand, I’m in no hurry to build a new dodger …
The word for today is kakistocracy, a book you might want to check out, and in the “You have to admit he’s making a good point” department… Energy budgets are just like monetary ones and a lot of good advice can be found in David Copperfield. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen, nineteen and six, …
Something about the cost of milk in Alaska, EBM with a good point, and an article that made me think today… Yesterday, I came across someone selling a used Sea Cook stove for $575. Considering that the Sea Cook marine stove is just a gimbal with a crappy single burner (the burners rust out) and …
Rug pull scams, an Atlantic crossing of note, and some important situational awareness from EBM… I was not unaware that West Marine has a BOGO offer on winches. The fact is that I already have enough winches so not all that interested. It is a very good deal though if you need winches. I will, …

Some needful situational awareness, EBM groks why I won’t be flying anytime soon, and a very simple explanation… So, its come to my attention, that Dave Z has a new design that I really like.
