A needful read, regarding AI/audio books, and the stupid, it burns… I’ve never been a fan of the Hydrovane self-steering gear as I feel they are overly expensive and prefer trim tab auxiliary rudder systems. That said, this guy seems to have built a hydrovane type gear for somewhere around $50. Which, judging from the …
EBM with a couple of good points, stupid stuff, and in the “I have a real bad feeling about this” department… Yeah, gettin’ by on gettin’ by is my stock-in-tradeLiving it day-to-day, picking up the pieces wherever they fallJust lettin’ it roll, lettin’ the high times carry the lowJust living my life easy come, easy …
Krugman making sense, EBM telling it like it is, and a movie I need to see… Every day I get an email from Defender with their, so-called, best deals. The thing is that they are seldom deals at all and a couple of minutes with your search engine will often result in the same product …
Some banned words, defrauding charities, and in the “One can hope” department… What with the Felon’s tariffs about to ruin just about everyone’s budget, I thought some frugality advice to save money would not go amiss. Obviously just a cheat list if you will. There will be a lot more with more details and examples …

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, …
DEI insanity, Fran on the subject of pennies, and in the “keeping an eye on bird flu” department… My galley foot pump either needs a rebuild or replacing. On one hand, it’s a Whale pump so it’s easy to get a rebuild kit but the cost of said kit is as much as a Chinese …
A needful read, an important question, and in the “really, I mean Really?“ department… I’ve been considering adding a couple of cheek blocks to my masthead on the Islander. As I mentioned the other day, I’m partial to Garhauer gear. Anyway, I was thinking along the lines of this cheek block… Now, while I’m not …
EBM with a $400 million dollar self deal, hurtling becomes a scary word, and in the “It’s not just eggs” department… So, as it happens, I need a bunch of stainless screws, bolts and nuts. Hey, I live on a boat and I always seem to need a bunch of stainless screws, bolts, and nuts …
