Surfing the web last night I ran across this news story. The bullet being a boat exploded in the Bahamas in late June. One lady was killed while on her 15th anniversary and many others, mostly tourist were injured. One is a 22 year old woman from the U.S. who lost both her legs in the accident. The cause is unknown at this time but served as a good reminder for me to always vent the engine compartment before starting the boat after days or weeks of non use.

Yes, I saw the story on last nights late news. She is a student at Castleton State University in Vermont. My niece graduated from there two years ago. Terrible tragedy. Be alert out there people, dont get distracted by the festivities.

I am always sad to hear about accidents on the water especially since I enjoy boating so much. Not sure how this happens however my experience tells me most boaters do not know or understand the rule of the road. I have a rowing skiff which is similar to a shell except more stable. I am often amazed on how many boats come up on me without beeping their horn to let me know they are there or try to squeeze under a bridge just before I enter. They must think I have eyes in the back of my head like our children did.[flag]

Not sure if you meant lifting the engine cover however I would strongly recommend using the blower each time before starting the engines[flag]

What ya think of that gum pole
Didn't see it, or didn't know I was looking at it. Nice park though and we enjoyed our time there.

I know what the mother robin is going through. Our 14 year old Grandson is staying with us for the summer. He has a hollow and I mean hollow leg. :)[flag]
My 14 year old son is as tall as me (5' 10-1/2"), skinny as a rail, and eating ALL the time.

The worst part is, he's fussy. So trying to use him as a Human Garbage Disposal like my buddy did with his son doesn't work.

Out on the deck enjoying the cool weather this morning, before it hits 95° again, designing a bow anchor roller to fit the new stem head fitting on the Beneteau, seen on the table. They dont exist...yet. Going to have pieces of 1/4" SS plate cut and welded together. Found a source for delrin rollers. I will drill all the holes for the rollers and mounting to the bow. This, if it works as designed, will keep the 22# delta anchor away from the gelcoat.

Made it to Pensacola for the Blue Angels practice. Clouds cleared up and they switched to the high altitude show.
