    EV discussion - hate or love?

    We picked up this hybrid Volvo May 31. This screen shot is the current gas range. We haven’t put gas in this car since picking it up. The EV range is low currently cause we plugged it in late yesterday. Her commute is roughly 34 miles round trip. So a full charge gets her there and back. Based...

    Downloaded some of the drone footage I took. One of the coolest moorings was Warderick Wells. We had nurse sharks constantly swimming by looking for hand outs and scraps. There was a pretty wicked current in this mooring field. If you jumped in you'd better have fins on or be ready to swim...

    Not much care involved. It did cause the main halyard to curl around the upper shroud attachment point one time which meant we spent around 30 minutes trying to unloop it off, so I wouldn't recommend it!!

    Spent the day at Staniel. Then sailed to Iguana Beach. @zipper you’d be proud. I tacked through the cut and sailed right to anchorage. We rented tanks at Staniel and dove the Thunderball grotto. The sailing has been tough with winds out of the South.

    Here come the hybrids

    The Volvo XC90 we just got has a charging cord that is either 110 or 240. I currently have it plugged into the 110 outlet in the garage the problem is the cord is not long enough. I bought a short 15' extension cord that is 10/3 so it's a very large gauge. All the manuals say don't use an...

    32% Nitrox is a great hangover helper. When I surface I keep the reg in my mouth until I'm seated in the boat. I suck on the Nitrox and use every bit of it while surfaced for that extra hit of O2!!!

    We head out Friday for Nassau and have now upgraded to a 46' Lagoon since we added 1 more to the crew. So there are 6 of us total, 5 of us scuba dive. Attached is a rough itinerary. After reviewing with the other captain and reading a cruisers forum I think we may have a much more aggressive...

    Do you have to pay a toll or fee to go through the locks? If so what does it cost?

    EV discussion - hate or love?

    Picking up our new Volvo XC 90 T8 tomorrow which is a modified Hybrid. I'm curious to see how this works. My wife's new corporate HQ they are moving into in Q3 is supposed to have 450 charging stations in the parking garage. From what I have read the XC 90 will get around 36 miles on battery...

    This one cracked me up because I am now a Grandpa and both the kids are athletes, so I know I've got about 4-5 years before weekend soccer games (huddle ball) will start to disrupt my golf game!

    Yeah….and we could take your keys away and give you a set of oars to row that freakin FSH around too. I’m 52 and embrace the shit out of technology. My only traffic incident was rear ending another car while looking at a Mapsco.
