Gas has been ~$3.60/gallon here (MD/DE). Sheetz, which is a new brand for the area, just opened a new location around the corner on Monday and everyone had to match opening day gas prices. The prices are still ~$3.25. Hope they keep it up for some time.

lol I should bring the AR192 down to miami and put it on a container to colombia. There is a nice marina and lake there.

edit: there was a member here that brought his down to Chile. To the colombia coast it would be a lot cheaper. Not sure how much hauling 12 hours to Guatape would be. My car there has "braked towing capacity 1300kg (2866lbs)"

How bad will you be taxed on the import?

Pretty good thunderstorm here in Pierre this morning….




A couple more….

We went down to Mass. again for a couple of days this week to start cleaning the hull that has been in the Atlantic for a couple of years as well as the Bahamas last Winter. She was pretty dirty above the waterline with that "Intracoastal brown smile". As well as barnacles to scrape off on the anti fouling below.



Willow washed her using Starbrite instant hull cleaner and I removed some of the boot stripes that were still on the hull with a heat gun. You can see the true color of the gelcoat once the stripe has been removed. Got some oxidized gelcoat to sand.
I must say, it is nice working the hull from the ground and not a ladder.

Parked next to a couple of other cats. A Broadblue 385 (unstepped mast) and a big Lagoon on the right. Not as much freeboard as the others.



Took the motors home to overwinter in the garage. As well as the helm seat that will be reupholstered.

Another “work in progress”.

One more…I love looking thru old ship’s maintenance logs, especially when they go back 30 years to 1993. A couple of pictures from the log.

This one from 2004, no mention in the USCG report I paid for, about this $20,000 insurance repair.



And this one with hours on the motors. Not the 2018’s we have now with 600+ hours.
Wow, 5000+.



This boat spent some time down around @Murf'n'surf ‘s turf.

Congratulations! Did you part with the Beneteau, or is it currently for sale?

Parting…still for sail (sale). Two parties looking. Not under contract yet. They better hurry, we haul out within two weeks.

 

[Dennis P]

Asking Price?, Do you have a description sheet or a link you can send me directly?

Last night the middle school band played in between quarters at the football game. My daughter was super excited.

As Captain Ron would say. It’s just a little squall, they come on you fast, and they leave you fast.

That’s a good size walleye for eating!

 

[Cleveland Steamer]

Wife said her brakes were making noises. No problem, I got this! It’ll take me under 2 hours to change some pads.

Yeah, right… 8 hours later, 4 trips to NAPA, stripped bolts, frozen calipers, bruised knuckles and a whole lotta suck I’m finally done!

I’m sure a skilled mechanic could have made easy work of this project. But I’m not a mechanic. I’m a self taught stubborn asshat who refuses to take my vehicles to a mechanic.

I use an impact to remove the rotor retaining bolt and anti seize it and lightly tighten it on install. Can’t say I’ve ever stripped one out though.
