Captains License and that was the hardest course I ever took. It's not just navigation, that is a small part and no electronics are allowed. It's all with a compass, paper and pencil. (and of course whatever you can write on your arm before the test) They give you questions like: "You are...

So yesterday some Jiboni from my marina was putting diesel fuel in his boat, but he accidentally put 12 gallons of it into the "rod holder hole" instead of the fuel tank. Oops! So it all went into his bilge and swirled around his engine. Instead of staying there and having someone pump it out...

Early this morning, before the sun even thought of coming up I walked through this cemetery that was built in 1803. I wanted to see if there was anyone I knew in there. :biggrin:

Diana, you need a wide mouth jar. Make a funnel out o a PVC screen or something like that. Glue gun it in. Make sure there is a hole in the end that is inside the jar. Put rocks or something over it as those shrimp won't come out in the open. They hunt from under rocks. Bait the thing and...

This morning on my beach walk I saw something I have never seen there before. No, Not Angelina Jolie. Two deer. We have deer all over the place and I counted 12 of them on my way to the beach, but I didn't think they could get down this loose sand hill that has 176 stairs on it. (The deer are...

Thanks. My book made another $500.00 which I will donate to the National MS Society in my wife's name. I will post the receipt from them when I get it which may be 2 months. :biggrin:

Check out the "moon" at sunrise. I thought it was the sun until I saw on the news that the moon was orange from fires in Texas thousands of miles away.

Yes, all of them here on this "mountain" are like that but the one to my beach is still fine. :D

This was a normal day as every day after you retire is cause for celebration and a party. :p This morning like most mornings I walked on the beach to watch the sunrise. Always beautiful I never walked this way before because this beach if a few hundred yards west of where I live so it was...

Before the sun went down it was very hot so I got this huge, 7' beach umbrella to put on the back of my boat for shade. I think everyone was jealous. As the show was in full swing I blasted "God Bless America" from my boat speakers as did some other boats and the small floating "barge"...

This morning after a day yesterday of 4 1/2 hours on the phone with my internet provider and my TV manufacturer Samsung I got "most" of my devices working. One Alexa is still argueing with me but I think she is coming around because she told me to come back later. :rolleyes: I had a little...

It was very foggy for my beach walk this morning. I made it to the steps but couldn't even tell where the sea began and the sand ended. I walked and walked and did find, as usual a stranded horseshoe crab with his tail sticking straight up. I didn't take a picture because I waste so much...

Just finished, kind of proud of this one.

Happy Fathers Day. Tonight my wife is taking us out on the boat for a dinner at a nice seaside restaurant. :)

I always help out my crab friends and have saved countless horseshoe crabs in this way. I know they have been here for millions of years before Nancy Pelosi was born but I think even if they had thumbs they would still do lousy on standard "true and false" tests. I mean, there is an entire...

#1,867 On my morning beach walk I noticed something at the surf. I thought it was two octopuses wrestling, but I was wrong and we don't get many octopus here on Long Island and if we do, they get along and don't fight. On closer inspection I noticed they were Horse shoe crabs. A common...

I got the cast off and now have a removable one so I don't have to wear it any more. :D I have to fix my boat as we got towed in last week. And I have two engines. :confused:

Unfortunately, I am slowly losing some of my corals. Due to this broken wrist with the full cast on it wyhich I cant get wet, some sponge isgrowing up the bases ofthe corals and I can't get in there to trim the stuff. That is normaly the maintenance I do like weekly. I really need to trim the...
