So, about some of that Baltimore looting, a question of note, and in the "let's not forget the bottom line" department...

Not a 1.5 million dollar boat...

A modest proposal (I'd be in favor of), the high cost of the food on your table, and that sound you're hearing just might be Teddy Roosevelt spinning like a top...

One thing I take comfort in is that once you've shed the docklines and headed off to some distant shore it's a whole different ball game because the sea is a great equalizer. It simply doesn't care if you're on a 1.5 million dollar boat or something like the Django 7.70.

Offhand the fact that the Django dries out makes me think the smaller cheaper boat is a whole lot hipper...


... and, maybe it's just me, but I think sailing one around the world (like this guy) would be a lot more fun as well.

Is this a happy camper or what?

A bit of interesting energy news, some sense being made, and if only government would get with the �no assholes, no bozos� program...

Some pretty cool contreplaqu�.

Not a bad time to buy a boat...

Krugman asks a question, not a bad thing at all, and stuff that needs to be said a lot more often these days...

The other day someone sent me a link to a Philippe H. Harl� designed Jeanneau Fantasia for sale at around $9K asking my opinion.

For those who don't remember the Fantasia...


It's a pretty nice boat and one of the shoal (2'6") draft models in nice shape for $9K is seriously worth considering.

Lots and lots of great deals on good boats these days.

Listening to the Beatles

A good deal on a boat...

Just to let you know we're all on the same page, the stupidity it burns, and reason #1057 why you should not be getting your news from FOX...

For readers in Maple Leaf Land there's a seriously good deal on a great boat you might want to take a look at.

Just saying...

Listening to some Jill Sobule covers

Embracing the suck, so much for the friendly skies, and something very much worth watching...

Yep we're back and checking out a seriously cool new design by Michael Schacht which is NOT a proa!

If this doesn't worry you you're not paying attention (or possibly just dumb as a bag of hammers), Moore Better World points out something seriously important, and it's National Novel Writing Month...

Boy, have I been looking for this for a long time...

Something that may be of interest...

This just might hurt gun sales, lots of BS on the Ebola front recently, and have you noticed how warm and caring a certain political party is getting lately...

I was a little surprised how much positive input I got from the post about the little cat from Eric Henseval... Obviously a niche folks are interested in.

As it happens, James Wharram has something new as well...


The Mana 24.

Seriously cool and well worth checking out.

Somewhat nervous making, an interview with Lucinda Williams, and a good point being made...

There's a lot to be said for plywood.

Seriously, this is kind of scary, then again so is this, and six scenarios that tell a story...

When was the last time you had a Holy Shit moment?

I think this just broke my irony meter,


 a good point, and about that so called recovery...

Where boats are concerned I have to admit I'm just a little bit jaded. It takes something pretty special to make me sit up and and go...

Holy Shit!

So, when a friend pointed me to a boat design over at Chesapeake Light Craft I expected to be interested but not excited.

Holy Shit!



A truly awesome minimal cruiser for one...


There's a lot more information and pictures over at Cheasapeake Light Craft so you might as well check it out.
