You know what Rob, thoses plastic ports screwed to the doors aft look
cheap as dirt. If I were you I'd find some nice small chrome ports and
replace them.

Those ports are glass and held in place aluminum fittings that match
the rest of the interior. They are well done, but purely cosmetic. I'll
take a close up pic for you.

Oh OK from the other pic it looks like thick plexi with 3 screws


Are your runway lights red? are they LED? are they that cheap ****
rope
light?

Yellow/amber LED's. One at the steps, 3 on the floor. More useful than
I expected.

And and if you sail at night the best to go below to take a wizz and
not totally blow your night vision, I would switch to red.


Do you ever helm the boat? Where is Little thom? Bet he'd like to
sail
8 kts.


When this guy is at the helm I watch, ask questions and learn.

Thats a good thing, what did you ask, and what did you learn?

For a while i worked as first mate for a Capt who was in the Navy
Reserve with the rank of Captain. All he did was train officers how to
handle ships. I got to go with him to Norfork and un-offically attend
his course (you had to be Navy to attend and get credit). Way back then
they had mini ships, that acted, and re-acted just like full scale
ships, I think it was a 1/20th scale. It was a blast.

The same school is going but it's all computers.
