news ![]() What got Bob's goat was that it was in the middle of the channel where there should have been plenty of water and the depth sounder didn't give us any warning. No one is more paranoid about depth than he is. I drove an Endeavour 35 sloop out of the little basin at the yacht club in Daytona Beach, followed the bouys around into the ICW to starboard to get to the fuel dock at the marina next door. Right after I rounded up South in the center of the channel, the boat hooked "something" like it had just hooked a tree that nosed the old girl over and stopped her dead in her tracks like a jet landing on a carrier snagging the cables on deck. Florida is just terrible with a 6' keel hanging down. The keel of the Amel Sharki 41 dragged along the bottom of Lake Worth in the middle of the channel from one end to the other. Vary off course a little and it grounded long before getting near the bouy line. There aren't near enough inlets for them to escape to sea on..... Larry -- Democrats are raising taxes on oil companies by $16,000,000,000. Oil companies don't pay taxes, just like every other company. Consumers pay all taxes, corporate and individual. What's the price of a gallon of regular going to go to to pay $16B more? |
