I love the concept of the store, and a used Music store "Dirt Cheap
Music" is doing great in Atlanta. Whatever you do, you need to get a
new web page designer. It is so 90's. ;)

we'll all know I'm right.

The initial web page should be an attractive 'storefront' for the
site. Eisboch's is just that. The only change I'd make is to put a
little 'flutter' in the 'Open' flag.

I doubt Richard has problems getting people to talk to him. My guess is
that it is a hobby store and if it does a little business, that's good, too.

Harry had it right. More of a hobby. Or a fancy yard sale.
But, it keeps me off the streets.
Boat is under agreement again. New oil pans are being installed.
Buyer is from Canada. One of the conditions of sale is full fuel tanks when
he takes ownership.

Still thinking about what's next for a boat. I still have interest, but
things have changed and most of my boating will be by myself. Should
have kept the GB.

The other day a young kid (meaning about 17-18 yo) came in and wanted to
try out the Korg arranger.
I said sure and hooked him up to some studio monitors.

He spent an hour playing background music from video games using all the
"synth" voices.
After a while all I could mentally envision was Super Mario climbing walls
and jumping off cliffs. Started to drive me nuts. The kid could play
well, but an hour's worth of video game music isn't my cup of tea.

So, I finally got up, started shutting off the lights, took the "open" flag
in and told him, "Sorry, gotta close up shop." He left saying he'd be
back again. I left, drove down to a coffee shop, got a coffee to go and
went back to the music shop.

Welcome to the music store world. After all the dinkers leave, you can
take all your guitars and retune the low E back up from D.

Seems like some of the dudes always have to play some LimpBizkit,

The 36 is a popular model, lots of them around. Knowing what I do
about your likes and dislikes however, think you might be happier with a
twin engine 42 with Cat 3208s. Lots more power for when you want it,
much easier docking and a roomier boat.

http://tinyurl.com/nto8fp

3208's are non sleeved engines. Just putting that out there for the info.
Sometime it's not the hours but the care. Cat dealer can analise the oil
and give a report on wear.

It means that for most people hiring someone to deliver a boat, you are
qualified to crew for the USCG licensed Captain.

Although ... I've had past experience that indicates that a USCG license
doesn't necessarily mean the Captain is qualified.

If a licensed captain hires "Reggie" to crew, he'd also better hire
someone else to actually be the crew.

Way back in the stone age, when we lived in Jax, there was a fellow who
had retired as a port pilot who went into the boat delivery business.
*He* was qualified. I wouldn't trust "licensed captain" with a six pack
ticket to deliver an expensive boat.

Although ... I've had past experience that indicates that a USCG
license doesn't necessarily mean the Captain is qualified.

In theory no license at all is required for delivery work but in
practice owners and insurance companies usually expect a USCG Near
Coastal Master's ticket for people who will be running the boat.


I have a Georgia Drivers License, and past 4 courses with CG AUX, and
have meet people who have a Coastal Master License, does that count?

qualified to crew for the USCG licensed Captain.

Water under the bridge. But it still cost about $5k to get all the
fiberglass damage on the stern and bow fixed.

I knew about the stern. Didn't notice the damage to the bow until it was
hauled at the end of the season. ****ed me off. I was an amateur when I
took it to FL and I didn't put a scratch on it.
1000 ton licensed captain with all kinds of experience smashes into
everything apparently.

And then he has the balls to use me as a reference.

If I recall correctly he was used to running large, steel hulled crew
boats in the Gulf of Mexico. They handle a little differently and
take abuse well.

He looked like he knew horses though. :-)

If a licensed captain hires "Reggie" to crew, he'd also better hire
someone else to actually be the crew.

Way back in the stone age, when we lived in Jax, there was a fellow who
had retired as a port pilot who went into the boat delivery business. *He*
was qualified. I wouldn't trust "licensed captain" with a six pack ticket
to deliver an expensive boat.

Local Port Pilot hit the SF Bay bridge. So even licensed captains can be
idiots.

But not the ones Harry knows! He only associates with the best most
skilled harbor pilots available! Just ask him!
