A new boat is not a guarantee that you aren't going to have issues or breakdowns that you may be required to address yourself while underway. The Navigator and the Egg Harbor that I had were both brand new. Even though we spent a full summer cruising locally with no issues with the Navigator before heading for Florida in the fall, it experienced a couple of relatively minor problems during the trip south that didn't show up during the "shakedown" period. Becoming familiar with the systems on your boat and engines is very important because a warranty doesn't do you much good while cruising off shore or away from your friendly dealer. One issue with the Navigator that I discovered had to do with the high pressure fuel lines used on the Volvo diesels. I learned about it from a fellow boater that I met in a port we visited who also had the same engines and had received a notice from the manufacturer regarding the problem and the fix. It had to do with vibration in the high pressure fuel lines causing metal fatigue at one of the fittings. A failure of the fitting would cause a very messy situation with diesel fuel being sprayed all over the engine compartment. The fix was simple but I am glad I learned about it and had some tools to fix it myself. The other issues were not as serious, but again they needed to be addressed quickly and without the boat manufacturer or dealer's assistance. The Egg that I had (for only a couple of years) had a more expensive repair issue that showed up within a month of taking delivery. It had a cockpit cooler/freezer that was installed against the salon bulkhead. During manufacture Egg Harbor forgot to blow insulation between the freezer and the bulkhead. I noticed one day that the inside wall of the salon bulkhead and carpeting were wet due to being ice cold and condensing water vapor. Egg sent a tech up who fixed and insulated the freezer properly. The only other issues with that boat was a pre-heat system on one of the Cat diesels that kept tripping a breaker (fixed by Egg Harbor) and the Furuno chartplotter that kept locking up. The latter problem was due to the installer not properly grounding the equipment to the bonding system. It was an intermittent type problem that was difficult to diagnose. Point is, unlike a computer where you can simply call up an English speaking tech rep to solve a problem, there are occasions on a boat ... even a brand new one ... that you are going to have to dig in and get your hands dirty. |

Point is, unlike a computer where you can simply call up an English speaking tech rep to solve a problem, there are occasions on a boat ... even a brand new one ... that you are going to have to dig in and get your hands dirty. I hope you meant this for FOAD, and not me. He's the one who 'says' he has a new boat. He's the one attempting to put down someone for awaiting a generator part while relaxing on a beautiful beach in the Bahamas enjoying the scenery, the food, the fishing, and the atmosphere in general. But, I enjoyed the post anyway! |

You've got nothing of consequence to do all day long, all week long, all month long, so you have to find a zillion little hobbies to fill out your dance card. Golf, model airplanes, RV'ing, firearms, motorcycling, bluegrass festivals, guitars. What's next, line dancing? Personally, I think golf, airplanes, motorcycles, photography, RV'ing, firearms, Bluegrass festivals, guitars, et cetera, are preferable to sitting in a basement trying to impress people with what a spectacular person you are and how much spectacular stuff you own. I don't think you have anything of significance to do with your life, and you're bored, so you spend most of your time trying to keep busy with your hobbies. It's funny. My uncle, my dad's bro, worked hard most of his life, got his two daughters through college and married, and then he and his wife moved from a Massachusetts north shore town to Florida, near Boca. This was at 55-56. He discovered golf, and in the next 10 years, he became a par and sometimes better golfer, playing many days a week well into his 80's. He also liked to build electro-mechanical stuff, mostly strange toys for his grandkids, and to buy trashed out houses and totally refurb them. He didn't have to have a new hobby of the week to keep himself busy because he couldn't attain proficiency in the ones he chose. You're the jack of all hobbies and master of none. I would never expect to be as good as you or any of your relatives at anything. And you're right, unlike you I've not 'mastered' anything. You are the hero, FOAD! I'm smart and tenacious enough to work at a hobby until I attain proficiency at it, rather than brush it aside to try something else new. How's your guitar playing coming along? You any competition for Norman Blake: http://tinyurl.com/luw8oct He's the guy with the glasses. Or perhaps a more modern copycat: http://tinyurl.com/ktld6pa Honestly, FOAD, we know you're smarter, more tenacious, and more every other quality one could think of than anyone here. My gosh, you keep telling us!!! And no one can deny you've mastered your 'rancorous posting' hobby! I hope you got an achievement badge of some sort - like a Cub Scout award or something. |

It's intellectually challenging, in some cases it makes a difference for various groups of people, I get to meet and work with interesting people, it provides me with travel opportunities, I get to wear dress suits and ties ( :) ), et cetera. I'd go crazy trying to fill up my days and weeks with golf, model airplanes, stamp collecting, et cetera. I'm sure many of you find intellectual and psychic rewards in such pursuits, but I don't. I really enjoy what I do for a living. I guess you didn't. I enjoyed doing what I did, they just stopped doing it. Now I teach myself jobs other people do and work for myself. If you can't keep yourself amused without going to work, I guess you should keep working until you die. I don't do the work I do for amusement. I do it for the reasons stated in my first paragraph, above. I have a couple of hobbies, and other leisure activities, but that's what they are...leisure time activities, not my life. My wife, who is much busier with work than I am or want to be, occasionally takes a couple of days off between vacations, but after a couple of days, even with her hobbies, she is ready to go back to work helping people. Her dad, who recently turned 80, still works a couple of days a week as a consultant in his field, and he has a few leisure time hobbies, too. I have few old friends in the labor movement, well into their 80's, who are still actively working on union-related issues here and abroad. You are the perfect man, FOAD. Isn't there some racist Tea Party function you should be attending? When I could be learning how to better admire you? No way, Jose! |

If it is nice out tomorrow, I'll drop her off the Pit Bulls and take a ride. |
