We're having a problem with the hydraulic stabilizer system so I'm going to stop at a shipyard south of Savanna to see if they can work on it. We can run outside without stabilizers when it's calm like today but not so much when the wind's blowing. As an FYI, the Georgia coast, ICW and barrier islands are incredibly scenic. I have been on the road. I was on (Yuk) Del Prado today, going up to buy an oven for my country kitchen project on the lanai and I also got lucky and scored a piece of granite to replace that nasty quartz crap I put on the new bar top. Last time I looked you were just starting to make the turn to go inside north of St Catherines but I see you are up at the mouth of Kilkenny creek now. No BBQ for you I guess ;-) |

Nothing like one that was swimming a few minutes before it hits the pan. That's fresh fish. Mars is looking good this month. I think this is it's closest approach for a while. It is about the brightest thing in the southern sky but the color makes it unmistakable. |

You get a nice boost in speed, save quite a few miles, all of which saves a bunch of fuel. You're underway for two straight nights however and that gets tiring with just the two of us standing watches. As it turned out with our stabilizer issue, it's fortunate that we didn't do that anyway. Running the stream exposes you to some fairly gnarly sea conditions even in relatively calm weather. Port and starboard watches are always tough. We only had 2 duty sections on the smaller CG cutters but I was not standing deck watches. They pretty much left us cannon cockers alone. Later on the reserve cruises, everyone stood deck watches if they were not snipes so I got some of that 0000-0600 helm time. Three section is easier, you need another mate. |

I was having the same problem filling my missing "6". I am 1946, wife is 1956 and daughter is 1976. I said we should get a housekeeper born in 66 to fill in the gap but she said no. That was a long time ago, now I might skip 66 and 86 and go right for 1996. I bet it is still no. |

Consumer Reports seems to like the quartz over the granite for countertops. Why are you so down on quartz? -- Ban Krausescheiße-spouting narcissists...not guns! |

Most I have looked at, just looks boring. |

It's prettier. Although seams in quartz will be less noticable. Quartz has a lot of resin in it so I'd be wary of setting a hot pan off the stove on it. Side benefit to granite is you can thaw a 1" steak on it in about 30 minutes. Quartz supposedly doesn't need to be sealed, although I never sealed the granite in our old house and it looked like new the day we moved out. Our transitory home(RV)has Corion and it scratches easily. |
