No, not tonight. We eat well on the boat however.


You have been in the Gulf Stream for a few days now, I expect you
should have some nice fish. 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.

We have sometimes run the Gulf Stream all the way from Ft Pierce to
Charleston. 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.

Aye. Unfortunately every time I've found someone suitable my wife has
rejected her.

Sorry but you're just not keeping up. We ducked back inside late in
the afternoon to position ourselves for tomorrow. 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 ;-)


Gosh, what a propitious moment. We have Wilsonart Solid Surface Veneer in our kitchen that is past
the 25 year mark and has a couple cracks. Thinking of replacing it. Consumer Reports seems to like
the quartz over the granite for countertops.

Why are you so down on quartz?

We chose granite for our new house. 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.
