If you head down the Miles and turn "left" towards the bridge, there are
aren't many...

Does the name AJ Clark mean anything to you?

Sure does. Big time contractor hereabouts. Lives in the Easton area.
Why, is he related to you?

This may sound like a really stupid question, but I honestly don't
know the answer.

Is it easier to manuever a boat with twin engines with two rudders?
What would be the difference if it had one rudder? Or if you have a
single engine and two rudders?

I am not sure I understand your question, but a single engined boat like
the
GB has one rudder, a twin engined boat like the Navigator has two rudders.

On a power boat, the rudder is placed directly behind the prop(s) and it's
purpose is to direct the prop wash to move the stern and provide steerage.
It's not the same as a sailboat that would have a much bigger rudder and
depends on the movement of the boat to steer, rather than the prop wash.

But you already knew that.


Not all. the Titanic had 3 screws and one rudder. Was a major reason that
it crashed after the short warning of the iceberg ahead. They tried to stop
the ship and when the engines went to reverse, there was no steerage. Small
rudder and no real flow over it.

He owns the only "Lobsta Yacht" for miles around on the Miles River.

Roland Martin is a first-class guy. He'd probably let you book a room at
his marina, if he's still operating it. I'm sure they have at least one
room reserved for your kind. Of course, you might have to show a photo
ID...you'd best stay at home.

Oh...and sometime in the late 1950s, I don't remember exactly when, my
father and mother took a trip to a fancy resort where my father, cashing
in a "prize" he won as a boat dealer, got to dance with Frances
Langford. I saw an 8mm movie of it when they returned home.


I am impressed.

Roland Martin's Marina is a cool place with a *lot* of local color.

Bring bug spray. We lent ours to the band two years ago so they could
keep playing. Unfortunately the main channel through Lake O is about
1.5 feet below our run aground depth at the moment. Hello Florida
Keys.

That's absurd. There are at least a half-dozen berthed in the inner
harbor of St. Micheals alone, and there are a couple just outside the
harbor on the north shore. And that's just in one harbor off the Miles
River. There are two I know of that don't belong to Clark near the
bridge, including one kept on a lift.

I've seen that one also.

In my opinion, Clark's is the only true lobsta boat in the bunch, and
it was built by Ellis in Maine. That makes it a thoroughbred.

Wayne,
Since you are just a few miles from Harry's Lobster Boat, you really
should go by and see it. I understand it is very impressive in a
Zimmerman like way.

Well, opinions are like a**holes, eh? Everyone has one.


This is the more typical lobster boat:

I like some of Spencer Lincoln's full cabin models better.
