I'd be inclined to call "bovine excrement" on OBX except that I've
already been there in my 12 ft RIB dinghy. Let us know how Oregon
Inlet looks in a 25 kt easterly.

PS and FYI, that is *not* a tuna tower on the Pahkeh, it is a
flybridge.

*This* is a tuna tower:

What was that? Firefox didn't want to open it, whatever it was.

Interesting, I wonder why.

Do a Google Image search on "tuna tower" and look for the nice Bertram

Well, if you've been somewhere, D'whine, it must be bullsh*t, or at
least covered in it, eh?

It's about 220 miles from my house to the OBX, D'wine. About a six hour
drive pulling my tandem trailer, including food and rest stops. Or three
days on your creaky old floating RV, if the weather sucks.

Careful with those long trailer pulls.

You might turn into a Skipper.

We have had 3 wonderful vacations on the Outer Banks, most recently in a 3
level, 5 bedroom house on the ocean with my sisters family. The house had a
pool, hot tub and game room.

Mornings were spent with a cup of coffee watching the dolphins swimming
parallel to the beach.

Nice place, but a bit expensive.




Yeah, we rent a house with another couple. No need for that many
bedrooms, though. There's lots of stuff to do there, some boat-related,
some not. It's a pretty easy drive from here. South Florida is too
damned hot for summertime fun.

Harry,
Didn't you tell Skippy if you had to pull a boat more than 30 min., you
would just rent one when you got there.

The beauty of it is I don't have to drive the distance. Guy we share a
house with has a big GM diesel pickup and knows how to pull a trailer
safely. I get to copilot or snooze half the way. Virginia Beach is as
far as I will trailer a boat from here.

Someday if I have nothing to do...nah...I still wouldn't want to live on
a boat.

Harry,
This might be the most honest post I have seen you make:

Someday if I have nothing to do...nah...I still wouldn't want to go boating.
