mmmm Is That Mahogany I Smell Cooking?

As part of Misery week here at Woody Boater we used a wonderful image of a boat burning provided to us by Mr Misery himself. Captain Grumpy... I wonder how he got that name? Yes not only did we get to enjoy Randy Rush's hell yesterday, but we get to now live in his shoes one more time! Here is the story of the burning boat in Randy's own words.

 

That Sinking Feeling.

Here is a copy from a comment from fellow Woody Boater Captain - Grumpy Randy Rush..We have photos now! Part of the fun on what is looking like Misery Month here in Woodyboaterville...

 

135, 135, 135, 90, 135, 135... Betsy, Don't Make Me Pull The Plug!

Boy what a difference a week makes. Last weekend was a classic boaters paradise, this week, hell. I suppose the balance of the universe needed to slap me back into reality.

 

Getting The Shaft On Memorial Day!

So, it looks like there are all sorts of perfect classic boater weekends. Fellow Woody Boater Brian Swanson balances out my perfect weekend.... Here it is in his own words. Brian you are not alone..
Memorial Day Mishaps and Mayhem
by Brian Swanson

I've noticed that none of my boating stories include college girls throwing their clothes into the lake as we're screaming across the water at high speed while I protest insincerely and admonish them to cease their unseemly and destructive behavior....

No...they include:

- Failed fuel pump.

 

Images From A Perfect Classic Boat Weekend

It all started with forgetting some parts to Sylvia. No hatch hardware or rub rails. How in the heck does someone forget that stuff?  But I did. It was three hours away. So we had to go into the water alfresco...Sans hatches. The weather was to perfect. And to be honest, it worked out great. I was able to work out her winter bugs with ease and there was no smell. The blow by issue needs to be addressed. As I went out to take her for her first run, I needed to get gas, so I went to Ingram Bay marina right across the river.

 

Name That Classic Boat!

Here is a fun story about naming your classic boat from fellow Woody Boater Howard Johnson from the Chesapeake Chapter of the ACBS. Which reminds me.. Come on down to the St Michaels show on Fathers Day weekend. June 18-20

 

What In The Hell Was I Thinking?

There is nothing like six hours out on a classic boat that can't solve all the worries of the planet.

 

Help Save A Hacker... 48' Cruiser! Yes A Hacker.

I Was Bound To Happen. A Classic Boat End.

I always joke that if you are looking for a boat just ask the guy who's boat you like at the dock.
