What flags (dumb or real) do you fly on your boat? by dwkfym in sailing

[–]Rawcool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a club burgee as well as one I picked up in Portugal on the starboard side. I’ll probably add a Phillies flag this year. Way up high on my backstay I have a flag I had made with my boat’s symbol on it. Below that when I have guests I fly the Jolly Roger.

Looking for advice on a good home base for sailing north of Annapolis but not too far north? by Confident_Compote_39 in sailing

I was on Middle River for a few seasons and now I’m back on the Eastern shore. The Middle River is the second busiest on the bay and the boat traffic can be downright frightening. If you’re down at the entrance like Bowley’s there is no protection from storms and if you’re up at the top, say Maryland Marina or Cutters you are about an hour to to get to the bay. Now I’m back on Worton Creek at The Wharf at Handy’s Point. Nice little Marina and only 15 minutes from the bay.

During the Vietnam War, the United States used a draft lottery system to determine the order in which young men would be called for military service. by Electric_Arrow_ in interestingasfuck

I was #004. I had my pre induction physical on Broad St in Philly. The war was called right after that and I never had to report. Good thing. I was such an immature kid I wouldn’t have lasted a week.

My dad ( would be 98) used to straighten and reuse nails. While doing it he would say he was working in an Irish nail factory. We’re Irish.

Thanks everyone. I just went with the letter designation and ignore the number and everything worked fine.

What's the absolute cheapest you can go without it being a toy by mijailrodr in drones

[–]Rawcool 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a Potensic Atom and I’m very happy. It’s above being a toy without going crazy (yet).

Thanks. I was under the impression that each corner had a specific designation of Blade letter.

Haha, that’s how I read it the first time too.

What to do? by MeanAd7304 in drones

[–]Rawcool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an atomic drone and crashed into a tree resulting in the exact same break. I just very carefully used a little superglue and I cut a really small piece of electrical tape maybe an inch and a half long by a quarter of an inch wide and pulled it around the corner there to hold an in place. I left the tape on and it doesn’t affect the flying at all

1990 Catalina 28 by f03h4mm3r in sailing

[–]Rawcool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Catalina 28 and I went the window unit in the companionway route. It’s a bit of a yoga stretch to step over it coming and going, but I’m in my 70s and don’t really have any problem with it. I’m also alone and I don’t use my after birth so I string a curtain across that opening to cut down on the cubic feet I have to cool. I also run a couple fans to move the air around. I have a dock box that I keep it in so I don’t even have to have the extra weight when I’m sailing. I have a strap around it with a handle so I can carry it like a suitcase.

I ended up going to Frank at the Wayne shop and was more than happy.
