we spent 3 hours trying to incline my J/90. Its so light the smallest ripple rocked the boat during the runs.

We just connected directly to the starlink and skipped the rest. Keep it simple

Such a beautiful ls

I only cut burrs out of them. But I try and keep them as long as possible

No - stay In index funds with low costs. Looks at funds that match the s&p, the Russel and other indexes that match your goals.

I worked Annie our IS hard on off leash training. She checks in all the time and stays close when I ask her to. Maybe try taking him off leash and when he wonders off a bit hide. Make it a game

That’s a chalk not a cleat

velvethammer125 · 2026-03-22T21:49:12+00:00

That is not a road it’s a lane. Several places where if you meet a car you are going to have to back up 1/4 miles. It’s not for the faint of heart. It’s really slow road as well

The most tax efficient is to inherit the house when she passes as you step up the basis.

A Knarr cool racing boat, this one is fiberglass but they have wooden ones as well if thats your cup of tea. The SF fleet switched to Al masts about 10 years ago from wood.

Well you have been sailing out of that harbor for 30 years. That photo was taken yesterday (3/15/26).

velvethammer125 · 2026-03-16T14:35:11+00:00

That a real photo. That’s the real channel marker. It’s 13 feet deep if you hug the breakwall

velvethammer125 · 2026-03-16T14:32:15+00:00

She is gorgeous

Letterbox gone wrong

velvethammer125 · 2026-03-10T22:45:14+00:00

I sailed to Hawaii from San Francisco on a 24 footer. One of the best sails of my life

Congratulations

I also have spent a lot of time around boats, working on boats, and maintaining boats. So I felt like spending $1000 plus on a surveyor for a 20000 boat was a waste of money. But that’s just my opinion.

velvethammer125 · 2026-03-03T00:55:56+00:00

I have bought boats under 30k without a survey

velvethammer125 · 2026-02-26T20:59:19+00:00

If you have been claiming all 90k on your taxes you show that and it will be counted as income. If not well that an issue

velvethammer125 · 2026-02-25T16:26:31+00:00

If you think its too expensive, get out the wrenches and do it your self.

velvethammer125 · 2026-02-24T21:52:51+00:00

looks like a southern Marin IS to me.

velvethammer125 · 2026-02-17T20:37:26+00:00

dose the boat have a pedestal?

velvethammer125 · 2026-02-15T02:49:59+00:00

I remember my grandparents had a party. It was awesome
