How Not to Park Your Boat
- Thread starter r32
- Start date
That reminds me of when I worked at the boatbuilder. We had a boat (44 foot sailboat with lead keel) in a "cradle" and were getting ready to move it. That meant jacking the cradle up with big bottle jacks and putting wood blocks at the corners to make room for the wheeled platform to be rolled under the cradle. At a certain point one of the wood blocks (they were actually stacks of 2x4s nailed together) failed in some way and the there was a lound bang and the corner of the cradle tipped. In a split second everyone else was 20 feet away and I was left there thinking I could hold up the cradle by myself. When It became apprent the boat was not going to tip over they all started laughing at me.
Good times!
Pretty much any area in CA that has marinas has liveaboard options. Be picky about the year round weather and nearby amenities (Moss Landing pretty much sucks for living on a boat). Some marinas that front big hotels come with access to the hotel pool, gym, jacuzzi, etc. for example.
WE had those type of hydrofoils in Hawaii in the 1970's. The novelty eventually went away. Locals wanted to get from A to B in the quickest of times. The company went belly up the the hydrofoils went to Hong Kong.
Super Ferry in Hawaii didn't last long here either. Protesters / surfers wouldn't let it enter Nawiliwili harbor on Kauai's. It also carried passenger cars and trucks. It soon went away. Honolulu to Maui. Honolulu to Kauai.
$81.00 r/t to Kona & back from Lihue to see my new squeeze ~
BUT, layovers on Oahu on the way back suck. Directs aren’t frequent. Hawaiian Air is a little better.
Price change coming in Jan 23.
