boats in my hood

this cool chris craft has not seen the water in years!

boats in my hood

this boat sat covered all summer.

clearly a georgetown alumnus.

my new boat

naw...i wish, but there's only one left and i dont get paid til next week.

you are invited to join the club: not

wow...looks like the 'right' kind of boat is a requirement for entry into this yacht club...but maybe with the economy, my little boat might suffice...nice design...a bit too far to cruise to this weekend, though...

there goes a flying gefilte fish

the flying gefilte fish is a great name...seen 'em in the deli...looked creepy...never tasted one

too hot to fish

it's too hot to fish right now, damn it!

it's too hot to be outside: sorry, fish!

winterizing the boat

had new rear lights added to the boat while it was in the shop...picked it up today: it was filled with snow and ice.

st. mary's oyster festival

i had planned on getting the proline from the shop and driving it today across the potomac today or riding my new busa to the st.mary's oyster festival, but the flu combined with a nasty storm has made both impossible. think i will stay in and watch the speed channel...and nap.

1989 82ft Custom Cockpit - Motoryacht

this 82-foot custom motoryacht is so awesome, and its for sale right down the road in richmond. my boat-broker brother-in-law says i should offer half of the asking price from the bank.

house, boathouse, boat

this is a sweet setup designed by Sluijmer & van Leeuwen Architects.

chesapeake bay sunset

pro-line is still in the shop...too lazy to take out the zodiac...cast off the pier and caught the neighbor's pier...sunset was awesome.

the world's most expensive sailboat

the maltese falcon has been parked down the street from my in laws. i heard two guys on a 30' footer t-boned it dwi: they were hauled off in handcuffs by the coast guard!

boat rearends taurus

how did this happen?

i married miss go-go

the wife does not have a nickname, but if she did, it would definately be 'miss go-go': she is a huge fan of go-go music, wanted to be a go-go dancer at age five, and has multiple pairs of go-go boots...and she spied this gorgeous girl. the real miss go-go is significantly older than the wife, but no less beautiful. she is a 1953 chesapeake bay deadrise tied up at tiffany yachts yard on the great wicomico river, where she was completely renovated and glassed in 2004. super sweet, just like the wife.

killer whale yacht

is this really necessary? apparently not, because no one has forked over the $95-million to have oculus made: this is a virtual killer whale yacht.

chesapeake bay skipkack

this is a photo of the chesapeake bay foundation's skipjack stanley norman, built in 1902 for dredging oysters, currently used as a floating classroom for kids. adults can sail away on another one of the cbf's skipjacks this september and october.

tiffany yachts

took a paddle on the great wicomico today...such a beautiful body of water with unbelievable boathouses (although, completely polluted with pcb's: do not eat the fish out of this river!} stumbled upon an amazing farm with a great piece of land, gorgeous house with awesome boathouse and three unbelievable tiffany boats: two skiffs, and one deadrise. tiffany yachts was probably 4 miles down the river from this place: wish i had my iPhone out of the hatch to snap some photos! above is a 16' tiffany skiff for sale via yachtworld.com that really isnt any where near as nice as the two i saw, but sort of represents the design aesthetic of tiffany yachts. tiffany no longer offers the skiff anymore, but i am sure they would do it custom. this is american craftsmanship at its best!

1963 chevrolet corvette boat

i knew the corvette was named for the stingray, but i didnt know it was also named after "the corvette: a small, manoeuverable, lightly armed warship, originally smaller than a frigate and larger than a coastal patrol craft". swedish designer Bo Zolland came up with this new winged boat based on a classic corvette from the 60's. it can be ordered with a 496 HP or 502 HP Mercruisers, an LS-9 marine or a Volvo Penta Diesel with up to 550 HP. could you pull it with a matching '63 vette?

off-shore fishing

headed to rehobeth with john for some off-shore fishing with dennis on his sweet parker.

absolut-ly perfect

found a wooden boat perfect for the wife.
