my dream boat, somewhere in the ocean




Boat Review: Xquisite X5 Plus - Sail Magazine
Nice, so what do you do when there's huge waves? I don't know anything about the ocean really. I love when I've been on boats and there's huge ass waves. I luckily don't get sea sick and love pounding beers on boats. But always wondered what folks do in a boat like that when they come across huge waves.
 
Aren't there places that will come in and harvest the hay? Or burn it all off, nutrients go back into the soil. Or call Bill Gates to take care of it.
Yeah some guys will throw you some money to cut the field into hay. Unless you have serious field acreage it's not gonna be worth most people's time.
 
Not sure if you caught this but I was listening to a story on the radio about how NC republicans ran over 3000 redistricting simulations and chose the one that will leave them in charge for the foreseeable future. I have no doubt this is the payback from the democrats for that move, as they were very close to taking NC as a permanent democrat possession in the past few years.That Virginia filth emanating out of DC has slowly crept south.

sail away from the path of the storm if you can, or find a "safe harbor". There's a big catamaran anchored nearby in a small estuary; it was there before we got the storm, it was still there after Helene. I shrimp boat workers houseboat (he lives on his boat), broke it's anchor line and was pushed ashore; undamaged he had to wait for high tide to float it out again.

Most of the boats in marinas and anchored around here seemed to do fine; if a big storm was heading this way, some would try to move them out of the path, or at the very least be sure they were secured in place. Depending on where your boat is located, your insurance policy may dictate what you have to do to be covered...
