That's a beautiful boat. Glad you made it safe. Did your wife go with you No we can't go away together. Someone has to stay home and look after the boat and furry and feathery crew. The owner and his wife came along for the ride though.

The owner and his wife came along for the ride though. Oh that makes sense. Sounds like they are nice and you guys had a good time seeing the bonus that you were given.

Looks like fun. While the mountains have my soul, there is something about the open ocean. I am jealous!

I was wondering does the owner even drive his own boat , take it out of the marina on his own or is it more like a floating condo.
the big boats 50+ feet at my dad's marina seems to spend 99.9% or more of the time at dock and on shore power as weekend homes for the owners , some of their kids are there more often but they just run around in the jet boat.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

nice, I've always wanted to run up/down the coast, but never did.
some days I miss living near the Bay - but when I was there, I missed the mountains more.
never trust the weather folks

He was at the wheel for 20 minutes in the albermarle sound. Then he got nervous. No other boats , no buys to hit. just steering comps course. He uses it as a condo and has a 34 foot sea ray he uses as a runaround. She is not going to move until I go and pick her up in November to bring her back down here with a list of things that they will want fixed or changed.

She is 73 foot long, 22 feet wide, on the lower deck there are 4 double cabins and the master suite. Each with their own head and shower. Powered by two V12 twin turbo charged Detroit diesels with 1250 Hp each. She carries 300 gal of water and 2800 gal of fuel. 3 fridges, 2 ice makers one freezer and 8 Air conditioning units. All of that gets powered by either 3 x 50 Amp shore supply cables or one of two 20 KW diesel generators. Behind the fly bridge and sun deck with built in BBQ, and bar, there is a hydraulic davit used to launch the tender that is parked on the top deck. On the trip to Herring bay we used just shy of 1600 gal of diesel between the generators and main engines. Traveling at an average speed of 10 knots I had 68 running hours on the engines from A to B. Only stopped the generator in those days to check the oil level. Next month I am taking a 40 sail boat up to Solomons from here. I think the owner wants to come along. Hopefully he will change his mind as I am not a very good baby sitter.

Yep..With all of the diesel engines and generators running. Do you control the diesel exhaust system for fumes?
