Boating articles with tips and guidelines for awesome boating experiences
I have just returned from a boat delivery that took me from Boca Raton, Florida to a Marina on the C&D Canal, a major shipping canal between the upper Chesapeake Bay and Delaware Bay. During this 7 day trip, I traveled outside on the Ocean and in the Intracoastal Waterway through South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. Running outside, with the exception of the seas being occasionally rough (7 to 9 ft in places), was not eventful. The inside trip I found to be very eventful as I had the chance to observe Captains, Owners and Mates operating their boats and yachts. Overall, they all did really good but there were some very scary, yet entertaining and educational events that happened.
There is evil lurking in your bilges. The unassuming Sump Tank is the holder of things that you may not want to know about.
