boats on e bay
Anyone out there / in here have some personal bias towards educational sailing books? They all seem basic.?
I am a greenhorn at best and was just saved from an all too close E-bay transaction gone bad (because the boat would prob. have sunk) yet moving on I am paying installments weekly towards a Ranger 23 foot sailboat. I really don't know how to sail anything but a Sunfish and that was just from experiencial knowledge. So any information from keel to birds nest, bow to stern could really help and be appreciated. Thank you for your time and insight.
These aren't my words, but might as well be:
"There is nothing -- absolutely nothing -- half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's the charm of it. Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not."
Spoken by Ratty to Mole in Wind in the Willows a children's book by Kenneth Grahame (1859-1932).

BALAENOPTERA MUSCULUS E BAY FAST BOAT
{ 4 comments }
down here in Australia most of the boats are rubbish on eBay. Although there is a maxi hull for sale!
If you read the full plan as it is currently drafted, there are just scores of problems and assumptions.
First and foremost my question (in an email I sent to WETA) is WHY? Why did we need WETA (other than to fullfill the “dream” of Ron Cowan (a support and ally of Don Perrata). Seems rather stupid for the state to be buying the ferries from the cities, just to create this boondoggle. And WHY did the GG Ferries get spared, they have the biggest boats on the bay, seems like they would come in handy during an emergency, right?
The two ferries they plan on using for the Berkeley to SF line are only going to carry 199 passengers. One is going to cost 11million and the other 17 million. The terminal and ferry landing is currently estimated at 35 million (even though they have no clear idea on where that landing might be, and you know once they do, there will be years of lawsuits because of it). The are also buying two “spare” boats, that will only hold 149 passengers. A typical bart car seats 65, so during a commute it is safe to assume that there are 100 people per car. So the average 10 car train holds 1000 people during commute hours. That would take the berkeley ferry 5 trips to move the same amount of people as a single bart train. Sounds like an expensive trip.
WETA is also expecting the Port of Oakland, and the City of Alemeda to continue to provide funding (both in actual dollars and in kind funding by the Port for free parking). When these ferries are no longer run by Alameda, what motivation does either entity have for spending their money on the ferry service? Part of the funding from Alameda comes from their street light assessment fee's!
Lastly, it seems like WETA is making assumptions, based on things that they don't talk about in their plan. The very popular weekend service to Fisherman's Wharf from Alameda/Oakland is made possible by the fact that the marine services are provided by the Blue and Gold Fleet. B&G also runs the Vallejo ferry for the city of Vallejo. The Harbor bay ferry is run by a different company, and thus only goes to the SF Ferry Building and back. Also, none of the GG Ferries land at the Wharf, they also only go to the Ferry Building. B&G does run it's own ferry service to Sausalito, but no public money goes into that line). The Vallejo, Alameda Oakland, and Harbor Bay lines would all be put up for bid as a single service contract. If B&G bids but does not win, does this mean the end to the Wharf landings? (B&G owns or leases the rights to those landings, and would want to charge a fee for another service to land there). Or maybe WETA just expects to end the service to the Wharf and instead tell everyone to drive to the Wharf instead?
This is the inspiration for the title of this blog:
Service – David Hunt ♫
I feel the sun on the windowpane
And now I know that I'm living
Lights went out on the boats in the bay
Just before the sun was risen
So friday morning has come again
And oh, what a gift I've been given
All my time is my own today
And what else could I have chosen
But to give it to you
'Cause I can't give away what isn't mine
And all that I have is my life and my time
And the feel of a hometown where I landed
They're slipping away, I'll be empty handed
So while I can call these things my own
I'm going to give them to you
I hold the earth in the palm of my hand
So say the wise and the sages
I've got nothing, but I'm working God's land
I've got the *wealth of the ages*
I wear the clothing of the common man
Doing the work of the angels
Time flies like fine grains of sand
My life is a turn of the pages
And I'll give it to you
“Soon will our handful of days … be gone,
and we shall pass empty-handed
into the hollow that is dug for those who speak no more.”
It's only my life 'til it's ended
And it's only what love demanded
To give it to you
It's like giving away what isn't mine
Can I really claim my life and my time
Or even the hometown where I landed
They're slipping away, I'll be empty handed
So while I can call these things my own
I'm going to give them to you
And if I can call these things my own
I've got to give them to you
Can I really call these things my own
it looks like it could be the work of either george or jerome rozen…twin bothers from long island who were popular magazine cover illustrators back in those days….most notably on the 'the shadow' pulp mag in the 30s-50s…
EDIT:lookin' thru my various research books…it also could be reed crandall…but it is definitely not virgil finlay, frank frazetta, or al williamson…
