to make a flight form east to west feasible are rather rare, and the birds must be present in migration to be caught up in it, making it even more unlikely. Also, the trip is over water. All these taken together make the presence of European birds quite remarkable. Some species include Lapwing, Corn Crake, Fieldfare, Redwing etc. So, based on these criteria I thought the Lapwing was the more remarkable record. For the same reasons I also thought the Black Guillemot should be ranked higher." 2. Our Connecticut lapwing was one part of a larger (and therefore more uncommon, historical) movement of multiple lapwings into North America this autumn, so some votes may have been for our lapwing as the first real "signal" of the beginning of that movement (the Quebec lapwing which arrived one day earlier was reported in French and generally unknown in the USA). 3. Additionally, our lapwing was part of the group/movement that led to the January 2, 2011 CBC record in Ferryland, Newfoundland.... only the 3rd Canadian CBC and the 8th CBC ever for Northern Lapwing (and half of those 8 were on the British or French islands of Bermuda, Tortola BVI, and Saint-Pierre et Miquelon Islands ! details at.. Lapwings 2010). Although lapwings are common in UK/Europe, they are among the rarest of birds on north american Christmas Bird Counts. 4. There is a UK/European side to the 2010 extreme lapwing movements, and Dennis Elphick in Devon UK is piecing that side of the story together currently. Some voters may have been aware of that work. 5. There is still at least one lapwing being seen in Newfoundland this week, so it is REMOTELY possible that we might have one or two here (in north america) in Spring, in time for a possible first-ever breeding record on this continent!! Very unlikely, but who knows. In other words, our lapwing story which began in CT might not be over yet! (-: Tom Robben Glastonbury CT

e is not dodging around all the stays, shrouds, lines, house, booms et al. as you anchor, dock, fend off, get bored and need to walk about This Trawler site is not full of females if you will note from the names of commenters, just gearhead guys with nothing better to do than argue about nothing as they sit at the dock and justify their current perspective on right or wrong. I have been up and down the ICW now perhaps 7-8 times in the last 15 years and its amazing how many single males are alone on there boats, so keep the girls happy, Flush decks are great, 2ft wide walkways are great, non skid that hurts bare feet is great, being intimate with every crevice and system on your boat is sane. 6-71s are great but noisy, not sitting in the rain and sun is great but the perspective from a flybridge as opposed to the perspective from a cockpit of a sailboat makes you think about what could be in a tuna tower or crowsnest, This whole thing about boats is doing not talking about it Mike Euritt wrote: Kevin, your brief post addresses every question I am starting to understand as I shop for my first power boat. By way of introduction, I live near San Francisco Bay, San Pablo Bay to be precise, shoals and short steep chop. I've some sailing experience, owned a wooden 30' x 10' beam centerboard double ender, and while owning it for 5 years, re-rigged hand spliced/served all done myself after acquiring instruction from the folks at the Maritime Museum in SF. This is my first interest in power because the new woman in my life says sailing is too much work.so. I've been able to find precious few power boats that seem sea worthy. What I want, I can find in the old wood fishing boats, deep, 4-5' draft, heavy and single diesel along the lines of a Detroit 6-71. You mentioned Grand Banks and they look great until I see the undersides, then I start to questions their worth in these harsh conditions. Then there is the three and four story boats, I don't think I'd want to be in them tied to a dock. A Pilothouse, single steering station with doors on either side for access to midships and docklines is what my fantasy is, a Protegees Bridge seems very neat and the deck should not be flush, we have small dogs that we'd like to keep a bit safer. Is there anyone building such a boat, or do I just narrow my search to old work boats? Also, is there a rule of thumb I should be aware of. I've heard something about a beam to length ratio, I think it is 1:3, but is there anything else like must weigh a certain amount (%) to provide for a more sea kindly ride? Thanks for your time in reading this.

Good is in the hull, Hit something and you will want steel, set it in fire, you will want steel, take small arms fire, steel,/kevlar Bulb Bows, increase waterline lenght and speed/efficiency,more importantly reduce pitching. Round Sterns/big rudders-don't immedialty broach like flat sterns in following seas. Air Height, windage/friction/roll-seasickness,tossed passangers,fear Depth, 20ft offshore would be nice, 18 inches at anchorage, Any more than 5ft for eastern US / Bahamas coastal cruising is a pain. Sooner or later we find those moments of terror seperated from the hours of boredom. If your focus is a stand up engine room ,queen aft bed, speed, varnished flat transom, then you will do better tied up to the dock. If a boat isn't right to start with it will never be right, The compromises that marketers make to sell a product should never be confused with what is right at sea.

are with those of us who are not inclined to mess with the systems is PRICELESS! Their advice and counsel get me back on the water quicker. I LOVE THOSE GUYS! There are boaters and hobbyists. Both have knowledge to share... Final note: Subject lines are important...and allow many of us to skim the list quickly for items of interest. But many do not use Subject lines correctly. For instance, a recent subject line was: Why Do They Do That? Not very informative. A better line would have been: 250v on 32 footer...why? There I go, micro-managing again....

e words "rather than challenge the open ocean far from shore" were added to it. The comment has the arrogance of an open-ocean sailor with disdain for anything but hazardous living. I think people challenging mother nature in the middle of an angry sea in small pleasure boats of ANY type are fools, and those doing so in boats like mine are idiots to boot (those friends of mine here who have done so know that I mean nothing personal). We don't live in the age of Columbus and have no need to put to sea in frail vessels not designed or required by their trade to be there. I know of no commercial or naval vessel under 200 feet long in which I would be comfortable attempting an ocean crossing. I have been through hurricanes (my first at age 6) and typhoons (multiples of both) at sea in SHIPS designed for the task. These situations were NEVER of my choosing, and when I had command of a ship, I once went clear to the equator to avoid trouble when there were four typhoons simultaneously lingering about the Western Pacific because I HATE rough weather. Why anybody would go out there voluntarily in a small boat is quite beyond me. Said another way, if you find yourself in a "moment of terror" surfing down a big ocean wave in a semi-displacement hulled trawler (or any pleasure vessel for that matter), you have obviously done something stupid like "taking a knife to a gunfight." That's my 2 cents. There are plenty of prudent folks out there with vessels fitting the author's description enjoying the heck out of life and not endangering themselves by taking these boats to places they were not designed to be sailed. You do not need to build a battleship to enjoy life on the more comfortable waters most on this list enjoy. On a personal level, my opinion of my own boat is that it is a poor sea boat, but that's OK because I am not inclined to take it out in seas forecast to 3 or more feet (just for admiral comfort) and more than 3-4 hours from shelter. Just to be clearly understood, I am ONLY talking about coastal waters here (and seldom if EVER out of VHF range of help), NOT river and ICW transits, where my vessel can handle pretty much anything mother nature normally has to offer. Nothing I ever saw in "the uttermost parts of the sea" made me want to go back there on my own. Sorry, not a romantic or a nut. Rich Gano CALYPSO (GB-42-295) Southport, FL

om, then you will do better tied up to the dock." I find myself in considerable disagreement with this categorical defamation of a whole class of vessels (and their proud owners) unless the words "rather than challenge the open ocean far from shore" were added to it.
