What a boring world it would be if we all agreed about everything, all of the time!

Single handling a boat up and down the east coast ? Debatable.... After a Few cold ones maybe
 
Pascal posts a very interesting read. Someplace's he writes of i have never had the pleasure of exploring.

I enjoy reading his posts.

Please keep posting, it is the nature of this " Thing "called the " internet ".

For example someone will post in a i/o forum the proper way to start and run a motor, and lo and behold another poster will point out the poster should have stated it was only for four stroke, and will not work for a 2 stroke outboard.

No chit, it was posted in a i/o forum wtf.
 
Pascal is a true professional. I enjoy the trips he allows us to view. I hope he will continue to let us “on board”. The highest compliment is: I would want him to deliver my boat. If I had a boat he would want to deliver.

Hey bill, i'm fine with that! you know, last year (or was it last spring) you posted some pictures as I passed by and my guests/crew was on the swim platform which i didnt' know at the time. that's the kind of things i find positive... now, my safety briefing includes "nobody is supposed to go thru the transom gates while underway" and i also keep the transom cam on while underway.

i know we dont' agree about singlehandling but i will be very happy to discuss it over a cold one... you said you're heading out thru the bahamas soon, so will I... I do hope we find a way to "run into each other"! maybe somewhere in the Exumas?

as to promoting, let me reiterate that my posts have nothing to do with promoting anything... i'm not looking for work right so the cam threads are really motivated by sharing the experience and hoping someone learns something. I do hope that should you wish to do the same, it will be seen as acceptable and something benefitial will come out of it.

btw, i almost emailed you when i went up to FLL to get underway on that Hatt a couple of weeks ago, but i was just out of time and really wanted to make St Lucie that same night.

The owner is in for a week or so and we go to Harbour Island first for a while. After that I'm not sure. At some point with or without the owner we should be in the Exumas so I'll keep an eye out and/or cal for you on the VHF.

"as to promoting, let me reiterate that my posts have nothing to do with promoting anything... i'm not looking for work right so the cam threads are really motivated by sharing the experience and hoping someone learns something."

Yes, but your site also promotes your charter business. And that is the bone I have picked with the powers that be.

"I do hope that should you wish to do the same, it will be seen as acceptable and something benefitial will come out of it."

I thought I already had been sharing my experience. :-)

Unless you're referring to doing more cam trips. Which I would like to but that would be hard to do now going out of the country and offshore. But I will continue to post pictures as I go.

"btw, i almost emailed you >snip<"

I understand the to busy to do everything deal. Believe me.

The debate centers on the inability of someone to be in two places at once on a large boat. Not just single handing per-say.

I've single handed boats for years and will do so again.

But when they are other peoples boats and I'm getting paid to do it, it will only be under the right circumstances.
 
Ummm my only comment is don't check the helm cam when you fly back. You have too many addicts who depend on that thing while we are stuck at home in bad weather.
 
Pascal,

I really enjoyed your trip and learned from your experiences. Keep up the good work there "Captain Pascal"
