Day 339…No Meteor Photo

Welcome to day 339 of  365 photos…there was a meteor shower that peaked at 2AM on Sunday morning. I wasn’t awake when that happened but I decided that I would go out for a while last night to see if I could see any meteors to photograph. I set the camera on the tripod and added […]

Pearl Bayou anchorage

Sunday, December 14, 2014: Another beautiful day. Got a later start after pumping out at the free city pump-out. Choctawatchee Bay was calm with a very light chop. It took us 3 hours to go across the bay. We got to Panama City and to our anchorage in decent time averaging 11 mph. We listened to the Packer game on line radio station while under way; they played the Bills and lost 13 to 21.

Boardings On The Water. What Are My Rights?

Keep in mind that we are not attorneys nor do we have any expertise in the laws regarding these actions. Every Skipper must make their own decsions when they find themselves in a boarding situation. The following are only our thoughts and opinions. Boardings by law enforcement officers on the water have always been a touchy subject for many boaters. It’s often heard that such actions are considered anywhere from a minor inconvenience to a violation of our Constitutional rights. The truth and reality lies somewhere in between. There are still many misconceptions and misinformation in the boating community as to what can and can’t be done when you hear the dreaded command, “prepare to be boarded.” What are our options?  Can we refuse? Are our rights being violated? The answers are simple yet complicated and may not be what many want to hear or to believe.
