"And now, stand by for adventure!"*

Hello boys and girls, I’m writing you from Motor Vessel (MV) Shearwater (a sister-ship to DavidEllis, both Diesel Duck 462s built by Seahorse Marine, ZhuHai, CN). Shearwater is tied up at the end of the north pontoon, Hebe Haven Yacht Club, Pak Sha Wa…

Easy FPB Facelift

We like the matte gray unobtrusive looks of an aluminum hull that has been exposed to sea water for a year or so.
