For all to see: www.yachtsilvercloud.com This is a new design. An old girlfriend of mine is crew chief/Chief Stewardass on board. Just launched Tue at noon in Germany for a 3 month sea trial, then interior refit. 133" by 58' beam. Submersible pilings, not just a cat or foil type boat. Designed to ride that shit out in comfort...
Usually crab fishers have side booms for their nets, or just a mid deck crane if they pick up ruses. This one seems to have netting equipment at the stern, so likely it is some kind of fish trawler.
I watched a show Sunday on TNT. It was called Black Gold. It was showing the guys down in Texas drilling for oil.....
I had no idea how dangerous THAT job is, but they have to wrap chain around the pipes to facilitate them going into the ground and if those chains break loose---- holy crap, watch out!!!! Check it out if you get a chance. Very interesting......
I love those type of shows. "Axe Men" is also good, about loggers up here in the Northwest. I have several cousins working the woods and an Uncle who I lost due to a logging accident. You have to be a special kind of crazy to do that job too!!
The Prober says Infinity is a homo! See the Little Drummer Boy thread for details. I knew it. I always thought he was a shirt-tail lifter, a stroller on Bourneville Boulevard, an aficionado of the chocolate starfish, a player of the pink oboe. Now we know for sure! Infinity's a homo, Infinity's a homo!
I can remember being on the USS Ranger (aircraft carrier) and seeing waves breaking over the flight deck. Aircraft and people have been washed off the elevators in years past. I can't imagine sailing some little piece of crap wooden ship across the ocean. That would take balls of steel, or crazy fanatic faith.
LOL gymyg - hope you're feeling well sir and welcome back
Agree with helldiver - mate of mine in the RN was on the bridge of the Invincible (only a toy compared to the US carriers but the bridge still must be 80ft above sea level) just south west of Iceland and saw the tops of waves coming past at the same level.
He said he shat himself but not as much as the guys on the smaller escort who's engine failed and they went to stations thinking they might have to abandon ship!
that craft is certainly seaworthy, just keep her at 90 degrees to the waves. note a bit of port list(sp).
Boats are like space ships, what discoveries men have made with them.
Yeah, you're right gymyg. Infinity made a great discovery when the toy boat in his bath got stuck up his ass under the water and he realised he enjoyed it.
I have a friend who rowed across the atlantic from africa to Fla. USA, he had balls and a lot of money. I have on ID why he did it. but the emails during his trip were amazing.
A friend of mine was one of three crew in a small yacht - 22ft Vega - in which tey crossed the Atlantic from the UK to South America. Everything went fine until they reached he coast of Brazil. They ran aground and the boat was smashed to matchsticks. There are two types of sailor - those who shit themselves when they can't see land, and those who shit themselves when they can. My friend was the latter. Infinity, of course, shits himself when he sees the water rising in his wash-hand basin.
If you saw the video in the top left corner, there was an 82' German Navy version skipping across the sea, while a 130' Cutter was getting the hell beat out of. Amazingly stable...
Nuckster, hope you and GymyG as well as Miter check the link attached to the 1st post. I'm supposed to be there for the launch but it was delayed and I have family obligations for the 4th. Plus that pesky "no-fly" problem...
Nice looking cruiser there sinkinboat! I noticed the picture of the "former silver cloud". That doesn't by chance have anything to do with your moniker "sinkingboat69" does it?
No, that was a 33' Pacemaker from Egg harbor, NJ. Took on water over New Years eve back in 2001 AND 2002. And I have a farce like an ass, hence my name...

The only thing more terrifying than being on Neptune's ocean when he's in a mood is being near land as these souls are. Obviously shot from land. Beautiful and scary as hell all at the same time.
It's funny. You guys are the only part of the site I never liked, yet you complain it's everything else. Oh well, I suppose an opposing view is something I've come to expect. :)
nefarious, if it werent for the length of of your rare responses then I'd say you could be one ofe the spamidiots. But you are OBVIOUSLY not. So your comments are welcomed....
Infinity went on a boat trip once. The jolly sailors welcomed him aboard, plied him with strong rum and put him in a barrel with a glory hole for two weeks. It gave a whole new meaning to "jolly roger".
When they took him back to port, he was a changed boy.
PLEASE STOP this on going harangue, IT is SO TIRESUM! . PLEASE contribute something positive ,today that's what the world needs . We all know what you feel about this poster Infinity ,ENOUGH > thanks

For the benefit of nitpicker - a glory hole is a hole in a wall or similar (barrel maybe) through which a male organ is pushed, either to facilitate fellatio by a person on the other side, or to ram it up their ass. Clear now? Infinity will be able to tell you how it feels to be on the wrong side of the wall.
Thats a Icelandic bottom troller and the video is taken right of the south coast of Iceland. Just another day at sea during winter months.. Thats why we laugh our ass of when we see that crab thing in Discovery.. :p
