Loony behavior
It was perhaps 2 weeks ago I saw a loon doing just that a few hundred feet off our dock. At first I couldn't make out what he was doing. He kept "slapping" whatever he had caught into the water and...

We're it to be stop (or NWS) and "full throttle" I suspect there wouldn't be as much complaining. From what I've heard here, the issue is wake size and I'll guess it's mostly due to the same thing I...

The general rule is to find out how they're getting in. You seal up all the avenues of ingress/egress ... except for one. Then on some night when they're out ... seal it up and the bats out. In an...

Interesting but I'd have thought stability would have some bearing as well. A small cruiser with same LOA as a bowrider generally has less capacity because, at least I thought, the weight of the...
