The ball bearings are dry lubricated, which I like.
Give it your best shot and see if you can guess what the name of this creek is.
Thanks for taking a look at the view!

This is one of the most magnificent sailboats built today. Watch this well edited video that summarizes the entire build process of the Fairlie 55. What a beautiful boat and what beautiful craftsmanship. You don’t see too many boats built like this today. I personally, love the line between classic design/craftsmanship, meets modern innovation.

Take a minute or two and see what the toughest sailboat race in the world is up to. It has been almost 2 months and the race is about 3/4 of the way finished.

Newport Rhode Island is no stranger to the Americas Cup. Annapolis local, Terry Hutchinson and Team Artemis seem to be the big match racing threat. Â While James Spithill and Team Oracle maintain a 4 point lead in the overall standings just ahead of Emirates Team New Zealand. The standings atop the leaderboard are tight to…
…….The Amel 55, is a true luxury blue water cruiser, well built and very…….Amel. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgyUTORwKIc&w=560&h=315] This video was brought to you by the hard working fellows at YachtingWorld’s YouTube Channel. I love the enclosed helm with the large windows. A truly gorgeous yacht!
What a better way then to end the year with one of our last trips aloft for 2014? This was taken early November and was one of the last views from aloft for the year. Here we were aloft to conduct another one of our Rigging Safety Inspections. Maryland Yacht Club offers one of the…

Not bad, you must know the area well Paul. Thanks for the comment. Just FYI (for your information) if you click on the top panorama picture and then click it again, you should be able to zoom-in see her “heiney”.
