Beneath machinery and completely inaccessible (except by specially trained snakes) can be found all major boat wiring, batteries, pumps, blowers, hydraulics and other equipment that requires routine maintenance.AlleeSpazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09471448945847485523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834826019588534175.post-50652493787582225552011-04-20T14:20:48.717-04:002011-04-20T14:20:48.717-04:00Scantlings - a very small bikini worn by a skinny ...Scantlings - a very small bikini worn by a skinny woman while lounging on the fore deck of a Sundecker 44Markhttp://www.onboardwithmarkcorke.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834826019588534175.post-39536647060699337212011-04-15T12:32:41.484-04:002011-04-15T12:32:41.484-04:00Fibersnakes: Very similar to your "DNA collec...Fibersnakes: Very similar to your "DNA collection area" except they're usually the result of a hole or jig saw cut leaving extremely sharp fangs on the trailing edge of the hole. You know the edge you can't see but can stick your finger in. Encounters with the not so elusive Fibersnake have been deadly!<br /><br />Birds Nest: Again, very similar to the wire spider web but on steroids. Imagine a cluster of wires about the size of a softball clinging to the steering column held in place by one of natures little miracles, black electrical tape.<br /><br />The Head: A device installed aboard a boat for the collection, retention and future disposal of human waste. This does not include: Cigarette butts, sanitary napkins, paper towels, shop towels, baby wipes, tooth picks, wire clippings, etc. <br /><br />;-)She:Konhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14989128609817614056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834826019588534175.post-23491525880028132372011-04-15T10:11:15.150-04:002011-04-15T10:11:15.150-04:00Amphole- An amphole is someone who has an incredi...Amphole- An amphole is someone who has an incredible amount of energy dependant toys and uses them constantly. Things such as large flat screen TV’s, air conditioning, an ice maker or any of the other cool things that I don’t have. You can usually spot an amphole by the sound of his generator running late into the night in a crowded anchorage.S/V Verandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738948023678971536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7834826019588534175.post-81103437844110188502011-04-15T09:30:26.950-04:002011-04-15T09:30:26.950-04:00Rust - Natures way of telling you that anything in...Rust - Natures way of telling you that anything in this world is here on a temporary basis, including you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
