Dead Penguins - I never knew this!
Did you ever wonder why there are no dead penguins on the ice in Antarctica?
Where do they go? Well wonder no more!
It is a known fact that the penguin is a very ritualistic bird which lives an extremely ordered and complex life.
The penguin is very committed to its family and will mate for life, as well as maintain a form of compassionate contact with its offspring throughout its life.
If a penguin is found dead on the ice surface, other members of the family and social circle have been known to dig holes in the ice, using their vestigial wings and beaks,until the hole is deep enough for the dead bird to be rolled into, and buried.
The male penguins then gather in a circle around the fresh grave and sing:
"Freeze a jolly good fellow."
"Freeze a jolly good fellow."
You really didn't believe that I know anything about penguins, did you?

Re: Full enclosure fit year to year question
Here’s an idea. Pick up a hardtop for your boat!
https://www.greatlakesskipper.com/rinker-boat-hard-top-tower-2210776-97-1-2-x-51-inch-white-scuffs
They dropped the prices by about $2000 recently. I paid about $6000.

Re: rinker 370 2017, on/off switches, generator, alternators,
Always assumed on my 330 that the single battery behind generator started the genny plus starboard engine on same side. Few years back genny wouldn’t start, tried bunch of things, including cleaning up that single battery connection. Stilled failed. Finally had to hire genny specialist, who spent lots of time trying things, and finally went to port side and cleaned terminals over there. Voila! Genny started. Never understood why till now. That ended up being a very expensive lesson.

Re: Pic Of The Day
@LaRea, sorry to hear of the prop troubles. On the bright side, looks like hull and shafts of the M/V LaRea are nice and clean and (visually) free of damage.
Kilo-bucks. I suppose since the M/V LaRea (Maritimo) is Australian, the boat bucks are counted in metric, lol?
