Re: What did you do to your boat today
I added an ugly cat to my radar dome today. Owls ain’t cutting it anymore. Seagulls are getting smarter around here. I’m tired of daily shitzkriegs on my canvas.

Re: Meet the new La Rea!
Thats too bad re: the Atmos. Slick unit but missing what I think could have been the biggest win.
For the Starlink, do you have the dish heating enabled? I've heard it cycles on even when ambient temps are well above freezing.

Re: Backup Camera
you know...the more i think about this the more i am not quite sure i like the idea of a camera recording me backing into my slip. I just don't think that needs to be documented. Without video evidence I am a master of the wind and waves and always in control. I could easily see my wife starting some social media feed of my mishaps. Guess that is why i am glad cell phones didn't exist when i was a kid. I have plausible deniability.

Re: Lets see your pets out on the Rinker
So we went out for a nice run to a restaurant for Father’s Day. We took Winnie inside with us and had a great lunch. Walking out I started talking to a couple and they asked if we had a life vest for her. I put it on to show them because it’s always a good laugh when I pick her up by the handle! LoL. About 20 minutes goes by, I’m on the phone with my dad and I hear a big splash! Winnie fell off the platform!! Luckily I put the vest on, she was panicking and trying to get up on the bulkhead but obviously that wasn’t happening. I was able to just barely reach her and pull her back onboard. If she didn’t have the vest on, I’m sure I would’ve had to jump in to get her. Frenchies aren’t the best swimmers!!

Re: Bimini top poles bent
I'd find a piece of solid metal that fits snuggly inside since she's located close to the end.
Lock the pole in a vice using some wood as not to damage the finish.
Apply heat and slowly work in it back into place. Going to need to get it cherry red. With tight enough inner sleeve you could likely get it near perfect with some work with a hammer and patience. Going to be a lot of trial an error.
Or as Mattie suggested, have an upholstery shop bend you a new pole in a about 10 minutes.

Re: How do you keep the birds away!?
I have one these on my 360. It handles the birds, but it creates a LOT of collateral damage around the marina and nearby towns.
