The Interpretation of Dreams
Excuse me, but what about a little chat?


Ever feel guilty about all the time you spend working on your boat? Listen up, compadre. Here’s a solution.

How a bunch of Aussies, an old wooden cruiser named Flinders, and a passel of marsupials joined forces to emphasize a deeply philosophical point.

Thanks to a swim-platform grill, a beautiful night, and a bunch of buddies gathered round, strange phenomena emerge.

Having a little chat with a good friend clarifies what’s always seemed like, what you might call, “one of my issues.”

Cruising with a bunch of folks in the future? Make sure somebody else does the grocery shopping. Really!

When the chips are down, sometimes an old-fashioned course is best.



Yanmar re-enters the outboard fray with a potentially game changing DTorque diesel motor.

Capt. Bill Pike reports on the devastation left in the wake of Hurricane Irma and meets a man who epitomizes what makes Boat U.S. special.

As Volvo Penta becomes the majority owner of Seven Marine, does this mean the realm of outboard propulsion is going to change? In ways that may eventually (pardon the pun) shock you.

And look at that shop he has out back—all those tools hung up neatly on a giant pegboard. He must really know what he’s doing.”

Here’s a quick tip on managing DIY time (and tools)
