The BP station on the SE corner of 192 and US 1 in Melbourne has Ethanol Free gas. The owner of the BPhas a 33' boat at his home and carries gas home in gas cans several times a month.
I was by there yesterday in my car. It appears there are some "home-made " channel markers on the north side of the property, but South end where the new Tiki bar I didn't see any obvious markers. It was a little difficult to see from my car.
I used Adams Marine Seminars. They covered the course well, and even offer the medical, and first aid
requirements at the class. The price when I went was actually a little better than SeaSchool (not much),
but they came to Titusville, which is 15 m…

Sea school is about the cheapest and easiest, most of the 6 paks around here went this route
I was wondering if some of the Captains that I see on here would recommend a near by Captains School. My son (20 years old, 21, 05 April 2010) is interested in getting one. He's been on the water since a little guy and wants to get his license so he…
When I was a kid growing up in West Palm Beach, (many Mango seasons ago), this time of the year we would first try to find a "weed line" to troll along or failing that, we'd make our own "weed line" with newspapers, then troll along that. That was u…

Captains License (6 pack) and up grade
I was wondering if some of the Captains that I see on here would recommend a near by Captains School. My son (20 years old, 21, 05 April 2010) is interested in getting one. He's been on the water since a little guy and wants to get his license so he can replace one of you older guys when you retire. He's in no rush, but 2 years or so. Thanks!

I have some fresh water boating friends in Orlando.I will pass your original post to them. In case they left the local area. Which is probably the case. Others should do the same, maybe we can cover the state at least.
good luck,

We haven't heard anything. Please keep an eye out, but the chances of getting the boat back don't look good. I hear that there have been a lot of problems at Lee Wenner with theft, so everyone be careful if you put in or dock there.
Plastic tank. Fiberglass would deteriorate and I believe that aluminum oxidizes. Not iron oxide rust but oxidation nonetheless. Boats made after 1994 are supposed to have ethanol compatible gas tanks. Do you agree? Do you replace the water separatio…
Janet and Dan,
What is the status on your boat? Have you heard anything?
I am still looking on the weekends.

Henry,
Saw your boat heading in at the port Wednesday. We had been out to 8A and points north of there, not a lot of luck, Cuda and sharks. Was looking to see how you did Wednesday for comparison, I hope your report doesnt depress me too much.
