Blue Angels over Charleston Harbor

Post by rossjo »

We enjoyed a spectacular show by the Blue Angels over Charleston Harbor yesterday. We took several videos, but this is my favorite at the end of the show. The show started with Fat Albert doing slow passes, and then the FA-18s with many stunts just 50' off the water!

Hey Capt' Ross, I own the F36 tied up near the Hobcaw Yacht Club. I bought her last Oct. and have been redoing ever since. Almost finished ( if you ever are) but still trying to find fresh water cooling loss on Stbd. engine. Larry

Larry - thought that might be you. The old "Inkahoots".

Wish you had joined us - great show!

Whats up with your Std engine/ Cooling loss? "Freshwater cooling loss" = seawater side or the closed cooling water side? 440 ?

Larry - went right by your boat yesterday - looking good. Shame about the Flats boat that sank just behind you at the dock ... ouch ... Did you get your Stbd engine problem solved yet? Let me know if you need any help. Ross

hey Capt' Ross, Was in class all day sat. Didn't know about the flats boat. The dock next to mine belongs to our Mayor. I'll give him a call. I sometimes wonder if I'll ever get this engine fixed. I replaced one head with a rebuilt one and would you believe it was also cracked ! Of course the machine shop is takeing care of it, but , still the down time. They have both heads now, hope to get them back and installed this week. Thanx for checking on me. Larry

They had a crew of 3 with bags floating it back up Saturday. Hate to see a boat go down.

Cracked heads, huh? That hurts. Glad you've got a good machine shop on it ...
