Thousands of miles boats can travel, but the limiting factor of what boat is due to a single rail bridge outside of Chicago. Move the bridge, transform the bridge or just get rid of it so the water way is open to more types of boats. Got a boat with a shallow draft at 4.6ft, but she's a little tall. That bridge needs to go and a couple of resourceful maritime attorney's could probably make it happen in short order.
Loved the video except where you omitted Crockett Gallery, the oldest Gallery on the Eastern Shore. Willie Crockett was PROLIFIC in the creation of the town artisan structure. Don't believe me, look on a map of Onancock. He has a street with his name on it and when he died, the town contemplated putting in a statue of him.
My father kept his boat in Kent Narrows at Sewards Marina, and we used to go to St. Michaels' a lot. What a great little getaway, not to mention dining at the Crab Shack, too!
Nice to see some of the places I have been to myself from the water. My father has lived in Chesapeake Beach since late 1989 and we have gone to most of these places when I am in the area visiting.
@@taoliu3949 When employers hire immigrants on visas for lower wages instead of paying locals a living wage, several negatives arise: Depressed Wages: Local wage levels can stagnate or drop due to cheaper labor competition. Exploitation: Immigrant workers may face poor conditions, longer hours, or threats of deportation. Local Unemployment: Fewer job opportunities for local workers, leading to unemployment or underemployment. Erosion of Standards: Worker rights, safety, and benefits may be compromised as employers cut costs. Social Tension: Job competition can create resentment, increasing xenophobia. Economic Impact: Lower wages for locals reduce consumer spending and harm local economies. Lower Work Quality: Cheaper labor may result in less qualified workers and reduced productivity. Reputational Risk: Companies may face backlash for perceived exploitation or unethical practices.
FL sailor that keeps a 42 ft. sloop in Rock Hall MD: The Chesapeake may be the best place to hone your sailing skills in the world. It is beautiful and there are obstacles everywhere - above and below the waterline. Powerboats on autopilot, crab traps, sailboats, container ships, shoals, beacons, buoys, lighthouses, Annapolis on the weekends, etc. Don't like the weather? Wait an hour. I know the COLREGs, review them regularly and enjoy practicing them - but it takes two to tango and about half the time powerboats don't dance. VHF Ch. 16 regularly entertains with fallout from their close calls. Just like docking - always have a plan B and C.
That was an awesome interview!!! Ward "Mooch" Carroll has one of the best RU-vid Channels about Naval Aviation and specifically the F-14 Tomcat. Great job on the explanation. Thank you.
Ward nails it again. I'm glad he said, "they are not stunt pilots". The term stunt pilot has little to no meaning in the aviation community. The term is aerobatic pilot. Stunts are in movies.
He flew with the Blue Angels once or twice (after having retired from the Navy). He has a video about it on his YT. But it should be obvious that he would know what the Blue Angels do, given that they're all Naval Aviators (in Ward's case, a Naval Flight Officer) and the community is relatively small.
A 'Mooch' sighting! If you guys haven't seen the new 'Blue Angels: IMAX' movie, PLEASE go see it in the IMAX theater. Do NOT wait for it to come to Prime Video. The video shown when they start discussing the 'Farvel' is actually the 'Fortis.'
Like many native Annapolitans, I feel a special connection to the blue jets having spent most summers of my youth fortunate enough enjoy the yearly Spring ritual of walking or biking to the Yard to witness the magnificent display of US naval aviation prowess!
