Not sure if you have looked at the calendar yet, but its almost August, and dang that went by fast. Kinda like a good movie, or binging Breaking Bad. Its goes fast, while winter lingers on like any clock in a class room. You know the one…

In yesterdays story Woody Boater Cynic Charlie left a comment that sadly rings kinda true, True if you see the world falling apart, and adopt the "Kids these days view of the universe" Here it is regarding the 25 Continental for sale feature. "Cheer…

First, isn't it great that we are arguing about boats again, and not vaccines and masks? Yes! Like a good family squabble. And I thank all the folks that teamed up to make the Red Cobra Red again. Now, let's get a little deeper into the…

My email was on overdrive yesterday from pals sending me this Rob Report article on Young people snapping up Vintage Wooden Boats. Link at bottom of the story. So if you want to skip my missspelled babblethon, scroll down. Then scroll past…

I was on the phone yesterday with Bill Basler for about an hr, and we were reminiscing about when and why Woody Boater started and the way it worked WITH the CCABC. You may be surprised by our family connection. Originally the Boat…

This year, marks 20 years of living under the cloud of terrorism. Tomorrow, the 11th is a day I personally will never forget, nor will any of you. How do we honor that day? This weekend? Do we go to church, be sad? Stay indoors. NO! That…

As someone that deals with hurricanes on a semi regular basis, my heart goes out to you all up there. Hopefully here all of us that experience this can help you feel better and a tad bit more prepared and weed through the news hype. Here…

This is a little something that has noodled my noodle for years. I think I have even done stories on it. I am scratching my noodle about it. Regardless, of the past. We now have a printed proof that in fact it is a SPORT! The term hobby…

It's the big weekend July 4th, and sadly even though I own 5 boats, and 8 docks, the idea of being out on the water with all the crazy's is not a good idea. Boating is a calming escape from the crazyness of humanity. And lately it's gotten…

Well, that sure was an interesting and engaging week. And of course like anything on the internet, just alot of back and forth but no real conclusions. But I did detect some trends. For better or worse, you are kinda are a focus group, and…

I know to many of you, all you want from me is boats, boats and more boats. Me too! BTW, not #MeToo, me as well. But also life in Woodyboaterville does not just run on Varnish and Mahogany alone! WHAAAAAAAAAT? Ya, I am distracted by many…

Well, this is all coming to a climatic moment tomorrow. Regardless of who wins, sadly we are all going to lose. Most of DC is boarded up expecting the worst, and most metropolitan areas are on guard. We are a country sadly divided. So, in…

One of the side effects of being in an endless summer like we are this year, is now weekend is special anymore. Its just all one more day mushed up in warm days, sunny days, cool days and so on. And now well, if you watch the news, or don't…

A hug! Thats right, our woody boats have something many new boats don't have. A SOUL! Thats right. I aint nuts. Okay, I am nuts. Each boat even made on the same day by the same people are unique. They feel different, and behave differently.…

Oh boy, this is gonna be a razors edge of a story. I hate the division in our country and also hate politics. Both sides. I get it, living in DC for 4 Generations. I see it as a business. I know government workers who work their asses off.…

It's okay, this isn't a political story. It's about the stress relief a boat ride can accomplish. What is going on around the country is horrible, yet in a strange way sadly predicable. Never mind the subject of it all please. When the pandemic…
