  • Racist old men

    Lots of non boat blather. The episode I listened to had a lot of racism. Describing Gypsies as people who cannot afford a hotel room and suggesting that a black person they met in LA should be given a bucket of chicken. These guys need a lot more diversity on their staff and need to get a clue that boating is becoming increasingly diverse in terms of gender and race.

  • Too Much Useless Gab

    4 or 5 guys depending on the show with less then 10 minutes of combined useful boating information. Unfortunate as this really could be something if there was a bit more focus on actually talking about boating issues. Hopefully they review the feedback and can adjust.

  • Is “unlistenable” a word?

    Wow. I’ve long since given up on regularly listening to this show, but I’ll occasionally listen to an episode (mostly during the winter, in an effort to scratch my boating “itch”). It never fails to disappoint.

    For example, I had to stop listening to the most recent episode (11/14/2020) 26 minutes in, because they hadn’t uttered one worthwhile thing about boats yet. Not once. It was almost completely filled with commercials, schtick, and inside jokes. It’s not worth the effort to download. ... more
