Re: What I did with my boqt this weekend.
Also friendly suggestion on your platform . . . don't forget to check the mounting blocks on the inside of the stern. Are they wood or stainless steel? If wood, replace with stainless steel (prefered) or new wood.

Re: Ship's clock
I don't have a clock on my boat.
When boating, we tell time by when the sun comes up and when it goes down. Full moons are considered extra daylight!
