What does it mean, you may ask?

Not really sure why it's prohibited after sunset.

When is a Haul Out Necessary in a Boat Inspection?

A haul out is necessary when a thorough inspection is required. A haul out basically involves removing the boat from the water so that the marine surveyor Annapolis has a complete view of the haul; including the bottom. While it attracts an extra fee, a haul out can be requested for almost all types of marine surveys.

Pre-Purchase Surveys: Necessary to inspect the hull, keel, and underwater fittings, revealing structural issues or damage not visible when the boat is in the water.

Insurance Surveys: Required by insurance companies to assess the hull's integrity and determine the vessel's risk profile.

Damage Surveys: Essential after incidents like grounding or collisions to assess and document damage to the hull and underwater components.

Routine Maintenance: Regular haul outs help identify wear, corrosion, and other potential issues during safety inspections.

Haul outs allow for a comprehensive inspection of a vessel's underwater parts. If you need an accredited marine surveyor in Annapolis for a comprehensive marine survey, get in touch with Suncoast Marine Surveying at (410)-988-2552.

HAUL OUT AND A RED BOTTOM

Wait you had autism and still got along with the other kids and knew what was going on with them?? I was never able to do that! I still chose to do my own thing but would have been unable to answer those questions.

I mean I didn't really WANNA make friends for a super long time so it didn't really matter? And if anyone was outright mean I don't think I noticed till like 6th grade.

After 6th a few other kids liked to throw or kick things at my face or steal my art supplies or give me mean nicknames- I remember almost all the boys in my class one year started a thing where if I got within 4 feet of them they'd yell "[tea] GERMS!" and make a dramatic mad-dash escape, and that was kinda hurtful, but IDK how long that was a thing??

Anyhow I started asking them if they had a crush on me or if they were just stupid, and when they asked what I meant I'd just be like "well there's two reasons boys act stupid around girls. Either you have a crush on me, or you're just always this stupid"

And that invariably led to them yelling "I'm stupid, I'm stupid!" or telling me, "I'd rather say I'm stupid than say I like you!"

Which might have been hurtful if I wasn't growing into a mild superiority complex that assured me I was smarter than them, and nicer than them, and there was really no need to desire the approval of stupid, mean people.

(This was, of course, backed up by the fact that my father was one of those mean, stupid sorts of people, and I fully beleived if I could handle him, I could handle anyone my size, and so what if you dont like me? My own dad doesnt like me, am i supposed to value your opinion?)

Then by highschool I got hot, and if one of them started chatting me up I'd just be like "You wrote in my yearbook in 2002 that I was a huge loser. Why would I want to hang out with you"

And by THEN I'd met enough genuinely fun, interesting people who actually liked me that I was never around anyone who openly disliked me anyways.

Not until I started to realize I wasn't 100% a girl and cut my hair off- Then I started hearing other girls whispering to each other that I looked like a lesbian- gasp- which, again, was actually pretty funny, 'cause then I'd just tell them not to get their hopes up 'cause I wasn't available.

Then I graduated, and moved, and it turns out I'm actually kind of hot funny smart and successful, and whenever I fall into the deep deep pit of dumb ugly stupid imposter-syndrome, I remember that as mean as other kids were sometimes, their parents thought I was the best.

So anyways get fucked Gabe from ninth grade, your mom used to give me candy and bail me out of detention. I had the biggest fucking crush on your mom dude

think it'd be really cool if percy could teleport using water. just needing to be in direct contact with a water source to transfer from one puddle to the next. cornering monsters in damp alleyways like it's no one's business. foregoing the subway when the forecast calls for showers. crossing the ocean quicker that you can say pacific. quality content.

I think protests can be extremely effective but I think the reason more of them aren't is a lot of them are fundamentally emotional expressions and not highly disciplined actions with clear strategy and specific goals.

If I may I'd like to recommend a single player ttrpg I tried out tonight, VOID 1680 AM, a game about running a radio broadcast and building a playlist using a deck of cards and a six-sided die

Inquisitor,

I am writing this from Minrathous. We found him. We found Solas. Or, we found a pretty damn good lead.

When it comes down to it, I'll do my best. I'll try to reason with him, but I fear we may need you, Freckles. You may be the only one he'll hear.

I'll write again when it's done, and in the meantime, take care of yourself. We all love you. Never forget it.

It's Valentine's day! You there, browsing the tag. Have you ever thought 'I like Nick Valentine, but I wish he starred in two novels lovingly written in the prose style of a detective noir from 1943, and so help me God, I don't want to pay a cent for it?' No! Nobody has! What an unusually specific dream!

But it's too late, I've already written them.

More than that, I've filled them with art, too.

If this sounds like something you'd like, you can find the full series (the two books and two small side stories) here.

trying to figure out if the continued nausea is related to intense stress and travel schedule or something simple like food poisoning or an infection
