eBay My World: uscgkatmaibay( 350)

I'm a Professional Truck Driver and a Motor Carrier Safety Director. I LOVE ships! I think I must have been born with sea water in my veins. I'm fascinated by ICE BREAKERS. Russia makes some of the Biggest and Baddest Ice Breakers in the world.

Toys, books

Miniature airplanes, ships, motorcycles, books, little copper containers.

Listening to my shortwave radio, reading, watching TV, listening to my 30 year old Sansui stereo receiver hooked up to my two pairs of Bose 301 speakers (sounds Great!).

I have a rather eclectic taste in music. It ranges from Swing and Big Band, to hard rock, classical, classic rock (I did, after all grow up in the 60's and 70's). Some of my favorite's that I like to crank up, in my car: Nickleback, Seether, Three Days Grace, AC/DC, George Thorogood

I love to watch documentaries about machinery. The bigger the better. Tanks, APC's, Heavy military vehicles, like the HEMTT. Anything on ships. Ice Breakers are the Biggest Baddest ships on the water. Russia has several Nuclear Powered Ice Breakers, that still regularly travel to the North Pole. You may have noticed that my eBay name is a USCGC (United States Coast Guard Cutter), named Katmai Bay. Prior to 9/11, I was able to arrange for a tour of the Katmai Bay, when it was in Toledo, Ohio. I was able to bring along my Wife and my Brother and his Son. I did not serve in the USCG. My dream boat would be a Cape Horn Trawler. They're no longer in business, but there are plenty of used Cape Horn's floating around. Also, the same shipyard that built the Cape Horn's, is still in business and now build their own brand of Expedition Yachts. These yachts are exceptional. They're built like tanks. Self righting and no furniture flying around, if do go Tsunami surfing!
