i've got it Mariner's revenge by the Decembrist

we should get this posted in the thread

yesterday we had a storm come up while we were out on a cruse and i had the long rang transmitter so i was on the radio constantly with the fleet and the camp as we were anchoring and battening down. after that i couldn't end a sentence without saying "over"

a burgee would be a great idea

wow things are getting busyer

these threads though good intended always seem to back fire

practice and firefox

going to get Chinese in a minute

yeah i have day off today and we just got done with our rain

nope none at this moment

i'll have to check NOAA

just had to move our boats back from the marina we had put them when bertha came up

check a junk yard or in a boat yard that has a lot of abandoned boats

night ken

what the hell is with the tats and piercings thread? sometimes i wonder where y'all are going with some of this stuff

only 15 that i have to live with

15 out of over a thousand campers....that i deal with every day

what ever

then mine would be constantly changing...i listen to all diffrent kinds of stuff depending on my mood

i've got 15 this session

i think we were talking different forms of heavy

maybe something orchestral...http://youtube.com/watch?v=G68Xa1WYzQI

24 hours a day with the exception of 1 short night off (about 10pm till 12:30 am) 1 long night (6:30 pm till 12:30 AM) 1 day off and one lunch leave (12:30 pm till 2:30)

the album version isn't as heavy...i think it's partially due to the effects for the video

good to be on while everyone else is

http://youtube.com/watch?v=gISlB1IdUjI i like this song but i don't think i could just pick one

darn sunfish

i need about 50 of those

how's it going

some of these kids drive me up the wall. and then again all the little boats seem to think it fun to play in front of the 13 ton one

none...............only because it's against my contract

if you can post some pics i may be able to help you figure it out

you should have seen it yesterday though... we heeled over so hard we submerged the wench on the side of the cockpit

i wish the wind could make up it's mind...

happy B-day!

hey guys! hope y'all are doing well! i just got made captain of the flag ship of our sailing fleet so i've been doing a lot of sailing lately...as soon as i can get some pics i'll post em'

it's not our school club it's the local club/sailing foundation

this year the CSC (carolina sailing club) has suffered from a string of thefts. we have lost our flags, automated whistle system and just recently i got an e-mail telling me that the club dink had been stolen... the sad thing is that we are a foundation not a yacht club

auto bailer-- valved hole in the bottom of the boat used to fill vessel with water so that you can conveniently wash it while on the water

got this one from a book

Bar-- usually awash and made of sand when at sea and of dark wood like mahogany when on land. sailors can be found in large numbers around both

wish i had more time to keep up with everyone too.

Hey Rya, lets see some photos under sail

hope i find everyone in high spirits of one kind or another

boom- used when gybing to shift crew to permanent horizontal position

bunk- nautical lore

good so far, but it's too early to tell. we're only finishing up the first week of the session

looks like things have been slow lately

morning! it has been a while since i could wish everyone that

wasn't this about pirates to begin with? i mean i know we go on tangents a lot but this one went off quick and way off

i told my campers that i wasn't allowed to jump off the boat any more because last time i sunk atlantis

i guess my time off scheduled is just poorly timed

starter camp ended today and i'm enjoying some r&r

drift and lee or weather helm are caused by poor trim of the sailing vessel. correct trim is hard to hit due to its many variables. you must take into account the balance of the boat, the center of effort, center of lateral resistance, and the chines (hard or soft chined). usually the reason the rudder is turning is that the vessel is trying to move in a certain direction and the rudder, if left alone, shifts to reduce the created resistance

Camp is good....the kids.....................they're idea of morning seems to conflict with mine

hi y'all

this summer is full out at seagull, but we're always looking for staff for the weekends and later summers. you'll have to get a license to captain the big boats, but if you don't mind small boats like lightnings and sunfish or having to take care of 10 kids you'll love it. if you want to look at getting a job here check out the website www.seagull-seafarer.org

we're selling a lightning and a few sunfish

as for our fleet see the boats i have listed as "work on"

i'd do it if i was 21

most of the boats are done even the ones that are being sold out of the fleet. we only need to splash a few more boats and get our assignments

Ahoy there from camp seagull! hope everyone is doing well this morning

things are great, i'm just taking some down time before the campers get here on sunday

thought i would make this thread so i don't have to try and keep up with everything.

Rick and Cheryl, i jumped off in georgia and my dad made it back saterday

night guys...i'll be on some time later...eventually

we don't have tv out here...at least that's what we tell the campers

TV? huh? What's that?

i haven't bothered the few times i've managed to get on

haven't seen her since she got in...i don't have another day off till the 22nd

we did stay on the boat, but we were in st. aug. for repairs and i jumped off in georgia because my mom and my sister drove down and we couldn't leave the car down there and i needed to make it to camp. my dad made it in this past saterday

for get that! the price of staying alone is enough! it cost us $500 just to stay in st. aug for 2 nights

what size boat are you looking for and what kind of sailing do you want to do with the boat

i'll see what i can do for them

i'll have to wait till the end of the summer

think he's looking for something simpler, scott

been putting that hat to good use...it's gone for a swim and faded already

staff training right now and work week was last week. the campers don't get here till monday...at least the starter campers

just seeing if there is any new interest out there

hey guys, nets back up in the quarter deck (staff lounge) so i should be able to get on about once a week. hope i find everyone in high spirits i've been busy repairing, moving, rigging, and painting our fleet

hey guys, eating lunch on my time off thought i would drop by and say hi, but looks like i missed the party

before i thought of you as a nuisance now you're just an ass

prop guy shut it or i will use the resources at hand and shut it for you

as for the add section i like to say I THOUGHT OF THAT A WHILE AGO!

i still can't the copper taste out of my mouth from painting lightnings today

had to jump off midway through gerogia to make it to camp

to get the general idea read the thread "just popping in"

i hope your first cruise goes better than mine did earlier this year

lol! connie you're weekend sounds like my past 2 weeks

it's a mess and no matter how politely we tell them or how rude we are they won't leave...i've resulted to spamming their threads with stuff and just clogging it up

and more scum too

just picked up a laptop...maybe you should do the same, or you could do what i did to keep my sister off, put a password on it

and it's only $19.95

then i couldn't go beyond my street without getting electricuted

Once upon a time there was a happy little forum on a happy little web site and all of the happy little regulars were chatting away. Then one day some twit appeared and constantly tried to sell them props without really trying to sell anything (don't ask how). this made all the happy little regulars very ill and so they promptly went insane.

(ending of story coming soon...i hope)

now if you can improve the gas mileage of my car that would be great

dude, my boat can't even handle a 5 hp engine on it

for the love of god...

now it's a disease

sometimes there are threads that just need to be sunk

it's called life

hahahahahahahahha!!!!!!!!!fire! FIRE FIRE! Torpedoes, round shot, and depth charges!

whoa man! i'm triping out man!

battleships don't carny tactical nukes...and this thread is in it's site....i'm just waiting on ken's confirmation codes

target locked! FIRE!!!!!

i've resorted to using all the slag and the galley sink!!!!!!

Ken! My supplies are running low! i need ammo!

unrelenting war fare!!!!!

those are definitions and that 16th one is the original boat definition...it's word used to describe mast long before power

it's also a person who spends money they don't have

rake, verb, raked, rak·ing. –noun 1. an agricultural implement with teeth or tines for gathering cut grass, hay, or the like or for smoothing the surface of the ground. 2. any of various implements having a similar form, as a croupier's implement for gathering in money on a gaming table. –verb (used with object) 3. to gather, draw, or remove with a rake: to rake dead leaves from a lawn. 4. to clear, smooth, or prepare with a rake: to rake a garden bed. 5. to clear (a fire, embers, etc.) by stirring with a poker or the like. 6. to gather or collect abundantly (usually fol. by in): He marketed his invention and has been raking in money ever since. 7. to bring to light, usually for discreditable reasons (usually fol. by up): to rake up an old scandal. 8. to search thoroughly through: They raked the apartment for the missing jewels. 9. to scrape; scratch: The sword's tip raked his face lightly. 10. to scoop out (a masonry joint) to a given depth while the mortar is still green. 11. to fire guns along the length of (a position, body of troops, ship, etc.). 12. to sweep with the eyes: He raked the horizon with his gaze. –verb (used without object) 13. to use a rake: The gardener raked along the border of the garden. 14. to search, as with a rake: His gaze raked over the room. 15. to scrape; search: She frantically raked through her belongings. —Idiom 16. the angle of the mast compared to the perpendicular position to the deck

damn the torpedoes full speed ahead?

which definition you want? the boat definition or the other ones?

i'm a sailing instructor...i know a lot of stuff like that

FIRE!

FIRE!

FIRE!

old shiip's speak for abeam

second round port side!

well prop guy did say he wanted it posted at the top...

we have em' athwartship! OPEN FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ouch! glad you were able to get help in time

yup a good ways inland unfortunately...at least i was i'm out at the camp now

forget around here! what is normal anyways?

why are you asking this on a boating website?

actually they are controls, chris, they control the physical movement of the boat

thus the i give up

there is a rope sewn into the luff (fore edge of the sail) called a bolt rope that hold the sail in the sail track. the true definition of a line is not a rope with a job, but one that is connected to a control

that's a beautiful area...haven't been down there though since hurricane Isabel whipped Hatteras off the map

hey prop guy i just got up this morning and sat down and read all my e-mails on this thread and all i have to say is

I GIVE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i've tried to help you again and again but you just can't learn! i would say you're as stubborn as a mule but even the most stubborn mule knows when it's time to quit!

contrary to popular belief there is usually at least one rope on a sailboat, they're not all lines tomm

try and talk to y'all later tonight...maybe use this fancy computer's camera on skype. cya gotta go eat dinner with my aunt and grandfather

like i said before, i had to jump off in Georgia because i have to get to work so i'm in raleigh right now setting up my laptop so it'll be ready when i leave tomorrow

where in the outer banks are you?

personally i hate itunes and the last computer i put that on i had to wipe the hard drive to fix (problems caused by itunes)

i wonder if that prop guy is reading the thread i sent him to or if he left

http://www.theboaters.com/forums/comments.php?DiscussionID=420&page=1#Item_29

read this thread and learn from it

let me put it this way

stop just pushing it as a sales point and post it as a conversational piece. you keep pushing it like a used cars salesman

recovering from a long two weeks...still didn't get the boat back, had to hop off

we get off subject sometimes and that's what happened there. we've all had that happen to us too, but i give up. there just seems to be no reasoning with you there, prop guy. let me be honest i'm trying to help you help yourself and it's not working. we've all been here a long time and are regulars so to be honest you're asking a lot of the people who (for want of a better word) dominate the threads here to change their ways. if you want a good example look at my thread "international 470 for sale". that is a add thread that i posted for my old boat that also is part of a conversation. turn it into something like that and not just a sales pitch like this is or at least appears to be.

it would be nicer if i didn't have to put more stuff like that on my hard disk

i like that idea

don't mean to say you are, chris, i only skimed the post real quick since i don't have the time to catch up on 2 weeks on missed post and it kind of felt like that at times.

Prop guy, a friendly recomendation: try aproaching the subject like a boater and not like a salesman. I can understand where you are coming from on this but there is a better way about things here

i'm not suporting advetising, chris, only trying to keep y'all from driving someone away that may have good intentions at heart (other than trying to make a buck). i agree with ken though, there are better ways to sell your goods here and it doesn't have to be a streight add

that sounds great!

still we got a boat that in 2002 sold for $45000 in similare shape (we have a copy of the survey done on the boat) for only $14000

it's a good boat it's just that damn engine that's the problem. it runs great but the parts are a pain and the guys who sold it to us were honest but didn't know much about it. most of the later problems we found you would have found until you really started poking around in the engine.

you have to understand that we had some trouble with people clogging thev forums with stuff like this in the past. i think you should take a look at ken's post and not take it as an attack. what they're trying to say is post this stuff in a more tactful way so that it is more info than advetisement

the funny part is that they whent right through the area i navigated to get in...i guess that's what my dad gets when he doesn't have that much big boat helm time under his belt

aparently they got a good look at the bottom of the boat in the mean time

hey prop guy, i've been around here for a while now and i'm going to pass a tip on to you, don't take it persomaly we just raise hell like this sometimes. read some of the old post and there isn't a single person who hasn't been chided here and there

nope, my dad did aparently right after i got off and they got caught until the tide came back in at nine pm

we were in dallas GA on the sapelo river. no nothing really worth mentioning other than how badly marked the channels in that area are marked

hopped off the boat and i'm back in raleigh gotta go to work tomorrow

see everyone later...probably monday when i'll have to jump off early to make it to camp

why bother when you only need to bother with the first few and forget the others, ken

oh and there is a boat from ontario docked off our bow

while you're in NC don't say or get one of those stupid stickers that says "OBX" because to the locals that just like putting a big sign on your back that says you're nothing but a stupid tourist...

why is it that as soon as i finally have a computer in front of me that everyone goes silent?

welcome aboard!

i'm surprised how poorly stocked the marinas are down here, up in NC every marina has a yard, ships store, or marine suply. and ken yes i don't have the time to walk a mile to a convinence store and buy a camara when i'm already over a week behind schedual

never bother with deleting my messages

talk again later guys i've just been told i'm to go and polish the rails...as if i haven't done enough scrubing today

don't know about the manatee, laurie, but the local fisherman that was near us told us when we asked if we should report hitting it to someone that he had never seen a manatee leap clear of the water before

wish i had the time, but we're too busy and we keep forgeting to get a camera...come to think of it we keep forgeting to get binocualrs too. glad to be out of titusville though. kape kenedy yacht club had a lot of nice people (charicters the lot of them) but it's frustrating being a week behind schedual for junk like this

oh ken how 'bout you run up here and tow us to carolina beach? my dad will cook the food...

there is this one design of house boat i have seen everywhere and every time it is either wreaked, sunk, or sinking...that is till recently when i actually saw one sitting happily at a dock

i like how if you click on "i'm drowning, save me!" it comes up blank

i was in nofolk for opsail 2000 and got a chance to tour not only the eagle but her sister ship as well. a better kept ship i have never seen...that is except for the amerigo vespuchi

all the other allmand 35's we could find all had yanmars. this is the only one that had a ducati. it orgiginaly had a dm 284 (1984 2 cylender deisel) and was repowered with the ducati dm 286 which is freshwater cooled. the engine runs great but you can't get parts in the US because the marine section of ducati america no longer exist. also most mechanics don't even know anything about the engine. we're planning on keeping the engine, but once it dies we're not going to bother trying to rebuild it.

oh i forgot to put up there that we had the bottom cleaned today (it was suposedly cleaned 3 weeks ago) and had about 400 pounds of oysters removed...anyone want an oyster roast?

Hey guys i'm just popping in to see what's up! here is a quick summation of what has happened so far

day 1: monday boat is won on e-bay day 2: fly down to orlando and rent a car traveling to Titusville FL. begin sorting through boat and purchase boat day 3: begin search for water pump day 4: give up on search for water pump...jurry rigged. begin work on engine and descover bad exhast manifold elbow and buy parts to jurry rig (if you ever get a boat with a ducati engine in it just rip out the engine and get a diffrent engine because you can't find parts for them anymore) day 5: recive elbow from machinest. begine having problems with altinator day 6: problems continue day 7: problems continue day 8: second monday problem fixes self and we finnaly get under way. father performed his ritual grounding and i work boat off shoal day 9: belt begins to slip and burns up on altinator...replaced. transmistion begins to emmit wonderful noise in daytona...shut engine down. recieved helping hand from nice people at towboat u.s. call mechanic after discoverin that transmistion was oil-less. mechanic informs us to continue day 10: begin out of daytona after topping off transmision. slight hickup when manatee hit keel and rudder (scarred living daylights out of me). 9.5 miles short of st. augustine transmision blows. ride at anchor till 6 pm and recieve another helping hand from kind people at towboat u.s. day 11: waiting on delivery of new transmision at comanche cove in st. aug. and cleaning boat.

people have asked me if this has been a good father son bonding trip and to that i respond

"well...we haven't shot eachother yet"

how in hell do you say that?

headed to florida today to pick up the boat. see y'all in 10-7 days

so between my father and i we have 3 boats up for sale International 470 ($2000) Golden Hind 32': Canopus (~3000)* Palm Beach 201 white cap (~12000)*

*prices are not finalized and i am putting a preliminary estimate of what my father plans to ask for these boats

tell captain max, he has been looking for a boat in that price range

that was prior to this

HOLY MACKEREL!!!!!!

got to give credit to my mom for this one

working on it, but you know you've got to be careful about how you do these things

my mother has hijacked my hat

dolphin, tuna, spot, croaker, blues, marlin, amber jack, mackerel

yup i'm a whimp out there pulling in fish as big as i am

i'll stick to my surf and bluewater fishing

SAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stacey is going postal! Look out she's vicious!

thanks guys! now does anyone know of someone looking for a 32 foot british sloop?

sorry i can't help you with opportunities in california, i'm in north carolina. as far as pay goes, it would differ from boat to boat. beleive it or not the people who would know best would be the local yacht brokers. that's how i get my name around here for racing on big boats.

what?

going to have to sell the Canopus though...she's such a good boat

thanks scott! looks like a week sailing for me!

just won a 35 foot john allmand in florida on ebay! here's the auction page http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1984-35-Allmand-Sailboat_W0QQitemZ150243967205QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item150243967205&

two biggest causes of mistakes on any vessel 1.) Panic 2.) stupidity (everyone does something stupid at some point or another)

it all comes down to one thing people do stupid stuff, even professionals, and get themselves killed

i've seen them before but never tried it out myself

most clubs will have plenty of crewing opportunities, but not many skippering opportunities unless you have your own boat

and Jeff NC is on the east coast not the west so i don't think he'll make it out to get on my 505

we have one we put on a carousel out at seagull for a trainer, but all the ones we sail are latter vanguard built sunfish. we cycle o10 out of our fleet about every year and if it doesn't make a difference to you i would look in to them

out at the camp we have a line that's spliced to the bow ring of all our powerboats (except the joyboy since she is 62 feet) for docking, mooring, and towing. to tow with the use two rings on the transom that are bolted through it. this way even a baby whaler with a 15 can tow a 9 ton cape dory. as for non-professional towing, you should always have a bridle rigged across the transom when towing a single vessel and if your are being towed you need to have some hard fixture on the deck you can fix the line to. this is important if there is an emergency so that the receiving vessel can have a line heaved across her bow in ruff seas when a careful approach is not viable. because of the shoals along the north carolina cost, it is not uncommon to see a vessel with a bow cleat that has been added to the fore deck.

bye

perhaps you should attach it to the same place the anchor secures to

this would be much easier to figure out if i could put my hands on the boat

you could run your line over or secure it to the windlass or if it has a bow sprit that supports the anchor to the end of that

i'm not, just talking towing in general...i've towed a 9 ton sailing cruiser before as well as several power vessels of various sizes

actually on a small boat the best place is the lower mast.

had a similar experience with a jy

does your boat have a winlas

you won't believe where the hard points on a lot of the small sailboats are these days

you still have the force of it being pulled through the ring by the tow

that just makes the bow ring act like a pully (however the hell you spell it) and changes the direction of the force acting on the cleat

check for hard points that may already be built into the hull, tomm. i've seen some boats that have had them in really odd places and they are there, but the don't have a cleat or anything mounted to them.

isn't it spelled the same way? Like what you put on a horse.

i agree with rigging a bridal. even if you can tie off to one cleat you can keep both boats better under control when towing with a bridal

perhaps you don't have a fixture there but there should be a hard point in the stern some where

there is always at least 1 on the bow and 1 on the stern on every production boat out there...you can't really say anything for these little custom jobs you see around sometimes

why not go out and buy yourself a couple of over-sized washers or a plate?

and on every boat there are always 2-3 hard points where you could connect a tow line and every owner should make sure to familiarizes themselves with where they are located

been a busy day today and just got home from out of town.

try, laurie? We don't need to try...

i think my boss did something like that to me yesterday by mistake

your not going to find much in the way of new boats anywhere but at a dealer or a factory, max. i only put that up there because i didn't know that you were talking only about new boats.

look on the boatsus website, they have a lot of deals out there

"We're over taking them...Brilliant!"

the best part about doing all that today is that i'm getting payed to do it

i have no idea what stumbleupon is

spent the morning prepping boats, went tubing during lunch, and then had a great sail this afternoon...i love my job!

no hard feelings, tomm. i've hijacked so many of your threads i don't really have the right to complain anyways

camp

[IMG]http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh256/fewins4/ericson.jpg[/IMG] here is the boat we're looking at

Here's the last winner [IMG]http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh256/fewins4/boat-accident.jpg[/IMG] Charlie Johnson " You are wrong, I said turn left."

here's the next one [IMG]http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh256/fewins4/boat-jump-mishap.jpg[/IMG]

That would be priceless!

in the even of a run away diesel you have to smother it because it is running off it's lube oil, tomm, but you can usualy stop a gas engine by cutting the fuel. what i was wondering was weather or not it also filled the engine to drown any fire or cut the air supply to it

i guess none of the other sailors are on

replies to prompts

looking at an ericson 35 in boston... any one know a good place to find info on one about the same age? it's a 78'

not bothering too busy

helping my dad look for a yatch

nope just nothing to bother commenting on

see previous post...we've flogged this to death so no one's posting anymore reasons one way or the other

trim Jib! douse the chute!

this one just appears to be so more than others..maybe it's because i'm not really participating in this thread

nope..it's just that if this thread we're a person walking i would have to assume they are very drunk

if it's mechanical then it would be the connector cables. if it's electronic it would be the wiring, but there isn't much that could stop one of those. it's also possible that it is just a built in fail safe interfering with the startup. does it just smother the engine or does it also cut the fuel like a diesel shut off does

i feel as if this whole thread has just taken a massive side step

we only get any "substantial" (4-6 in.) snow once every 4 years if we're lucky

To ward away evil spirits...

78 foot carbon racing sailboat

i do other things simultaneously

it's got spell check (i just loaded it on to the drive a couple of weeks ago) but i was too far from the proper spelling for me to find it and the computer at my dad's is slow as hell when it connects to the internet

on top of that (i now run firefox off my flash drive) i was so far off that it didn't have it listed

no sound on this computer and i don't have the time to sit down and watch it all the way through

on my desk top yes...unfortunately my fancy shmancy desk top isn't connected to the internet. i have dial up at home and it doesn't have a modem so when i have to run updates i have to lug it up to my dad's restaurant. why do you think i'm trying to get a laptop

hell if i know! apparently i was running circles in the cabin screaming sailing commands at the top of my lungs and then took off into the bathroom. all i know is that i woke up staring at the soap dispenser over the sinks and my head hurt. i think i ran into the side of the stall

thanks, tomm, i was at a complete loss for that one

so where did this all come from?

just try telling her that....i'll make sure to stand way way over here

i think the only ones who will want an apology are Rya, laurie, and Stacey

i didn't whine and that's why i was about to collapse at the end of the summer. glad i learned my lesson for this past summer though...i don't want to go sleep walking and wake up in the bathroom again

forget the albatross i want a PBY catalina C or newer!

unlike a lot of the guys we've had recently i work my ass off and it was hard my first year because i had to get used to the long work days i hadn't had before. it was my fault that i was up till about 12:30 every night when i had to be up at 6:30

what? that i'm that dedicated to my major? it's what i've wanted since i was about 3. i love planes and i used to fly when my dad was a flight instructor. it's my true obsession and the only real difference between it and sailing is 90 degrees

And this is how we bait crocodiles...

after i get a PhD in Aerospace engineering maybe

no that was why the doctor at the infirmary was about to send me to the hospital at the end of my first year on staff

i don't have $5000 for the basic private pilot's license....that's part of why i sail

i've hit the wall hard before....9 weeks with only a couple of hours real sleep a night is not fun

i wish i could afford the license....

i have to eat a good breakfast to keep going the way i do

i like oranges...they prevent scurvy

Big brother?

SAIL!!!!!!!!

no not the starter cylanoid. there should be a set of cylanoids conected to the switch for the lift. if you switch those around and nothing new happens it's the wiring or the switch

agreed

hope that helps

you may have a bad cylinoid (i think that is how it's spelled) or a loose connection in the wiring. we had the same problem on our jhonson 130 on our palm beach. i take it that it is a hydrolic lift and if you look on the side of the main cylinder there should be what looks like a large screw. that is the manual release for the piston which will allow you to release the pressure on the piston and move the engine.

i may be able to help though my knowledge is admittedly limited. what do you need to know?

alright so i know it's not a boater question, but it just kind of came to mind while i was looking around at stuff

hadn't had the chance in a while so i thought i would enjoy bed

night doc. i'm up because i slept in today

only a feeling doc.
