In a captivating photo essay, cazalea explores the vibrant and often testosterone-fueled world of marinas. His original post, "Marinas are Mainly for Men," offers a unique perspective on the powerful machinery and distinct culture found at these aquatic hubs. This article delves into cazalea's observations and the community's reactions, highlighting the diverse vehicles and lifestyles that converge in these fascinating environments.


Reeking with testosterone... smelling of gasoline, sparkling with chrome




More horsepower than anyone needs



"Oh, the four motors are just for safety out on the open sea if one has problems..."





Sir, may I point out that off-roading trucks are essential for boaters (otherwise you lose points in the pecking order)




If you have to go electric, this is a nice-looking choice.





Two-wheelers for off-road.









Rare appearance of girls on motorized bike



Lots of metal around here, mostly stainless or carefully painted.





Lurking Law Enforcement: Surplus? or Active?





Global law enforcement 









Reconn



The discrete command center, perhaps?





It's not all work, there is some play going on around here





Some fuel being extravagently burned





But some people are on the job operating heavy machinery.





We watched for 10 minutes to see them position the sling under a boat, only for them to lift it an inch or two out of the water, then he shut down the crane and went away. Boo!





Are trucks today fatter than they used to be 50 years ago? 





I would say so.




Not your grandfather's Lexus





At least it's not all trucks on the Island at the moment.





Thank goodness imports are welcome here too






Thanks for watching.



Hysek today.





Yeah!

I have two Hysek watches (if you count this as 1) that is, I have 3 movements, 2 watches. Here is the mechanical movement watch The Hysek design is very cool but the downside is the proprietary rubber strap. Mine has broken twice - rubber rot. The replacement was about 300 CHF but was New Old Stock so didn't last 2 years, so the watch now looks like this as I cobbled together a silicone strap solution: And here is the 2-quartz movements time zone watch Frame is hinged in the middle HERE'S ANOTHE
