Lou,
Sorry I didn't latch on to this discussion earlier. I'm now on my second O'day (a 322, after having started with a 272), and I think you'll find that you can get some great coastal cruising out of an O'day in good shape. Don't be bummed beca...
Of course Margaritaville is on the list. Comfortably Numb, Brown Eyed Girl, Blue Bayou and Sweet Home Alabama. too many to list but these are always crowd pleasers. We also do Sloop John B, gotta learn Tequila Sunrise though.
Mea culpa, Bella. I've been a ba-a-a-ad boy; this is the first time in well over a month that I've visited the O'day corner on SeaKnots. Glad I finally got off my bum to change that status quo. Now I have to get back to the boat and start the drea...
The O'day rOnDAYvous managed to capture the news media's attention. Newsday, the Long Island daily, covered our get-together on Monday the 13th, in an article by boating reporter Bill Bleyer (himself the owner of an O-31).
Here's the link. If the...
I've been a sailor and boat owner since 1997, and currently sail an O'day 322 out of Newport Marina in Jersey City, NJ. I'm New York City born and raised, but currently living in Monmouth County, NJ. Counting down the years till I can leave my job and the coastline behind for who-knows-where. For me, music and sailing go hand in hand (the guitar goes where I go). C'mon over for a visit, if you get a chance.
wow... it's coming up... I'm excited.... I won't be bringing the boat though. Hope you'll print up some lyric sheets so we can sing along to your tunes...
Great song, yer "Buttefly." Aint it somethin how expressions of the smallest things, the most vulnerable, life of a lower order seem th grandest. Powerful!
I wanna be a better song writter. Oneday I'll work on that at anchor.
Hey Pete! Sorry havent commented on yer audition in the group till now. Had to get some internet issues resolved. Upon reading yer song, I imagined the ride at Disney world "It's a small world", and when I finally got to listen to yer MP3, I related to Puff The Magic Dragon song. Both are good things. Damn good things to me for I find them both spitual moments.
Thanks for yer contributions and takin me back to another place and another time.
Ive been playin the violin like a fiddle, was takin lessons, till life pinched me, but still practice what I know and would love to be able to play when Im supposed to. LOL.

beautiful tune...thanks ! keep em comin" ! (and at least we can stay hello yet another evening !... those stars are my fav ~ the pleiades sisters !
Hey Pete, Thanks for the comments. I just finished replacing all the glass. The last two were the bent ones, ( head, aft berth) I only paid $200.00 for both so i was happy about that. Rudy at D&R Marine told me that he has a brand new top covered glass for the capanion way. It only has a very small knife cut in it, so he can't sell it new. Might be able to pick it up cheap. I don't know if you know Rudy, he worked at O' Day for a number of years and when they went out of business he bought alot of the molds and parts for the O' Day's
Hey Pete,
Send me your phone #. I'm not sure if I will have my e-mail on the trip. I raced a Hobie 16 with the Sandy Hook Cat Club a few summers ago and love the area. I'm sure we'll be in touch if I make landfall. :-)
Hi Pete,
I'm starting to like those aperitifs,,,,though I'm not as much of a dog lover, which causes strife with me and my husband. Maybe if I could find a little 10 pounder who didn't shed I'd join the puppy on board crew. Nice slide show.
