Novemeber 15th...last day to sail....mid 60's...very light winds ...but good enuf for sailing fiends.......

[Terri]

So after making appointment for Tuesday to be hauled out we figured one more sail! Even double checked and made sure getting hauled on Tues. at 2 pm. Call Bob for the last sail. Planning on removing sails and batteries off Twizzled after a short sail today. We all get there, stop into office to talk about shrinkwrapping and make sure they will be hauling on tues. as Norine taking a half day from work. Secretary informs us...boat is out already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We said, who ok'd this?????????????? No phone call, nada!!!!!! Secretary gave us the "i'm only the messenger" and she said but they have stuff to offload. 63 mile drive, planning on sailing...very Twizzled sailorette's!!!! So I said..we didn't bring ladder, you better find us a ladder somewhere!! Soooooo...we go to boat, take of sails, offload cushions...waiting on the batteries...the marina can do that when we come Tues. for the outboard. Deranged. And too rub salt in the wounds...owner walks by and looks up at us trying to derig boat and yell's up.. "what's taking you so long?" Somehow I think if there were 4 testicles on the foredeck instead of ovaries he wouldn't have dared made that remark! So we'll be sending the other half of winter storage fee that was due before haulout...when it's convienent for US!!!! So we finished offloading boat..stuck poor Bob on the glovebox (head/shoulders in back seat on cushions/sails..torso in front..sorta) in between us and went to dinner harborside and watched the other sailboats. hmpfh!!!!!!! Glad Twizzled going to Boston in the Spring! And to add to the day...slammed my knee on the spin. pole ...swollen and walking like Peg Leg Pete the Pirate! mortrin and bag o frozen peas as I type! Twizzled, Twizzled, Twizzled... :-)

Going to sail her up..probably mid to end of May. Want a bit warmer and better daylight window. Will join Cottage Park YC and wait till my name comes up for Winthrop YC. Where did you keep your boat when you were up here?

[Tim]

Are you going to sail Twizzled up to Boston or have it trucked? It's a great trip I took on Harmony's maiden voyage from Westbrook. Mid-April wasn't the ideal time of year, but I had no other choice.

[Terri]

Yeah, have heard of marina's pulling all kinds of stuff. Needed that last spin! Was looking at more of your "after the storm " pics..devasting! Trying to find a place for boat stuff in house now..miss not having a shed or garage. Raining here off n on..good day for shuffling and organizing stuff i guess. Thank you on the pic compliment! Terri

Yeah ..we have a boat yard down here that does stuff like that on a whim...I think its because the owner has been sniffing paint and solvents so long ...his mind is permanently jacked ....hes a nice guy some days ..other days ..katy bar the door ...if he didnt like MOST of us from the yacht club and give such great deals on yard fees ..we probably would bite the bullet and have to haul out near the Houston area or over in Lake Charles, LA. There just arent any other local options available in these parts! The good news is ...we live in the SOUTH ...and theres no need to haulout for the winter ...in fact ..we like sailing when it gets a lil frisky out there ...Sorry you didnt get to take that last spin Teri ....but it will be splash time again before you know it! ;)=

[Terri]

Just called marina....told the guy we're coming down for o/b & batts today (only about the 4th time i've said this..just in case!?) and since they yanked boat before haul date..I'll be needing hose run all the way to boat so it can be washed today and o/b run dry of gas. Woke up fired up! ##$%!! as my friend said..ought oh...slovakian gypsy blood boiling...

[___/)ances With Sails]

"instead of ovaries": ye shouldnt beat yerself up like that -OR with th spinnaler pole. Since it too far for me to take ye sailin, I just have to keep thinkin about ye. Certainly havent stop dreamin about 'cha!
