darn, there go my hopes for getting my numberr on some scuzzy bathroom wall-guess i'll go to plan b lol....i'm at the laundry mat in avalon feeling like real tourist. i'm really enjoying just gettin away. i think i'll be ok i'm gonna ask vessel assist for a jump tomorrow and see if that fixes my engine problem. i put some good glue on the sail tear and will break down and get out needle and sail thread tomorrow and do a sew job over the glue job-that should work and then maybe head home on thursday. btw-have you heard of a guy named kenneth in san diego-i met him 2 yrs ago when i was going to mexico and i was anchored in mission bay. he helped me with some stuff on the boat and actually sailed to ensenada with my son and i. we lost touch and i wonder how hes doing?
steve and co came by to see how things were going and i was working on my sail---i hope it works this time it seems like i should withstand a hurricane with tape and glue and contact cement. no engine i guess i'll figure that out when i get home. i'm in no hurry so worst case sinerio i sail on jib only which is fine unless i'm in shipping lanes and there is a freighter....what are the chances. please tell kenneth hi,i often wonder how he is, he got a new boat last i saw him.
i decided to come in to cabrillo marina instead of redondo and it was fine my sail repair held up well. i got in here at 330 left avalon at 930. still dont haveengine running maybe tomorrow thanks for your help---btw the sail that tore was bought last year from kellys used sails. i'm just low on funds now cant buy things for the boat. good luck on your repairs maybe we can meet some day.
i noticed you mentioned on your profile you have a boat in santa barbara? i just had the greatest week! left redondo on my friends boat late last sunday night for santa barbara. she has a catalina 36. santa barbara was really nice. ive never sailed north past malibu so it was all new coastline. we really had a great time spent a little time in santa barbara and ventura. have you seen kenneth to say hi?
not sure about the bird thing but i remember he liked the birds and used to stand out on his boat and feed them.
wow you must be soooo excited about a new engine formosas are soooo beautiful-your a lucky girl. is fish harbor near al larsons? i stayed at al larsons for 3 yrs. i loved it they became family. maybe when you get your motor installed and running youll cruise on up to redondo, you can anchor in our harbor free for several days 5 or 7 i'm not positive-----i'm loving your blues as i type! good luck with engine!
Thanks for the invite Zeehag, Very sexy page!!! Sounds like you have some "searous" work ahead of you!! Are you physically do all the hands on work yourself?? I wish you luck, I've been there, it never seems to end. But when it does, "Wow" is how you will feel. At least that's how I felt.
Where the heck is warmspott, trollville??? I know where the warmspott is but, where's Trollville? :-) I guess if I don't know, than I must still be in the process of trying to slow the sloop down. :-) I'm up here in NE waiting for global warming so I can have a few extra months of sailing. Maybe than I'll find Trollville!!
I love finding the humor in life, it sets us apart from the land dweller.
I was asked one day from a LD "Why do you guys like going so slow in a boat with so many ropes", I simply said because I can.
He didn't get it, oh well.
Sail fast and live slow. Great chatting with you last night.
Chat soon,
Capt Jac
Happy new engine Zee, Hope all goes well for you. Spring if finally coming to Iowa, Splashed my Sprit 23 yesterday, after only getting the main sail on, had to try it out. Soo goood to be back on the water.. I see you are on chat, but I can't think and type at the same time, so will just say Good Luck and Happy New Engine. gary
Didnt get to boat,,,family came and motivated me to work. Figures,,,landlubbers,,,,all they know is work,,,lol,,,soon though,,,and next time I go to boat, this house will be th furthest thing from my mind.
The fish, caught trolling under sail, sorry the kid drives it, too many people@the annapolis boat show'08, the viewofTurkey ShootRegatta@yankee point Fall'08.
Its like yer boat, it gets him excited, its better than video games, and you have to work on it to get something out of it, but what you get is one helluva ride.
Hey Oakland Cheerleader, self administered therapy is the best kind, teach your children well, he(Nathan) also does well at the helm, look at Barry Long's site on Sea Knots .He builds small wooden gaff rigs.
hi! we are very interested in you upcoming trip -- Memorial Day. tell us more: where to meet; we only know Monte, so who are the others, are they at Slidell or Madisonville; are ya'll caravaning from Slidell to Ship Is. and then beyond; are ya'll all sailboat folks or are there some powerboats; anything else you can tell us? thanks for the invite and, if weather ok, might be able to go. we weren't that excited about Ship Is. some people told us that Horn Is. much better. what do you think? gina

I's gots me hands full, girl. Shouldnt be too long. Remodel has progressed quite well, however. Bought th FOR SALE sign yesterday. Gotta pay fer th boat somehow, and next years insurance premium. Wish like hell I could ve buddy boated with yall -how that wouldve been an adventure in a half. Dont expect me to leave till Nov. (but ye never know)I did take her out Memeorial day weekend, with weather from the port and then starboard bow. I did well to muster the sidewards rain and warding hail. More interesting was keeping one of five guest (hardly crew) biting the bit. Nothing like in-yer-face-experience, Aye? Love yer pics of the shoreline. That is the ambience I seek -Southern Coastal dwellin's. Hope when I do leave I make around Fla. w/o fallin in love (with an abode or croele chick-ory). The further yall get the further I feel behind. But the excitement only escalates sippin on the this wine. keep publishin dem pics of the swamps and perhaps some locals. Their lines tell stories of past that fightin to live. Tell bubba to steady th lee bow now. dont want no excuses why yall cant get out of th Keys. LOL
Our legs'll cross soon enough(phil knows what I mean, lmao).
Zee,be sure to post pictures of you and Phil....would be nice in MEETUPS GROUP., Be glad Bubba is with you...I am trying to keep my Monet alive...she is not eating..only 11 yrs old. We don't know y shes in trouble...we suspect poison. Be safe you two and careful.
hmmm...good q...how big of a critter is yer boatkat? usually PIR will sense a fairly large being...a big raccoon might set it off....kinda borderline with a cat...we'd have to test it, most likely...where is your boat located? Are you in TX?
yup, Maine coon cats are huge...i'm familiar with them...we are going to be testing a boat at Ballena Harbor in Alameda, CA this month that has a live-aboard cat...I will keep you posted on our results!!
I can just imagine. Im sooooo ready to live the preoccupied life. I went down to see the nieghbor today and offered a barter, I BBQ if he helps me finish this house. He aggreed!
Hey girl! Heard from Bill about the weather and you're back in ft meyers..stay safe...buy more chocolate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! going to bed..tty in am... nite nite. sweetie, say hi to Phil and give Bubba (probably hiding..lol) a pat for me!
Well the diagnosis from my sailing friend is .....he thinks i bruised a lung. Heat now after 48 hours and if not better in 24hours....im turning myself in...to the dr. Yep, what a sailing season so far!!!! :-)
Shallow breathing, trouble lifting (opening window etc) & talking, can't get up without severe pain from lying down positition...?spasming right side...relief when standing. Slept better last nite...feeling an improvement today..did ice for 48h, heat last nite. Muscle relaxant in p.m., motrin q4h now. think rib pushed into lung. Slight bruising.
Hi! I hit the stern rail, not hard..was going for that extra 2" of length to grab back of o/b. Had a cracked rib once..know what it feels like..not this. I think bruised lung at the worse, maybe just bruised rib and overlaying muscle. Feeling a bit better today, just don't want to breath toooo deeply..LOL I will be safe...if i didn't improve today was gonna make the call. thank you! how are u guyz doing?? raining here today..again. taking Twizzled out sunday..with crew, i'll be sitting on a tufted pillow "observing" :-( Take care! Capt. Twizzlement
Hey pirate girl! Had xrays..nothing broken. They think maybe pinched nerve/bruised. I'll be ready for the 4th now that right one feel's like it's glowing in the dark and spinning like a pinwheel...whoooohoooo!!!! Have a great 4th...don't know what i'm doing but hoping to be doing something! :-)
Well there is good news! Friends went to Twizzled today and took out one port that was leaking and fixing. Also ordered the remote shift/throttle and will put in. Think i'm gonna make a move and go get dark chocolate..heard "somewhere" that it's good for bruised ribs.. hehehe
Not only Boats Z but homes are now undervalued...My house is not worth what it use to be...It's sad...Also I heard our dollar will be worth much less too. What use to cost $1 will take $3 for example...that is suppose to come. I am looking at car rentals...$46 perday...even on Priceline...going to out of state wedding.
Going sailing Sat weather permitting, with a new Meetup..member in my town..Brad
girl hows that yacht coming along?? have you been able to take her out yet? are you able to dinghy over to any of humphreys concerts-----tonight is george!!! wish i had a boat there! went over to catalina for the 4th and again the 18th isthmus cove was actually full the 18th i have to grab mooring cause im afraid if i drop my hook i wont be able to get it up again! hope your enjoying summer maybe we will meet up one day.
