Nothing like a wood roof with shingles this sailorette says! and a fireplace is a necessity!

Oct 30, 2009
Terri

I'd put up with the balsa on a Gozzard.... how's the roof going? hope still attached to the walls...it howled yesterday. A few boat's at my marina were losing their canvas. Was 72d though...made for pleasant (if u can call it that) offloading. Will hopefully (lighting candels as i type) sail this coming weekend and take sails off sunday afterwards. I have barnicle's in my galley thru hull i think. will wait for haul out to tend to. did paint them, but maybe not far enuf in. geesh...always sumthin

Nov 1, 2009
Terri

Holy smokes! And I was all a twizzle over possible barnicles in my thru hull.... alway's sumthin with them dang boats!!!! Good u got your roof fixed though. ttyl..need coffee

Nov 1, 2009
Terri

Nov 1, 2009
Terri

Woke up just now thinking about seacocks & barnicles...geesh!!! Still twizzled I guess, boat named well! If the sun is out on sat /sun planning on sailing both days, taking sails off after sailing sunday..finger's crossed. If u want to sail both days let me know in a few! Capt. Twizzled

Nov 2, 2009
Terri

LOL, not that hearty of a sailor...if I had the Gozzard or a reasonable facsimile thereof...sure..I'd be out all nite. Don't have chartplotter, would be too much of an adventure! We'll be driving down both days, then she'll be going to Boston in the spring. Bob & Dave may come also. Will be a chilly sail..but have to go out again..or will be whimpering till May! :-) Should be a blast!

Nov 2, 2009
Terri

Nov 2, 2009

Nov 2, 2009
Terri

Lol, underroo's, underarmour..whatever works! I think mine are called "chili peppers", "hot peppers"...dunno..some kinda peppers.. do work tho. Will keep u posted...finger's crossed on the weather...looks good so far.

Boat next to us is a Cabo Rico 38...guy selling it in the spring...too much boat for him (near 80yrs), I said mine wasn't enuf boat for me... "let's trade!"..didn't go for it. drat! What a boat and kept up well too! sigh..groan... :-)

Terri

Would take an awful lot o' butter, plus end of season. He's at the ritzy yc next to mine....I think they'll shoot us in the kneecaps if "we" wander as far as their parking lot :-) Will have ponder a bit on this....good at pondering in the winter

Did you sleep well??? :-) Slept 8 hours, apparently need a "puckering" moment to induce sleep..lol. Next boat>>>> http://www.westsail.org/satori.html from the Perfect Storm..interesting site

Apr 25, 2010
Terri

Agree on the practicing. Dave, Norine & I had to do MOB's and be tested to get helmsman cert. on the lake..but we should always practice. Have only hove to once in storm in BVI's, not sure how possible that would have been once the shyt hit the fan..maybe could have once we were in running position..have to replay that one in my mind..not enuf exp. with. Yes, was a good time...nobody needed stitches. :-)

Apr 25, 2010
Terri

Oh yeah, the Cabo Rico guy isn't selling I don't think..shucks. Doing all his brightwork whilst on the hard. What a boat. drat!! I did ask if he wanted to trade as he said too much boat for him. Didn't go for it.
