here we go

I'm going to pick up Cher tonight!  See y'all downa shore!!!!

N.S.C.

stands for No Sailing Content. Just a humorous true story with a picture to go with it. First the picture.



So we were driving down Comm Ave. just outside of Kenmore Square (me, Rosemary, Maggie - old friend from Drew, and her partner Barbara) when I saw this Huge Marmaduke-like great dane in a "new beetle" convertible. So I say to Rosemary (who is driving) "get next to them so I can take a picture!". So we are stopped at a red light and the dog is looking away so I go "Doggie! Doggie! Yoo Hoo!!!" so he will look over, and I snap the picture. Next thing I know, the driver rolls up the windows, and we are like "Huh?? Why'd he do that??"..

So off he goes and then emphatically throws us the middle finger.

Now we are really intrigued and start chasing him down Comm Ave. at which point he turns on the winshield washers and proceeds to drench himself and doggie. At which point we are busting a gut laughing. Next thing he puts the top up. Now he seems to be pulling over to park and we are alongside again and he rolls down the window and says ... "Get away from me you FREAKS!"

I swear everyone in Boston is nutty.

No Fear

it's more likely that she has attached a bicycle/paddlewheel aparatus on the stern so that she can get a workout while she sails.....

A New Name....

....for a new boat: Kaigan. This Japanese word means, according to my sources, both "coast" or "beach" and "enlightenment" or "spiritual awakening." It made a great deal of sense to me that the two should go together. (And I need hardly add that Emma approves.)

So Commodore Linda: What do we need to be afraid of? Did you buy an outboard engine?

Be Afraid

With all the new boats I had to do something to maintain my competitive edge.

New Racing Results

The Harbor Sailboats Capri 22 June series is in the books! While past series have been subject to exhaustive (some would say exhausting) analysis, this time we'll just let the official results page do the talking. We'll make this one comment, though: When you get to the photos page, note that the winning skipper's shirt proclaims him a proud member of the Maris Stella Yacht Club and Crabbing Society!

Fleet

Once Stu gets "Sunny II" we will have enough boats to qualify as an official Sunfish Fleet!!
