The Cape Dory Board

Speaking as one of the fuzzies, I can attest to the verity of this fuzzible report. The fuzziness was pervasive, I am most happy to report. Having been appropriately fuzzified by this great reunion,
I'm also glad to note that the warm fuzzy feeling is still with me!

not credible at all Warren. If true, this kind of nitpicking is a total waste of time and if the CG kid was that wet behind the ears to pull a stunt like that, USCG at various levels should be informed. There should be a rule of reason in force, especially considering the important tasks USCG is cha...

Many hearty congratulations Clay! Glad to see you back and spending "boat units" - the boating industry needs every bit of income it can get!!!! Let us know where you wind up with a mooring so we can come and bother you - There are two SS28's in Stonington harbor and they are beautiful boa...

was during a National Georgraphic show of a bathyscaphe visit to the world 10,000 feet below sea level, recording the marine life near a hot lava outflow on the seabed.....

Perhaps Cousteau could be persuaded to conduct this ensemble, featuring perhaps a sea anemone as soloist?!

clearly the "fender" is in the process of being deployed: once it's hanging vertically, the way it's supposed too, all will be well (and the fair lady's smile indicates this is about to happen, if the boat's cap'n just gooses the bow thruster a wee bit to port)..... one just has to be sure...

Fred, that is just fantastic stuff. You are doing a real service to all cruising sailors and providing immense material for thought not to mention vicarious enjoyment. I've sent the links to all my cruising sailor friends and am really just thrilled to see what you have been doing. Please tell me wh...

Scott, I'm VERY glad you're OK and that you got home with such minimal damage, aside from being shaken up by the difference between "reality" and "perception" under those conditions. Shorelines at night can be a nightmare........ Even with our limited cruising I find radar a nece...

Clay, you are VERY welcome aboard "Alphee" anytime!!! Stonington isn't a bad drive from where you are and there are plenty of times when the "little woman" prefers to be at home, so a partner for a cruise to Narr. Bay, Block or Cutty will definitely be welcome. There's plenty of ...

I've tried to find you Mike on the Amazon booksellers' list..... and haven't been able to do so despite your posting your ID earlier..... mebbe I'm missing something on the Amazon site to find you>? Any suggestion would be appreciated, would like very much to check out your book situation there :D B...

for the disaster and above all thanks to you for sharing the experience so vividly and being willing to let us know about lessons earned the very hard way...... sympathies and heartfelt best wishes to have you sailing again soon!

Or, as the famed boatbuilder Harvey Gamage put it when asked to explain how he knew exactly where to find a leaking garboard, he huffed,

"Danged if'n I unnerstand all I know!"

Speaking as one such cork, Steve, I have to agree with you!
And there were times when my cork's engine wasn't up to the task out there, but that's often the way of life among us corks.

I hope, Neil, Warren, it's Pim's Cup Number One! (Pim's Cup #2 is SAE 30 and doesn't go down as smoothly as #1) Carter, you are inspirational, MeBoy! The sounds of the maelstrom sucking in unwary boats loom ever larger and louder, as I read your list of precautions - "Beware, Ye Who Enter Here!...

This is the famous "COINCIDENZA DI COLUMBUS AVENUE" documented in song and dance by the Veulveu Sisters from Steuckheulm...... lots of pickled herring, smoked whitefish and yes, even seulmen brought in by the Fighting Fishermen of Treumseu, Norway, went through those fine sister machines t...

I dunno if we can make it waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down there for the Fourth, but it may be something to behold! I hope there will be live streaming video available on the Sports Channel....... in any event I would have to refit the 24 pounders on the main deck, as the Royal Armoury has a new cast ir...
