This has absolutely nothing to do with Cape Dorys or sailing but I thought you might enjoy watching this video.

You have no idea how apropos this was as Liz and I just spent an hour looking for her keys that I had in my hand the day before.

I am not ruling out the moon, Steve.

The Artist is not born to a life of pleasure.
He must not live idle;
he has hard work to perform,
and one which often proves a cross to be borne.
He must realize that his every deed, feeling, and thought
are raw but sure material from which his work is to arise,
That he is free in Art but not in life.

NO MORE LOST BOAT

Post by Oswego John »

Heh, heh, I beat the system.

The last couple of years I have been having a problem trying to remember where I left the $%@*& boat. It was never where I thought it should be.

Because of a tip I received at the local senior citizens club, I painted the hull day-glow orange, painted the decks electric lime green and the cabin hot passion pink.

Now I don't lose it as often as before but it has paid off in a way I never thought of. Now, my boat is a super chick magnet.

Heavy on the Geritol :D

Unlike most boats, that simply remain seagull magnets.

PINK BOATS>>>>

Post by Michael Heintz »

Hey Neil,

Perhaps you should consider panting your your CD PINK.....There could be a twofold benifit......blinding color to distract the seagulls AND at the same time a "chick" magnet....

Your thoughts SIR !!!!!!

I'm thinking maybe just paint the toe rails, etc., pink and leave the white parts as is. Who needs all that pesky teak, anyway?

Can I still keep the blue dodger and sail cover?

Michael,

Since you've seen fit to lollygag this maintenance season away, totally neglecting your teak, maybe you should get a can of paint and paint all that beat up teak on Macht Nichts pink also. No need for going out and buying a heat gun and spending endless days scraping and cursing!

Chick Magnet

Post by Oswego John »

Neil,

Forget about the idea of painting Liquidity with hot, neon colors.

You didn't hear about this before. I kept this to myself because I didn't want to jeopardize your chances in the Boston Harbour Race.

I was going to enter along with other CDs, but two years in a row the committee wouldn't accept my application. They maintained that my boat was "Too Suggestive".......

.......and it was Banned In Boston. :D

Talk about discrimination. Sheesh.

How do you like dem apples?
