Saturday Again

Post by Oswego John »

Well here it is again,, another extremely busy Saturday on the CDSOA board. Let me see if I can squeeze this little bit in between the heavy volume of posts.

Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft.

Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can't have your kayak and heat it too. :D

I guess that the sailing season is about over around here. Monday the municipal docks and slips will start to be taken in. There was snow (not much accumulation) just to the north of here at Saranac Lake and vicinity.

Oh well, say lah vee,

Definition of sailing...

Post by Cathy Monaghan »

  • Sailing - The fine art of getting wet and becoming ill, while going nowhere slowly at great expense (equivalent to standing in a cold shower, fully clothed, throwing up, and tearing up $100 bills, while a bunch of other people watch you).


Well, lah vee dah that doesn't sound like much fun, but for some reason I can't help myself.

You're suggesting that I vote for Frank who? I also don't understand the "tres" part... around here you can get in trouble if you try voting twice, let alone three times.

By the way, that's how they finally proved that Elvis was dead; he voted twice in Chicago in the last presidential election.

Anyone noticed how cabin fever seems to set in earlier and earlier each year?

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.

But it was too darn windy on Saturday (gusts to 35 knots), so I noticed that OJ was at it again.

BTW, that old sailboat in Cathy's second YouTube submission was obviously NOT a Cape Dory. Too much control under power.

I believe that is a Formosa 51. It's a full keel so I'm sure it doesn't
back all that well either. Ahh the magic of motion pictures!
