Re: Stop your grog....

Post by Nautical Traditions Offic »

Captain Heintz,

Your explanation has been accepted by the quarter deck, but, the offense has been noted and instead of a flogging, stopping your grog for a week is appropriate according to the Articles of War. I mean for so minor an offense, if we flogged every seaman that did what you did, none of them would have a back left....and a mutiny might arize!

Turn to Captain, and have a nice cruise...I remain...your most humble servant...

You guys crack me up! Hope I don't have to be keel hauled.

It is good that you clarified your actions to the quarter deck. The Bosuns' Mate was at the grog last night anyway, so could probably NOT apply the 'Cat with the proper vigor as would befit the crime.

I can't wait to look at what John Vigor's reply is to my last post below....Fair winds...

I like that cluttered look!

I kinda liked all that clutter on Catherine's boat,,,it has that "yachty" look. In fact I went down to my boat today and tied some lines that I usally keep in my locker on to the lifelines, etc. I even changed some of my knots!! :-)

On a more serious note,,,My downhaul: I've seen some them atached with the cam cleat at the mast base and I've seen some with the cam cleat up at the boom end. Is there an advantage to either way?

Thanks

Downhaul...

Post by Larry Austin »

just wanted to mention that I keep the cam cleat end at the mast base because I always know where the control line is. I just happen to notice about a 3rd of the boats at the marina have the cam cleat up at the boom end....was just woundering...
