The True Story of Seven Twinkies

Thanks TaoJ and great work; you might guess I am with the "paragraph mob" and quickly gave up on the OP but your effort allowed me to enjoy the tale.
Thanks again

Yeah, well worth some paragraphs

With actual

Spaces

In between.........no names

Great story sailones, thanks for sharing!

I know someone that is a copywriter. Works as logn as there is wifi every 5 days or so depending on the delivery date.

Tao.
Not fair.
I had to struggle through it all.

A good story to remind you how not to do things. Sort of like those bloody driver's ed films.

Canibul · 27-10-2009, 09:23

Yeah, I can't BELIEVE they didn't have a dry bag for the cigarettes and bong...

Morgan Paul · 27-10-2009, 10:13

I read the unedited version and I gotta say I enjoyed it.

It brought back memories of some crazy crap I did on a Sunfish 35 years ago.

Good story man.

Wow, from the comments there are a lot of Norman Mailors in this forum....I enjoyed the story, was entertained by it and even took lessons from it which, in essence, every story should be capable of producing. Kudos Sailone, and kudos to Tao, again, for being the calm man in a crisis.....Allan

Stillraining · 27-10-2009, 13:08

So how big was this thing...you almost make it sound like a Hobie cat?

Maybe I missed that paragraph...

Hey Tao....maybe your version could have a big "Read this first "arrow pointing to it in the OP ...

..as it is now..its Kind of like .." Now you tell me" kind of thing...but thanks anyway for the effort.

**TaoJones** · 27-10-2009, 13:43

I've taken your advice, Stillraining, and put a note at the top of Post #1. Oh, BTW, they were aboard a 19' Nacra beach cat which was either new, or at least new to the author, sailone. I used to own a Nacra 5.5 SL (18'), so I can really sympathize with their predicament.
