Re: Atlantic Delivery

Got my work done. Is Boatman there yet? An exciting day scrubbing. Kinda silly in this month of year up here but Boatman inspired me.
And no Z the tablet stayed home and I really did work.

You said it Z.......cept he is partin the wee wind as if he was a visionary of Aeolus.

Boatman; I ask of thee to make landfall in the port of delivery, with no provisions left available on board and just enough petrol to make it safe at destination harbor. .

Please ask for approval to the gods that you will part the****'s as we speak!(*) and we all have the crazy intranet with the coolest wind models that can be seen without living five miles below Norad.

Dare not have the temptation of that beautiful wench in Funchal and have steady control of your crew and vessel to stay just south of the Azores Islands.

Hey Boatman, if you feel I am worthy I just have to drink up with you and listen to you. You're a legend here.

To Legends!
Markus

I mean yes he's an nice guy and all, but he's just crossing the altantic, us boys from Northern Europe have to sail in this type of crap in the middle of summer. I mean we had a 25 metre wave recorded last week at the offshore gas platform south of Cork.

He'll chug along and be fine. He's playing it safe

Re: Atlantic Delivery

A nice guy and a pro? I don't think they allow that in the union.

Big deal. It's been windy here, and the creaky squeaky squashy SOUNDS coming from the fenders against the hull is agonizing ... agonizing I say.

Dang! Trying to drink a coffee here!

Getting my butt off the dock might do it too. Then I'd have to find something else to crab about.

I tip my sailor hat to Boaty (but not for long cuz it's sunny yet cold out, plus the glare ... ). And I'm eating oysters this afternoon and ya know what that means.

This life on the rolling sea is tougher than it appears.

"I mean we had a 25 metre wave recorded last week at the offshore gas platform south of Cork."

Betcha nobody was on a boat in those seas....

I was a good buzz on rum when I wrote that jargon above, drinkin to Boatman. Atlantic crossing and all he has been perfect on the edge of the favorable winds.

Ok, Alex, the first thing you do with your capitalist materialist hoarding (and possibly the hypocrisy in your subconsciousness about 'being free and away from it') is get a dumpster, the biggest green dumpster you can afford, and take all that **** and dump it, chuck it. Including the woman cooking fried ****.

Get yourself a zafu. Stick it in the middle of your boat. Sit. Just sit for a while. OK

Then set forth sailing again. Empty mind. Only then will you attain enlightenment.
