Les and John’s 2019 EXTREME Winter Cruise

[Michael Davis]

Straight from the Sylvia to the "Drunk and Disorderly". I thought only Kermit did that!

 

[Meriachee]

Somebody’s gotta keep the bar up there in everybody else’s absence.

 

[Kermit]

No report from the lads. I wonder if this means they are trying to negotiate their exit from the Sylvia lounge?

The only negotiating you and I would be doing be whether to be escorted out, thrown out or arrested and dragged out.

So.....it's all true then....

 

[Kermit]

So.....it's all true then....

Well, not yet.

 

[Mark Maulden]

They have crossed the strait and making their way down Trincomali channel..

 

[Michael Davis]

Looks like they changed their flight plan and are giving Thetis a pass.

 

[Stu Jackson]

Just had a great chat with all three of the seafarers. All is well, the crossed Georgia Strait in sunlight, snowing now passing Saltspring Island heading for Annette Inlet.

They didn't do Thetis 'cuz I had to bail with a cold and the forecast for today & tomorrow.

 

[Michael Davis]

Are you going out to meet them Stu? Or too much snow between you and the boat?

 

[Meriachee]

Brutal weather. That sure put a dent in things.

 

[Michael Davis]

Nice to know that there are some brave, hardy sailors out there! The fire, good book and glass of wine are looking better and better!

 

[Terry Cox]

I wonder if this means they are trying to negotiate their exit from the Sylvia lounge?

Me, I would stay put until the money ran out.

 

[Michael Davis]

You'll be getting a reputation Terry. Can't imagine what would happen if you and @Kermit got together in one place.

 

[Meriachee]

Is it too soon to start the discussions for next year?

 

[Terry Cox]

Banish that thought. Brings back ugly memories from my drunken past life when spirits flowed freely. Lucky anymore if I can keep two beers down. Although my boating buddy did give me his secret killer Bloody Mary recipe. Those are mighty tasty. I'm good for at least one. I'll try real hard to save one for Kermit.

 

[Michael Davis]

Is it too soon to start the discussions for next year?

Never too soon!

John and Ward enjoying the straight crossing. This is what anchorage looks like

 

[Michael Davis]

Looking like that here now too. That's a beautiful place when the sun is out. It's days like this that make me love our full canvas.

 

[Terry Cox]

AIS shows them in Annette Inlet. Very nice and well protected. And for the record there are no oysters to be found anywhere in the Inlet, period.
