(Continued) So there we are, the lawyer and me, standing side by side,a pushing and a shoving,just "hanging" so to speak.. Wouldn't you guess that along comes some of these here Cajun types in a flat bottom skiff, shining their bright lights around, looking for Gators and such, generally destroying the peace and quiet like stinkboaters do, when they "spotted" us. No, they didn't come to the rescue. Instead there were comments made about our(my) navigational abilities and there may have been something in there about our(not my) manhood... Thanks to the 9.9 Yanmar and the rising tide, we finally did get off that riverbank. It was at thing time that I discovered something-sailig really is more fun in my real birthday suit(the one I was born in)! To avoid a mutiny, however, I got dressed, nice and dry. Later on, I insisted that we stop at a local riverside (and rather rough)cantina, to drink grog and brawl.This, to quelch any rumors herabouts in the marine community.

Gentlemen, I love it! How I would love to hear
the ladies version of this story. And by all means, what would be fashionable at this years Marti? Ray

Wow, and I thought....
my ship's log read like a horror story. Hats off (and everything else too) to you for an insight into Louisana cruisin'. Obviously, our southern cousins will drop everything just to say hello.

OK! OK!
Points well taken. I have to admit that I've learned something new. Whenever I run aground, here will be my procedure: Take clothes off. Put beads on. Jump in water. (while holding onto beads) Push boat off. Get back on boat. Head to nearest pub/mooring to ease the pain. And who said we northeners couldn't learn new tricks? In all honesty, thanks for letting me know that it's a bit different sailing in your area. Up here on Lake Michigan it's pretty wide open spaces with not as much to worry about. p.s. I might add one thing to the new process. Maybe put on a life jacket. Now THERE'S a fashion statement.

Gentlemen and Ladies,
I have one more story in me, which I'm going to call "Maiden Voyage" which involves a Mardi Gras boat parade(but no lawyers nor nudity). I'm going to let this one simmer awhile though because it does involve some drinking, and I don't want to give the impression that I have too big a problem with that! p.s. Bob you're right about those life jackets!

The ladies version of this was wasn't too exciting- for one thing, we're all married...for another, most of the comments I heard coming from below were of the derogatory nature,like "boys will be boys" and " honey you really should think about joining a gym..." Sail on, Scott on Hello Dolly

Life Jacket?
Buck naked in 2 feet of water with a life jacket? Now there's a fashion statement! At least it increases the number of things to grab if someone keels over!
