Your examples of real sailing mates.

This is the only thread I usually check daily so Puleez let me defend my humble observation on "the thread becoming played out". See post #270. My eyes still hurt, shocking/surreal/ouchie. Wooden girls, and Don Knotts mother. What's a guy to do but throw down the gauntlet and challenge all sailors to go sailing and get some(tactful) shots of their real first mates while onboard a real sailboat. IMHO it doesn't have to be glamerous just follow the early lead, going out on the water with real mates, new/old pics of anywhere you sail. It's a sacrifice but for the sake of Carters grandma never becoming a "boat babe" I'll go sailing this weekend and try to get a couple of new pics. The U.S. weather is good in the SE from Brownsville Tx, around the Keys to Charleston Sc and beyond. Soooooo maybe somebody/anybody is sailing with a camera???. There are guys still snowed in who need your help here. There could be long term effects when a frozen sailor thinks Milton Burrell in drag is a typical quality first mate:) .....Must redeem the thread and break the (very)ugly spiral*o....... Blinded by the fright....Leave it to our good friend George to shock us back on topic. Tens of thousands of views and only 1/2doz guys post pics of their pride and joy(no, not the boat!..well maybe with mate). Don't be so reluctant to follow Brian and Stephs exellent example capn'.

Don't forget to look us up...

Brian and Steph, Don't forget to give us a call the next time you're in this neck of the woods. I still owe you both a dinner. Ross in Tampa 1979 Oday 25 "Lola"

Wow I love Boatbabes

They can function as autopilots,cooks and general boatkeepers and gofers. Then provide "special services" when the sailing gets slow. Some of these boatbabes look a little newer than mine but probably can't cook as well. The newer boatbabes probably require more "upkeep" and I'm getting older too.

At our age

we call them eye candy. High maintenance too! Like my Mom used to say about my Dad, "I don't care where he gets his appetite, as long as he comes to eat". Aint it the truth! Thanks all for sharing! Keep it up, Ctskip

Looking good, Princess!

Don't worry about the material to dollar ratio - it's money well spent!

FWIW, when my boat babe is ...

aboard I treat her like the admiral she is. I'm the chief cook, bottle washer, trimmer, etc., which I enjoy doing. Arthritis (mild) limits what she can do, but I'm happiest when she is aboard sharing in the sailing experience. Terry

Well said Terry,

As much as I like sailing alone, it sure is nice when the admirable is on board! I do all that stuff when I am alone so I might as well do it with the her on board. I have to say the Admirable does more than her share now. The only problem I have is that meals must be on a schedule instead of eating when I am hungry. Now, I eat when it is time. I am about 30# ok, 39# over weight, but I am also in hope of adding new activity to help the weight. My problem is I just like to eat so when it is there, I eat. Ok, so I am going on and on but I know, boat Babes like buff guys! So, We like the Boat Babe look,we should do the same for them. Wow this might hurt! r.w.landau

R.W. The other day you were grumbling about the

ground hog and wishing him ill. Well I am able to report that this morning on Maryland route 543 approximately 1/2 mile north of MD route 22 said ground hog was struck and killed by a motor vehicle. There were no witnesses. His body was discovered by a passing motorist and reported to the police. There seemed to be cheering in the background upon receiving the report. ;D

Ross, The Groundhog is dead?

The wicked groundhog is dead! (sung to the Wizard of OZ, the wicked witch is dead). I brought the boat home today to start the spring work. The weather in our area has broken up and is cool and rainy right now but spring is in the air! Thanks for that Groundhog report!It must be true. r.w.

Hi Ross, sorry, but before I believe your...

report, would you please provide me with a copy of the autopsy report that shows it was in fact Punxsutawney Phil's DNA? Lots of imitation groundhogs out there and I just want to avoid starting any false rumors. :) Terry P.S. Besides, what was he doing in Maryland, he's from Pennsylvania?

Well I didn't say that is was

THE ground hog. It may have been a close cousin or possibly an heir apparent. Do you know if paw prints are on file for a positive ID? I don't think a post mortem will be conducted as I think I heard some remark that the hounds eat tonight.

Lou, Nope.

Actually a couple of different spots. The one where we suddenly determined that there was not a boat hook in the port forward locker is Marina Cay. The other is where the (accept no substitutes!) cheesburger was really eaten in paradise.
