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'.Michael
