Good show!

Been sailing, what'sup?

Howdy again folks! I've been out sailing and generally sluffing off. Some of you may remember me as I told of hoisting my 40' sailboat onto a trailor and driving it towards Nevada. I said I was going to stop along the way and pick up planking from a small sawmill in route to construct a make shift d...

Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.

T in Sac, it is amazing what drawing lines on the face of the sea can do to the soul. The sea has no curbs for what it worth and the only trees are at the bottom. I used to ride a Harley and found myself weaving about the road just feeling the wind in my face. Picture riding down Big Sir, heading so...

FUCK! I turned 51 today! That isn't so bad really. I was one of those kids that never wanted to turn 30. Could you imagine? "Fuck, I'll hate it if I make it to thirty." I remember telling a friend. When my ex and I turned 40 (yeah she and I are the same age) we had a street party with barracades, co...

Strange as it may seem, life becomes serene and enjoyable precisely when selfish pleasures and personal success are no longer the guiding goals.

This he said 10 minutes before he was guned down.

Celebratory gun fire...doing it for decades. Wait a fucking minute. The result has nothing to do with the reason. Well, maybe it does. In times of families fighting amoungst themselves the deal was they keep amo in the guns incase the deal of peace went bad. Good o'l brotherly love. So when someone ...

Strych-9, you're a teacher. Frightening! Do you write on the chalk board at the beginning of the year "Hi, I'm Ms. Strych-9 and I frighten grown men? :shock: So, 9 don't be mad at me for picking on your boy rock star. He is full of discontent. Go to Santa Cruz and grab a vollyball player. That way y...

I'm reserving this spot for a later comment! I had read the all of the thread and do have something to say. I just think I'll do a bit of napping first to recharge the brain. I will start with, our (American) views are the make up of the collection of information we have paid attention to. What we s...

There is only one God! But, and oh yeah there are bunches of monsters. How about the theme of "where are you at?" It could be stuff like space, under the sea, on top of the world, in a tree or happy to help. Everybody fits! Multi level, multi subjects and who knows there might be two of the same sor...

I knew that! OK, so you learn something every fucking day.

Hey, have a look at the 2004 newbies section and read the "Beginning, the plan, an idea.

Oh hey, DF you link isn't working...

Hey thanks Peace_T that was just what the mind needed. A bit of the burn from this side.

Long story made short. This whole thing is so kewl I have told hundreds of other sailors about it. But the system or something gets so jammed up it forbids us from seeing the burn. Now, I saw a newscast about this a bunch of years ago. "Kewl", I said, "I'm in!" But, a cruising life of a sailor depar...
