I fly one to and from the Contraband days festival over in Lake
Charles, LA every year on my trip from Houston. I was flying it when a
Navy ship passed us... didn't seem to bother them. Matter of fact, I
imagine the bridge crew got a chuckle out of that. Same with the USCG
escort boats. We didn't get any more or less attention from them
either.


According to Chuck, you must be a lousy boater then - not serious
about it - you know, a "lubber" who doesn't take boating with the
proper reserve - like slow cruising to places nobody cares about in
the Pacific Northwest.

Chuck prefers stodgy moss growing, proper attire and decorum - no
humbuggery.




I've got an adaptation of the Jolly Roger on both sides of my Parker,
and call the boat "Yo Ho." Anyone who doesn't like it can wipe his butt
on his yacht club burgee.


You still own that boat? I hear it hasn't been wet in a long, long
time. When you finally find a buyer for it he will appreciate the low
hours.
