What a pathetic sailing trip. It's all schedule and land-based.
Why not just drive an automobile? You aren't sailing anyway; your are going to end up motoring just to keep on schedule. What a loser! wrote in message ... Well, unlike Captain Bobadil, (Please do a google on "Captain Bobadil" - Ben Johnson clearly knew Bobsprit in a previous incarnation) when I say I'm going sailing, I go sailing. We'll have a nice dinner at Lenny's Joint tonight, sleep aboard, and then get off to an early start tomorrow for a 6 day cruise around western LIS to visit some friends and family, attend a school reunion being held on a beach, and even stop in Port Jeff for a night to make sure we overpay for SOMETHING on this trip. We might even stop one day at the Norwalk Visitors Dock so we can have lunch at El Alcapulco. It's 25 cents a foot at the visitor's dock during the day. Free for an hour and a half if you spend at least $10 on shore and show the receipt. Only a fool or a derelict with no money would stay there overnight. It's in a quiet spot, but only a short jog across a draw bridge from some very bad places o be after dark. Why do that when you could stay in swanky Compo Yacht Basin a few miles away for a paltry $1.50 a foot? From there, you can walk to the Westport Longshore Country Club and have a 4 star meal, with maybe Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward seated next to you. I think Martha Stewart has been permanently banned. That's a "good thing". - LOL! Also, unlike Bob, inclement weather won't hamper our plans in any way. There are no reported Hurricanes blowing through, so we are all set to have some fun. You will remember that Bobadil's last TWO attempts to sail the arduous 25 miles to Norwalk were thwarted by deadly drizzle and seas over 1 foot! If I was only a scant 25 miles from Norwalk, I'd get down that way a lot more often. There is a lot to do in that whole stretch from Black Rock to Stamford. Nonetheless, my elderly wife and I are taking our tiny, and extremely tippy, canoe-like C&C 27-5 out for the next 6 days in whatever the "Big G" has to offer, WITHOUT ANY HELP! Pray for us. BB |
