Default Buh-Bye!

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!

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.
