As we were rowing back in from the mooring this afternoon, I looked back at Chanteuse...she is such a pretty, pretty boat. And she sits there so well (there are some boats out there that are DEFINITELY of the hulky type persuaion). I lashed down the main sail cover and put on a second safety tie on the furler for the storms tonight. They're predicting some really heavy winds...it was gusting 25 when we left... -- The onset of alt.alien.vampires and Madam Vinyl has confused you. Flying Tadpole II is a true gem, whether under sail or not, a masterpiece of the designer's art, and a credit to her builder. Far form looking weird, she lifts the romance in evrybody's heart, and tugs the heartstrings of all seekers after true beauty. Why, in her campaigning days, was she the most photographed boat in those huge fleets? Cameras were just automatically drawn to her style, her simplicity and her speed. Lady Kate, however, can only offer a certain pugnacious charm in her looks. Her multitude of virtues lie elsewhere. Don't confuse the two. -- Flying Tadpole ------------------------- Learn what lies below the waves of cyberspace! http://www.internetopera.netfirms.com |
