Only 36 gusts? When it's windy here we get gusts every few seconds. The
windspeed is also measured in knots... Cheers MC Scott Vernon wrote: Dang it's windy today! 36 gusts to 50 mph. supposed to last till tomorrow. -- Scott Vernon Plowville PA __/)__/)__ |

WINDY ~~~~~~~~~~
A lot colder today, probably a 15 plus degree drop but not a cloud in the
sky. Spent part of the day on the small stores crane with an open seat, in the shade and me with Carhartt work shorts and a T-Shirt. Locals kept asking if I was not cold? Nope . . .it's a Seattle Summer Day sez I, hiding the obvious behind a bit of Yankee bravado. Later in the McGregor crane with the enclosed operator cab I got to turn on the heater. Another nice thing about this job. So far picked up fork lift operators license from 4,000 lb capacity to 15 ton capacity, Crane operator from the small 6,000 pound to the big twinned boom McGregors at 110 tons capacity and that's just a start. A lot of our group end up in other unions because of the diversity of our training and trade. It's funny but I can make more income than most college graduates, in fact I never mention my degree anymore. Somehow doesn't seem right does it? Oh well better than relying on an 8th Grade Diploma and a lot of BS like some. Back on the crew boats and I think another tug 'observers' ride on Sunday if all goes well. So how about sailing? Well the good news is we're crewing up all the ships again. But first I get a short vacation of two weeks or so. The first part will be sailing near Tampa, FL and the second on my own boat up in the Puget Sound. Finally!! Meanwhile I'm working on a short visit to a nearby marina where a friend has a Bristol Channel cutter and . . .who knows? Well . . .that's enough . .the title was WINDY . . . .and there you have it. Meanwhile I'm going back to Lat's and Att's and see what's happening there! Some of those folks would qualify for .asa. Cheers and fair winds MST |

I don't personally...we have all sand and gravel for soil...we're up on = top of an old glacial moraine...but they do in all the lowlands around = this area...Hudsonville and Zeeland in particular have HUGE celery = farms...during the summer when you drive by with your windows open on = the xway, the air smells of celery... --=20 katysails s/v Chanteuse Kirie Elite 32 http://katysails.tripod.com "Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea." - Robert A.

On the contrary. She's been working on that boat for
five or ten years now and has NEVER been sailing to date on her. I say she's fair game for being made fun of. Only Bobsprit sails less than Haggie. S.Simon "katysails" wrote in message ... Ketch?
