The Fender Horror!

Yes! Look at the above pic! Leaving Port Jeff and sailing for the Thimbles, we NEVER removed two of the fenders. They remained on deck for 5 or 6 hours. Several times we were passing by other boats who frantically gestured to us about our death defying leap of fender faith, yet we still sailed onward in building winds. A low flying plane may have dipped his wings at us in a futile attempt to alert us to our desperate dangererous lubberly act! We weren't just sailing on the edge, tempting fate; we dared the devil himself to take us on, and STILL the fenders remained on deck! Then, sailing home the next day, we stowed the fenders. It was payback for our death defying stunt, an appeasment to Neptune. We know our place. Will we do it again? Perhaps. If a day, dark and weary, touches our souls we may again throw sense and safety to our whims of daring do! The Brave Captain RB |

You had two on the return? Looks like you've almost lost one in the pic.
DON'T DO IT AGAIN! YOU MIGHT DIE (now there's a thought) OR INJURE SOMEONE ELSE. Can you imagine what would happen if a fender ran into a lesser boat than a C&C 32????

From time to time, I pass comment on my wife's driving. I make useful suggestions, such as, "The lights are red", or, "Don't stop - the lights are green." or, "You should look where you're going when you are reversing." I recently suggested that doing 50mph round a sharp bend at the top of a hill, in a 30mph zone, was probably a bit dangerous. Like you, she proclaimed that she knew what she was doing. In fact, she drove round that bend, at that speed every day, without incident. Furthrermore, she informed me that I was an idiot, and that I should shut up! A couple of weeks ago, I was practising the piano in the playroom, when there was a very loud bang. You guessed it! She reversed into the bloody house - at SPEED! You see, she reverses around the side of the house every day. She does this without incident. So why should she look? Your attitude towards the fenders is exactly the same as my wife's attitude towards driving. She had 12 accidents in the first 18 months that she had her driving license. And, Yes, Katy. She knows that I say these dreadful things about her driving. A couple of years ago, at a dinner party, I was regaling the guests with tales of my wife's motoring escapades when she exploded(BTW she really can explode!). She accused me of telling the same old boring stories years after she had any accidents. -- The next morning, a bill for £80 pounds arrived in the post, for a neighbours replacement bumper. Regards Donal -- Regards Donal -- |

You got that one right, Bobsprit. In your case
when you rant and rave about politics at least it's not just a case of overcompensating because you're pussy whipped at home like Donal. Now that I know how big a wuss and how little a man Donal is I'll just laugh when he goes on with his pacifist crap. After all, his wife's got him trained. S.Simon "Bobsprit" wrote in message ...

"stick"? slang for standard shift transmission as opposed to an automatic.
some immature juveniles associate driving a stick with manliness and or coolness. Hence, ''I drive a 6 speed''. Whoop dee dooo, eh? Scotty "Donal" wrote Sorry! What's a "stick"? Regards Donal -- |
