It is clear from your post that she had
figured out that using the bucket was going to be somewhat
embarassing
anyway but doubly difficult when the boat is 'blasting' across the
bay
probably at a considerable angle of heel.

plus Bart holding his digital camera at the ready prolly didn't help
any.

No doubt, Scott! LOL

Another option is the notorious "Prop Check"

Where you go for a swim and use that as an opportunity to
urinate.

You definitely have a "****ing fetish"! No wonder...

And what would that be?

I would find the nearest airport, but I'm not a sailor.

Maybe you could ease the sails and they could go in the water without
embarrassment to themselves?

LP (just asking)

Or "accidentally" drop your hat in the water and dive in to retrieve it
before anyone can suggest a MOB drill....

Great report Bart

Nevertheless, I think LIS is one of the best
cruising grounds in New England., if you know where to go.

Its right up there with Narrangansett Bay, Buzzard's Bay, Vineyard Sound, Cape
Cod, Boston Harbor, Salem Bay and Cape Ann. Though its not as nice as the Maine
Coast. It is, however, much nicer than the New Hampshire coast, except maybe
Portsmouth.

Bart,

Nice Report! Brings back memories of long ago. The Port Jeff hotel use
to make a frozen daiquiri that was better than great.

With the free footed main, you should be able to rig a "Kicking Strap"
ala Jolly O, with a slippery hitch. In light air it is a lot faster that
moving the Vang but that is what those clips are for. Isn't amassing how
tame a boat can feel with the Boom under control?

In my "Comet" days on LIS, I used a coffee can rather than a bucket.
Females seem to be more comfortable with the can than a bucket.

Bart, I had a house in Northville on the Island. I was sure it was the
best sailing ground anywhere. That was before I found Puget Sound

I agree Thom. I hate having a boom slamming around.

HOOT came with a wire and sheave arrangement for the vang.

When I recored the coaming, I didn't want to put that back on,
so I made up a new one with two fiddle blocks. I like having
shackles on both ends. That makes is useful for other purposes.

Also, I like to remove it to get it out of the weather when I'm
not using it.

Next time you take ladies out, Bart, maybe you should invest in this little
gizmo.....http://www.westmarine.com/webapp/wcs...ProductDisplay
?storeId=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=10001&productId=35264

Your link didn't work, but I know what it is. There was one in the Mac
when we bought it. I used it as a funnel to fill the alcohol stove .
