The Mast behind the Mask
Last week I took my boat up to the yard to get hauled. In the slip next to the one I left my boat in overnight was a small boat, about 24' (Dolphin I think). Tied to her mast with a black neck tie was a rubber mask, one of those ghoulish, graying wrinkled things; does anyone know if there is some significance to this? To ward of evil boat spirits? Cheers Marty |

Canucks don't celebrate Halloween? What happened to your railway?

Halloween, genius. RB I don't think so, it was there the previous month when I was there arranging for the haul out, is rudeness a congenital defect for you or are you suffering from some malaise leading to chronic irascibility? Cheers Marty |

I think the necktie probably has more significance than the mask....
