Katy get a bigger dink
After reading your post about your overloaded dinghy I
feel I must comment for your safety and that of your loved ones. You should look for a bigger dinghy. Something in the ten-foot range should suffice for your load. May I suggest you look at a Walker Bay 10. You can sail it and you can motor it and it carries a much larger load than your present little pram. BTW, put that fat dog on a diet before he gets a stroke or something. CN |
May I suggest you look at a Walker Bay 10. You can sail it
and you can motor it and it carries a much larger load than your present little pram. Get a portabote. More payload, stows properly and far better performance that Neal wouldn't know about. They are not too attractive, but a dink is about being safe and practical 1st and foremost. RB |
BTW, put that fat dog on a diet before he gets
a stroke or something. I guess I missed the pic of Scotty Potti on Katy's boat. RB |
It's not like we're going anywhere but from the dock to the boat it's a
swimmable distance..and Choppie's not fat at all...he's an Imperial standard...they are much larger than the one's usually seen...Russian bloodlines... "Capt. Neal®" wrote in message ...

I have one for sale on e-bay. I'll only charge you 2 times what have in it, not the 4 times that I have set as the reserve RB |

Something in the ten-foot range should suffice for your load. May I suggest you look at a Walker Bay 10. You can sail it and you can motor it and it carries a much larger load than your present little pram. At a port not far from south from where Katy sails lives a boat builder named Mike Kiefer. He's built some of the most beautiful lapstrake dinks over the past 20 years or so, and a few of them come up for sale now and then. They take a bit of maintenance and a lot of varnish, but nothing rows or sails better than his boats. For the price of a Walker Bay 10, she and Mr. Sails could have one of Mike's boats. BTW, put that fat dog on a diet before he gets a stroke or something. Chopper could not be termed "fat" by any stretch of the imagination. He's a strapping, big poodle with very slender lines, and while I haven't seen him in full gallop, I imagine he's quite an athlete. No adipose on that canine. Max |
Mean you haven't heard me yelling "nyet" at him when he does something
wrong??? BTW, he loves borscht... "Maxprop" wrote in message nk.net...

Chopper is the only dog I've ever seen that can run heeled over at 45
degrees....he's a terror on curves...when he was younger he jumped off the deck (on topof our garage) into the driveway...Thought for sure he would have broken a leg or four but he just shook himself off and kept going...we're going to have to get him some sunglasses, though...he's 9 now and starting to get cataracts...

I agree with you on this one, Maxpoop.
If one is going to be a yachtsman, having a decent dinghy is of paramount importance. Skimping you your dinghy makes your entire operation a shabby one. A proper rowing and sailing dinghy opens up a whole new world of sailing enjoyment and security. One of the primary purposes of a proper dinghy is to be able to row out to weather a large anchor to use as a kedge in case one finds oneself aground and in trouble on a lee shore. Katy's present dinghy would sink before the job was done and her ship could be destroyed all for the lack of a proper dinghy. The girl needs to get serious about sailing.

Katy's dink doesn't sink...it just ships a lot of water...it has so much
positive floatation that the most it would do is turtle over...we have no desire for a sailing dink...and we have no desire for an engine on the back of the dink we have...we like how we do things..it is no reflection on anything since many of the people at the yacht club have similar dinks as ours...thank you for your concern, but there's really nor reason to fret..if we were going to have an "accident" it would have occurred by now...

Living in Colorado at high altitudes like you do BB, you
should also worry about cataracts because the sun's rays are stronger up there. Make sure your sun glasses are stopping UVA, UVB, UVC, UVD, etc. CN wrote in message ...

It got so he could hardly see at all and had to wear sunglasses all the time even inside. He got surgery and had two new artificial lenses put in and now he can see better than I can. Funny thing, though, they put two different fixed focus lenses in - one for reading and one for distance. It took him a while to get used to it but now the brain just uses whichever eye is suitable for the task and he doesn't even have to think about it. I wonder if a dog's brain can do the same? Maybe you can offer yourself for the research? BB |

I think that you have been subjected to propoganda. There are many disreputable charities who deliver very little of their income to the needy. However, most mainstream charities are quite efficient. The St. Vincent de Paul, for example, spends 90% of its income on the needy. http://www.cdi.gov.au/submissions/19...centDePaul.doc There is nothing wrong with taking care of one of God's creatures that you love, be it pet or another human being. Most people who are generous and kind to pets are also generous and kind in charitable giving. People who are mean to animals generally don't give a rat's ass about people at all... That sounds really nice. In fact I'd suggest that it is politically correct rubbish. You are mistaken when you say that people who spend money on their pets are "generous". Most pets are, in fact, a substitute for family/lovers/slaves. People who own pets are seeking affection or obedience, and are far more likely to be self centred than non-pet owners.

I think they are plotting something. The goose just wants a pet and a handout of food.... the Rhodesian Ridge back thinks it owns me.... what am I doing wrong? PS... I think the canary and the parrot are backing the chook revolt... I'm thinking of invoking the patriot act . CM |

You need to stay away from the chickens.
