In the spirit of friendship I offer this primer to the ng:
Scout, Haggie, Scotty, Loco,NoPony (steve), Doug are all Chesapeake and
surrounding areas sailors; Maxprop, John Cairns, myself and Horvath are
Great Lakes sailors (and Lonny when he has time to sail...)'; Bart I believe
is in Connecticut or Massachusetts somewhere. I can't remember where Jeff's
homeport is..but he sails Florida sometimes. Neal sits on a can in the
swampland surrounding the Bay of Florida; Bobsprit/BB sails in the matrix;
Jax is lost somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle; Thom is up by the Columbia
River in Oregon, which is also Michael's homeport when he's not on some ship
somewhere that we can't mention; Mike and Lady Sailor live in CA but sail
Mexico, OZ and Taddy (Tadpole) and Peter Wiley are from various ports in
Australia; Nav (MC) is from New Zealand; Edgar's home port was in England
but now he lives in Norway; stevie summers and wally and Donal are all from
great Britain; Martin is from Canada as is Mooron. Gilligan and all his
sockpuppets live in Colorado. It is up to you to figure out who his puppets
are.

The sails made a sprinkler

Ahh, the joys of a Pilothouse and an inside Helm Station.

Try to imagine that dripping in 38 degress F. That is exactly what I
face out here

Thom,

If it isn't considered inappropriate, where is it that you are at?
Are you a live aboard?

I assure you, I do not mean to be asking rude questions. I've recently
come upon this group because of my new found interest in sailing and
am trying to sort out the posters in here.
