The Story.... was - New asa rule. Fake captains disallowed.
Ok, now tell us what you were up to in Paris this week?
Don't deny it. Your handwriting is all over those fire bombs! "Capt.Mooron" wrote Okay then Bart.... It was a summer fishing trip to the remote reaches of the East Arm of Great Slave Lake. About 700 nm round trip. There were six crew and supplies sufficient to live like kings including 2 inflatable tenders and diving gear. It turned out that during our progress to our destination we encountered 3 separate incidents with other vessels and crew requiring assistance. We were there and well prepared. One of the crew was a Paramedic and had all the gear. We rescued a prospector investigating possible kimberlite funnels who was stricken with the flu and in very bad shape. we towed his 18 ft sailboat with us for 3 days and nursed him back to health prior to dropping him off at a community called Lut'selke' at his request. Then a powerboat with a family aboard had suffered mechanical problems in Wildbread Bay and had been stranded for 2 days. We fed the family and towed them to a Luxury Fishing Camp where they arranged to fly the family back by floatplane. One of the guides... a mechanic got the parts flown in.. repaired the boat and took it back to Yellowknife with the owner. Then we ran into an elderly woman on a kayak with an alp horn strapped to the side. She was lost and hungry .. having been out for days longer than expected. We set her up with a hot meal, supplies... and let her sleep in a warm dry bunk as we sailed her 80 miles further to her destination. Once we got her to the islands she was all set and put off to Yellowknife.. refreshed , restocked and happy. Well after all that we made Wildbread Bay again and had a blast fishing, drinking and just having a great time. On the way back I spotted a vessel on radar approaching us. It was misty/foggy but not too bad. Once we had visual contact I recognized the boat as one of Mike Stillwell's charter boats. Now... I knew most all the sailors on the lake. Especially the ones on charter boats since I Captained a few charters for Mike. The chances we knew the people on board were 98%. We had a bucket of water balloons and a reputation to uphold. We had a pirate flag and a stuffed parrot ... there was no option.. an attack was in order. Tony manned the mouth harp to sound the attack song... we positioned ourselves... and launched the world's worst attack ever. Not one of the dozen water balloons hit the vessel. I did not recognize the sailors but waved and cussed my crew in disgust before making track out of there in embarrassment at our poor showing. It was 2weeks later while having a few beers with the deputy major of Hay River, an MLA and the Commodore dockside when we were interrupted by a call from the dock. RCMP.... "I'm looking for the captain of this vessel..." A quick discussion with the officer and a view of my log showed that not only were we in full control of our faculties but the vessel as well. I told the officer to inform the complainants that I would be happy to pursue this in court. I then pointed out to the officer that we had also water bombed the local RCMP Patrol vessel last week.... as well as the Aux Coast Guard!! We also regularly water bombed and had pitched battles with almost every sailor on the bay. We did more for water balloon launcher sales.... I found out from the charter company that the RCMP had made inquiries all over about me... all with the same result.. that I was a good sailor, a great person and would have no problem getting character witnesses. Then the people I helped out on my trip responded and a few days later was informed the action was dropped. It was a local legal firm. A file is kept on the incident and the RCMP agreed to label it "Overproof Piracy" for me! They thought it was pretty funny! Three weeks after that.... the same group of lawyers tried to sail a 42ft Frasier up the Yellowknife River and ran it hard aground causing 12K damage in an area they were informed was not to be approached with the charter vessel. Now that's blind justice for you! So my claim to the title was earned on merit in the field and not by formal education. They call me Capt. Mooron!.... and so will You! CM "Bart Senior" .@. wrote in message ... You don't get off that easy. Tell us the whole story. Also, have you been in France, near Paris, this last week? "Capt.Mooron" wrote Well the RCMP referred to me as Captain in the warrant! I water-bombed a boat full of lawyers! They filed a formal complaint I placed my log as evidence. The lawyers didn't have a log The lawyers decided not to procede. I have a file at "G" Division labelled "Overproof -Piracy" It cites I am the Captain of the vessel. I rest my case gentlmen! :-) Capt. Mooron |

Ha ha Ha ha ha ha.... more of my Belgian relatives up to some wacky hijinks I see!! Belgian accents are pretty regional specific. They could locate their home town in a instant. My parents speak in two separate accents to this day.. the local consulate speaks in a different accent than either of my parents. I speak it with an English accent..... CM |

Real men don't make those kind of mistakes. Sure they do Gilligan.... but rest assured I wasn't wearing chaps, hardhat or gloves and I was working alone! Another 6 inches and that deadfall would've clipped my noggin' for certain. Since you would be one of the few to understand... 5 40ft+ leaners in a tangle.... you couldn't discern a widowmaker up there from any angle... I cut the outside left leaner and it caught the break enough to flip that thing clean out of the tops. I saw it coming as I was backing off... like it was being thrown at me. CM |

Not a mistake then, simply a miscalculation!
I should send you a satellite photo of my singlehanded clearcut. It's visible for miles on the ground! Gilligan "Capt.Mooron" wrote in message news:pWKbf.89647$y_1.19068@edtnps89...

"Capt. Neal®" wrote in message Cut them suckers from the downside to the upside. Duh! They don't pinch the bar that way. This has nothing to do with the bar or the saw. A widowmaker is a portion of tree snapped off and caught in the canopy. Once the tree supporting it or the adjacent tree hitting it is cut it either falls or is flipped out. It's a rare occurence... even more rare with a cluster of leaners. You do know what a leaner is don't you? Does a Floridian have to teach Canadians how to log? Floridians can't even start a chainsaw ...let alone cut wood. CM |
