Hi! I'm back!
brAT..I hear you have a new friend...
"Scotty" wrote in message ... you were gone? Scotty wrote in message ... Hey, everyone. You have all sure been busy posting away here while I was incommunicado. We finally got phone service established here on our boat, so I'm back to normal emailing. Oh, yeah...I forgot to mention...we are now living aboard Chanteuse, escaping the cold winter up in MI (they've already had 6 inches of snow and expect 6" nore tonight...too bad, so sad). Right now we're in the Pamlico Sound area (some of you know where exactly...). We're just taking life esasy for right now and staying away from going out into the Atlantic....the weather off Cape Hatteras to Cape Fear is frightening....45-50 knots with 20 foot waves. Not what I want my first encounter with the Atlantic to be! We've met a bunch of lovely people, including one Doug and Kathy King, who are great folks, interesting to talk to, and enjoyable to be with. Have also met some friends of Michael Ortin's (Schoonertrash) who sail in this area who are very pleasant people too. Chopper likes living aboard except that we're always having to ask him to move since the aft cabin has become the closet/storage area. He was a bit put out at first that we had usurped "his" room for such mundane stuff as the printer, clothes, and accesoroes. We are now official liveabords since we installed the requisite blue tarp over our boom when we had a downpour yesterday...sure makes a difference not having the rain come pouring down the hatch. We're also shopping for a new mainsail before taking off to do any serious cruising. Haven't decided whether we're going to go north or south yet. Plenty of time to decide that later. For right now, we like it here and there's lots to explore and lots of places to sail to in the vicinity. I brought my fishing gear with me and on a warmer day will go out to the beach to surf fish. I caught a 1.5# crappe off the dock the other day and cooked it up for dinner. So, that's where I've been and am....good to be back. katy |

Things have been a bit more civil here lately, with the absence of the flonkers. Maybe I've just killfiled 'em all--I really don't know, but they're gone as far as I'm concerned. Have the mussels at Capt. Ratty's--highly recommended. Max |

Hi! I'm back!
"katysails" wrote in message ... The house is still there...for now....we're just toying with retirement and looking at a bunch of possibilities and I am exceedingly tired of winters in MI. We had Chanteuse trucked down here...used American Boat Transport which I will recommend to anyone needing a boat shipped. They were reasonable, on time, and the boat arrived intact. The boat yard we launched from had an inexperienced kid, though, who thought boats drive like cars and he ended up smashing one stanchion and bending another..they are t a welding shop getting fixed..all in all a small thing considering...fortunately, I was on the boat and immediately gave him a katy earful about how to back a fin keel boat... Forgot to mention--a friend saw your boat leaving town. I told him where it was going--hope you don't mind. He doesn't post here. Max |

The Left ones just tend to flounder about with no sense of purpose or direction. g and I'm hoping to get some pictures of them, too, plus some pictures of Cape Hatteras light.... Watch for the ghost of Edward Teach on Ocracoke. Max |

Hi! I'm back!
"katysails" wrote in message ... "Bob Crantz" wrote in message k.net... I bet that low cabin ceiling is rough on the beehive. Low cabin ceiling?????You got the wrong boat, there, Bob...my beehive, although not as impressive as Marge Simpson's, is doing just fine... Did you see any alligators yet? No, but there is supposedly one living down the river from here according to a lady at the bank... Keep an eye on the dog. I'm told a dog or two become dinner for the gators now and then. Max |

Hi! I'm back!
"katysails" wrote in message ... Peter, Please email me your sb addy...I'm using my infernal inferior laptop and don't have it. If it will make you feel any better, we're in the midst of a lake-effect snow here, with a clipper system due in tomorrow. Nightly temps are supposed to be low teens or single digits. Enjoy NC. Max |
