Hi! I'm back!
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 |

Saw it in the paper hanging from the bridge trestle that afternoon... this was back in the 1960s IIRC.

Hi! I'm back!
Sounds like Overproof weather all right. The Gulf Stream may add the
cornholious effect to make things interesting. 20 ft breaking steep waves is one thing... combine that with 40ft swells and add a new dimension! They pull drags & trawls in those conditions up here. I have friends who shuck scallops in worse weather. They go out a month at a time in 40 ft boats. Has your friend referenced the pilot charts for this season? Not heading North I take it :-) CM "Bart Senior" .@. wrote in message ...

Not what I want my first encounter with the Atlantic to be! Oh come on now.... come up here and we'll do some of that weather in Overproof..... it's a sail in serenity. We won't even take green water in those conditions. Weather forecasters are predicting steep breaking waves in the Gulf Stream and roll-over conditions for boats under 40'. One friend of mine has been waiting for a weather window for weeks and plans to leave Saturday. |

I wouldn't worry too much about pirates. They
all have sunken chests--even Blackbeard. "Maxprop" wrote Watch for the ghost of Edward Teach on Ocracoke. |

Hi! I'm back!
Congrats. I'm outa here in another few days. Drop me a line at my shipboard addy when you have time. PDW In article , wrote: 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 |

Hi! I'm back!
Oh, yeah...I forgot to mention...we are now
living aboard Chanteuse, Hey, katy...you can't live aboard a 32 foot monohull according to Jeff. You need a PDQ or something like that! But don't get air conditioning. Nothing rarely used belongs on a boat. That's why we're getting rid of all of our safety gear and Jeff is dumping his sails and mast. Robert B 35s5 NY |
