The Best Cockpit, not a 35.5 MG midget
 
Rob's better cockpit is like the cockpit in a MG midget. Ragtop, small,
wet, hot, cold, horrid, miserable, and dangerious.

A real cockpit will keep you cool and dry, offer the Capt'n a place to
work in comfort even if you are motorsailing at 9 kts out of the eye of
a wicked storm with a full set of sails.

Joe, that's a good troll, but c'mon!!! Take better pics than that and
we'll all have more fun. If you don't have the pic to support the
troll, then wait a while until you can get one. My best trolls are
supported by reasonable pics.

Pleeeze Bob. I did not take the photo. But you can see it is storming,
my hand is on the throttle, And I'm turning upwind. Clearly running out
of a vicious storm. All in the cool AC comfort of a real cockpit that
even Navy fighter pilots envy.

Oh and BTW we fished all the way thru the storm, Hooked up with a nice
King Mackerel, as you can see in our wake, we outran the storm. No one
was skeered either.

Yelp, that was last Oct's Harvest Moon Regetta. The start is offshore
Galveston.

Question regarding your boat's paint scheme... Was it ever owned by a
circus?

OK BB, I took you ootta the plonk box because you are rude in a plesent
way now..sortta.

The hull was first Black, then white, then blue and now red with
yellow trim & white cabins.

It's is not a proper white clorox bottle production clone by any means.


Kids surley think it's like going to a circus, as they all smile when
they see her.
Marine's salute her thinking I'm using grunt colors, and everyone in
the oilfileld thinks it's a Shell Oil boat. The fact is Red & Yellow
are the most visiable colors at sea, I found a pleasent way to
incorporate safety with style. Something lubbers can not even
understand. Also the wings are good luck, they go way back in marine
lore.
