Sorry if I seem like a bitch. I'm not really but this news group is just so
much like hanging out in a garage.

I have a Tangerine by Renken. It has sails and NO motor. It has no battery and
it has no instruments. It has a compass and that's all it has.

I last sailed three days ago most of the day long. I packed a picnic lunch.
I sailed in and out of the harbor and the winds were light and fickle. I didn't
have to worry about finding and connecting wires. I didn't spend any time checking
the charge of my batteries. I didn't worry about any prop cavitation. I sailed.
I anchored. I went swimming and I scrubbed the bottom. It needs new paint,
the stuff is growing fast on it.

I do most of my sailing during the week because there are way so many people
rushing back and forth in their motor boats on the week-ends. To me they're
just a bother and ruin the experience. I like sailing because it takes me away
from the hustle and bustle. I like getting an all over tan but no gawkers.

Happy?

Cheers,
Ellen

Why the compass? Do you sail out of the sight og land?

Most women like gawkers..Are you shy? Guess the totalnude sailing
picture is out of the question.

Happy?


No your a puppet. Who else would wanna be Ellen besides Ellen??

Joe
'Tis not the moaning wind your hear--
It is a sound more dread and drear,
A voice that calls across the tide,
A voice that will not be denied.

Cheers,
Ellen

As you wish but I am Ellen. Check your phone book. MacArthur is a common name. Ellen is pretty common too.
I guess I could say you ain't Joe just as easy. What's your last name, Joe? Is it Schmoe? :-)

Cheers,
Ellen
