And just where do you think Homer found his inspiration? Oozo and hemlock? Seahag |

Shared with sailors no doubt, telling stories of following strange music at sea only to have the hull ripped out from under them. Most all legends have a grain of truth to them. Which brings me back to my orignal question. We know Sirens use music, do Nymps use sex? I've heard a nymphomaniac is addicted to sex. So if a sailor is drawn to a nymph is he a nympho? Joe Joe |

I've heard & seen all sorts of wierd stuff, but never anything that sounded like beautiful women singing & playing harps... nor anything that looked like a mermaid either. The Hunter 19 had a mast prop on the stern that was an aluminum pole with a crutch at the top. It also had a hole thru it a foot or so down from the top. This hole would occasionally blow a series of notes (to the same harmonic), sometimes even two at once. The first time I heard it, it did sound like a flute in the distance. But I figured it out pretty quick... for one thing, it was behind us on both tacks ;) Fresh Breezes- Doug King |

We aare not going anywhere and the rocking is over until we get some water back. 57kt was the top gust here. For a while it was steady 30's.
