OK buster. Just like making Tom eat crow I'm gonna make you eat
crow, too. But, probably you'll just be saying
something like "I need one more picture. This time you have to be
turning a winch handle." (Katy said that. Duh, maybe
she needs glasses. There're no winches on Elle Niño. Only swivel cam
cleats. One on each side for the jib sheets
and one on the back for the mainsheet.)
Oh, was it you who said the Tangerines supposed to have pulleys to
hold the sheets down so the jib won't flap and
flutter on the leech? Maybe it was Jeff. Anyway instead of pulleys I
got fairleads. Much cheaper. Now the jib
doesn't flutter any more. The fairleads pull it in and down and
stretches the leech better.
Are you ready for some pictures? I've got three of them uploaded to
badongo.
The first one's my boat from the back showing the name and home
port......

The second's from the side with a rainbow in the background. It's
sooo kewl....

The third's me standing in the cockpit wearing a bikini..... Sorry
guys, no topless but it is sorta skin colored. ;-)

I took the sails down this time because the wind was onshore. But
what a pain. The jib kept blowing around and
went in the water a couple times. Finally I put the boarding ladder on
top of it to make it stay put. I think it's
easier just to leave them up and anchor where the wind's blocked.


Cheers,

More Photoshop...so there's a Tangerine in Tbor City...so what...doesn't
prove anything...by the way, when you blow up the pic of the supposed
person on the boat, the reflection is only of the boat...and the way the
person is standig in the boat would casue a slight list to the starboard
side...which of course doesn't exist because that person is not on the
boat...but your photoshopping is getting better...

It's terrible, actually. The boat would be down by the stern as well.
Neal should stick with being a conservative--he does that pretty well.

The good Capt Neal is a brilliant Conservative!

And Master Mariner!

I do believe he is. And he's also the master fisherman, hooking
unsuspecting specimens left and right throughout the cyber oceans of Usenet
World.
