You ARE young. Just a baby. LOL!

Hey, watch it!


Love to! ;-)

Catalina 30 is a nice boat. It shouldn't be hard to raise the mainsail if
the captain has the good sense to have the boat pointing into the wind. If
not it can be a strain.

I think it was in the wind, but it was definitely hard to do. Those
little plastic cards that attach the main to the mast kept sticking.
It wasn't slapping around that much, so I don't know what to think. It
was a workout and finally someone had to finish the last few inches.

It should go up easier than that. Probably needed the track on or in the
mast lubed with silicon. When into the wind the sail should slide up easily
and fall under it's own weight onto the boom if the slides are lubricated
well. I think you were the victim of a less than well-maintained system.

Hardly. Can't you tell from how I go on and on when posting? ;-)

Nooooo.... well, I think you're just trying to make your point.


True, and if I have to heavily describe something from time to time it's
mostly because of the many pretend sailors around here who can't understand
what I'm talking about if I don't embellish somewhat. . .

I think they should shove those phones up people's rear ends.

There in California most of them would probably enjoy it, especially if the
ringtone was on vibrate. LOL!

What sport? Female athletes are hot!

I ran track. Mostly sprints and relay.


Impressive! Female track athletes are hot. I love the body type so much.
Nothing's more sexy and functional. You should try some competitive cycling.
I bet you'd do very well after a year or so training.

Ok... also, I don't have particularly short hair... shoulder length.
lol

That can be cured with scissors. Something like this is very sexy and
functional for sailing. Uses less fresh water to keep it clean and doesn't
get snagged in the equipment.

A nice stainless steel frying pan is my main cooking pan. I even cook
spaghetti in it. The frying pan definitely fits on the stove.

It's not the Teflon crap I hope. I think those are not worth it. Just
clean the fricken pan.

Heck no! Teflon always scrapes or flakes off. Bare polished stainless steel
is the only way to go on a boat. A little butter and salt to season it and
things don't stick at all. Mine would work great for omlettes as the bottom
is quite thick so hotspots don't develop.


Don't know what a Barista is other than some d00d behind the counter in a
Starbucks. I use one of these things - the Venus model.

Only makes one mug at a time but it's delicious.

This is what I have only mine is green. I had to take it apart and fix
the pump. It was clogged and wouldn't really do much.

A mechanic, too! I think I'm in love. LOL! That's a professional unit, looks
like to me. Must have the capacity to make lots of espresso.
