Christmas Hamgram from Flying Pig!
I got this hamgram via email from Skip and Lydia, becalmed offshore on
Christmas. Just thought I'd share it with the group: "Larry,I'm sending you this e-mail on behalf of KI4MPC who because of the holiday can't check into his normal net.All aboard are well, the boat is doing well.They are becalmed at 30.44.89N//081.10.81W course 140' spd abt 0.2 knots.They wish you a happy holiday and probably will be in touch with you tomorrow when the net returns to normal".....(sig of ham who sent it) I just looked into Google Earth to see where they are and I hope the boys on the subs out of Kings Bay can see them as that location is 14 miles off the entrance to St Mary's where the BIG boats come out of!....(c; Larry -- I found what I wanted for Christmas at Best Buy, but she wouldn't stop screaming obscenities while we were scanning her and forcing her into the bag! How was I s'posed ta know associate girls weren't on sale? |

Christmas Hamgram from Flying Pig!
I don't know how far the Coasties go out, but we were a mile or so out and
when one of those big boats came out, we were escorted way out of the way by a big rib that had a few automatic weapons in plain view. Leanne "Larry" wrote in message ...

Leanne I didn't see any Coasties or Navy gunboats when I came out of Kings Bay aboard USS Pennsylvania (SSBN-735), but that was before the 9/11 false flag ops. A couple of shrimpers gave us wide berth to avoid being swamped by the waterfall pushed up by the whole bow of the boat washing overboard in a huge wake just under the sail....(c; She adds new meaning to "NO Wake Zone"...

Larry I got another hamgram from Skip. They are under diesel power as there is no wind to power the Pig. There's a wren nesting in his shirt aboard, somewhere....???? The cat that adopted the boat......I dunno....a confusing message. Cats don't mix with birds, I don't care how snuggly they are! A cat is like a time bomb with its timer going haywire....you never know....
