Nice pics... I like Picasa a lot, btw.

I want to see a video of waves washing loose fenders overboard, Lydia
"losing it" and the cat ****ting itself.. not inside out lady fishes.

Ed note; corrected URL - Picasa has this nasty trait that if you ever
change anything, it gives you a new URL...

Not so much waves knocking loose fenders, but bashing into waves
putting mostly white but some green water over the bow. The fenders
are lashed to the rails immediately aft of the pulpit, and, as it
turned out, only one of the lashings, the front one, worked loose.

As a result, it was hidden from view (no way I'm going forward in that
stuff if I don't have to!) behind the PortaBote also lashed to the
rails, but aft of the fenders on port.

So, I fished it back over, and it's now located somewhat differently,
and again lashed to the rails. The fishing pole and reel,
unfortunately, launched, easily, from the tube, unnoticed (not that
we'd have done anything about it as it happened), likely from the
third reef line which, shortened by having the other reef engaged,
hung over the side a bit, in one of the rock-and-roll violences which
were sufficient, sometimes, to put the first RAIL in the water (green
water up to the portholes, securely dogged, thanks for asking, no
water in the boat).
Hm. Having said that, it may have simply washed out, as the mount to
the tube is under the first rail, conveniently providing a
water-cannon effect if it's under water! Lesson learned, ship the
poles in weather or any other time they're not with lines out,
convenient storage or not :{/)

No, we weren't taking photos at the time, sorry...

And, we later realized that Portia peed on the sofa only because the
waves were sufficient to close her potty lid. She's potty trained,
and the forward head's lid was closed due to the extreme heel. She
did the best she could :{)) - but couldn't hold it. Otherwise a very
fine sailor, she is, no barfing or ****ting or other effluvia. She's
good company, particularly for Lydia, who likes to play with her in
the cockpit on her night watches...

Thanks.

Seeing Lydia throwing her laptop over the side reminds me someone gave me a
laptop, a quite nice one, a Dell Latitude a while back. It was dead.
Wouldn't charge......

Oops...waitaminit! The little green LED on the power brick wouldn't light,
either! Hmm....The power cord is a standard power cord, so I put an old
one on it out of my goodie pile....to see if the switching power supply was
bad. Nope....green light lit up. Plugged in the Dell, booted right up to
WinXP Pro. Let it charge a couple of hours....great.

I tried to give it back to its owner but he'd already gone and bought a new
one, having an excuse to "upgrade" without his wife pitching a fit and he
made me promise never to tell her or let her see it running.

I haven't. One of my friend's daughter is in high school. It's hers,
now...(c; Daddy bought her a wifi router and cable internet for her 17th
birthday....

That's great Larry. I don't like Dell, they use to much proprietary
stuff, particularly the DC power connector on the laptop itself. I've
got one on my bench now, Dell refuses to sell me the connector, they
want me to return the whole shebang so they can charge me $250 bucks to
change a $6 connector. I'm waiting for the owner to get back to me, I
figure on soldering a few wires to the motherboard and piggybacking a
standard co-axial type DC connector externally.. might look a little
gnarly, but will only cost him $5 for the connector, $245 buys a lot of
ugly.
