Wild day at the dock
Wind is blowing 25 to 30 mph with a forecast of winds increasing today
to 40 mph with gusts over 60, it is making for a exciting day at the slip today. To make matters worse, over half of the boats have been hauled, so the wind is hitting the boat hard across the open water. Got the heat on, (44 degrees outside) lines doubled up, and I am watching Imus on MSNBC. He just had Terry Bradshaw on - that man is a total lunatic. I love the sound of the lines stretching as the boat sways and bobs around. Methinks a nap may be in order later. Life is good. Eisboch |

You'd be better off watching Roadrunner cartoons. Go update to Thunderbird .9. I happen to enjoy Roadrunner cartoons. Imus has changed quite a bit over the years. If you haven't seen or listened for a while, check it out. Eisboch |

I just returned from Nantucket and the Sound is white from one side to the other - amazing. This is the kind of day I like to go to the beach over in RI and put the truck on the rip rap, turn on the tunes and watch the waves go by.

I dated a girl for a while in college that was from Niantic. Nice place. --Mike "Short Wave Sportfishing" wrote in message ...

The state launch ramp down there is also very nice, but the exit to Niantic Bay is a little tricky - the passage under the railroad bridge is really fun when the tide is running full strength.
