Boating Sickness Relapse
Heeeyyyyy Rec.Boaters!
I decided to pop back in and am pleasantly surprised to see a few familiar "faces" are still hangin' out here. I've been out of the boating scene for awhile (Gawd - Four years?!!). Got married and am now doing the Landlubber thing (Took me d*mn near forEVER to unload the two stinkpotters I had!). ....And I've switched from "too many boats" to "too many Harleys" (Sucks to be me!!! ;-) Life on Terra Firma is good, though. I'm finding I really enjoy having things like a bona-fide BATHROOM, CLOSETS and a GARAGE - as opposed to a shower the size of a phone-booth (w/10 gallons of hot water), microscopic hanging lockers and my car rusting in the marina parking lot!). And I can run multiple appliances simultaneously!!!! (But I *really* miss being rocked to sleep every night!) Anyway, I'm babbling (as some of you may remember - I *do* have a tendency to do! ;-). I found I just couldn't stay away from boating! ....And I have a soft-spot in my heart for old boats "in need of lovin'!" So I've just adopted a 1967 Texas Tornado mono-hulled sailing dinghy. Hull #6!!! 16'6" LOA, 5'7" beam, swing-keel with a 160' sailplan (I think she'll be FAST!). I've even (kinda) revived the old webpage. I've decided to post progress on "The Restoration." This is a restoration where I hope to remain "true" to the boat's origins - rather than my old duct-tape, chewing gum, and globs-of-epoxy methods of repair (Necessitated, of course, by springing a leak directly over the v-berth at midnight, during a rainstorm)! I'll try to maintain a BoatBlog (probably not daily, but I'll TRY). URL: http://www.imqtpi.com/Dink.htm If anybody out in rec.boats land has had any experience with this type of boat, I'd welcome any advice! And I'll probably start lurking - maybe even posting - here at rec.boats again! "It's good to be back!!!" IMQTPI (Nancy) harleynan95123(at)yahoo(dot)com |

Those little boats are lots of fun. I took my 'White Sail' course on 420's at a naval base on our harbour back in 1984. http://www.abbottboats.com/420.htm |

We mostly saw Bluejays, Stars, and Lightnings. In fact there were relatively huge fleets of these boats all over the Connecticut side of LI Sound. My specialty was running Star sloops aground on sandbars in Milford Harbor. The boat drew 3' or so, and I always forgot it was a keelboat. My favorite, though, was always the Lightning. Flying Juniors were very popular here for small club boats in the 60's & 70's. http://www.ussailing.net/fjus/ |
Yeah, well, I've already done the 'over 30 feet' stint (times TWO
even!!!) - so I can probably "hold my own" with that crowd. My boss has a 52' Hatteras (you know, cost more than what hubbie paid for OUR HOUSE?!). I get to hear his Trials and Tribulations on a fairly regular basis. I often tease him about how his definition of boat-maintenance is "writing checks!" I also gasp openly (and chuckle inwardly) when I get to hear about his bills ($10,500 for a new dinghy davit?!! Ouch! Hate to guess what the Helipad's gonna cost!!!) I'm surprisingly satisfied (thus far) with my 16-foot Project. At least I think I can safely say I haven't "bitten off more than I can chew" with this one! I *like* that the boat is small enough to be a "hobby" - rather than a "chore!" (Easy for me to say that, 'cuz I can't AFFORD a 52' Hatteras ;-) And it'll be fun taking the dink out on our local lakes and teaching hubbie (a Manly "More-Power" Powerboater from way back!) how to sail... -IMQTPI (Nancy) HarleyNan95123(at)yahoo(dot)com |

Simply forward everyone of his "bite me asshole" flood posts to with the headers, then sit back and laugh when he no longer posts from there. Of course this warning will cause him to stop flooding now, since he's a spineless weakling. |
Oh my! Wasn't intending for my thread to turn into a Flame War! But
such is the nature of NG's, I s'pose... I tend not to dive into the bashing, but I may join some of the more lively (and *entertaining*) OT threads. I'll definitely keep my political opinions to myself. Glad to hear Peggie's still around, kinda. I always liked her (tho' I have NO use for her advice with the dink - I think a coffee-can will suffice! Better yet, a quick trip to shore!!! ;-) MadCow - I'd almost forgotten about her. I actually met her IRL a few years back. Nice lady, I thought. Still watching for a few more familiar names: Gould0738; Mike-Something-or-other (he was into those mondo-fast offshore racers IIRC), Eisboch. I'm sure there are others that I can't remember offhand. Ooh - I still have my rec.boats hat, even! .........Anyhoooooo, I'll pick 'n choose where I dive into the discussions... Honestly, I'd rather spend my time on the water anyway (Soon... Very soon...!!!) -IMQTPI (Nancy) HarleyNan95123(at)yahoo(dot)com |

Gould is still around, offering up useful reads about boats and
boating, and as usual, the right-wing scum here trashes him for it. Eisboch pops in on occasion. Mike...is that Mike from somewhere in Kansas? HAven't seen him here in a long time. Glad to hear Gould and Eisboch are still around. I always liked them. Mike... Yeah, I think maybe he was MikeG - and yes, Kansas does sound right (not much offshore racing there!). I'll keep lurking and see who else I see... -IMQTPI (Nancy) (still trying to navigate my way thru google.groups and figure out how to "Quote Text" yada yada.

"Doug",
Something to remember, while Harry is an asshole, the only sin Harry's wife has committed is to be married to Harry. Harry made his wife fair game for online barbs, by using her MD degree as his expert for the mental health of others. These online barbs are directed towards Harry and his online persona and not towards her. We should not encourage anyone to try to locate Harry home or telephone number.
