Greetings my friends, haven't posted for a while, but I do stop by and read once in a while. You're looking great here! For those that don't know me, I used to trailer sail a 250 WB untill I got a bad case of 17 foot-itis....

Meanwhile, I now co-host my very own forum......

http://www.midnightwatch.org

You're invited to stop in and visit. Currently my partner in the forum, Dave, is in Sweden where he has just taken delivery of "Auspicious", his shiny new HR40.... And he's getting ready to bring her home to Annapolis. He's writing us daily reports, and will continue to do so at sea via SSB to me, and I post them to the board....

Also on the crew is George, aka thatboatguy who is a very talented writer. His Trip Reports are found here:

http://www.skolnick.org/midnightwatch/bb/viewtopic.php?t=661

Finally, at the end of the month Lady Kay is going to make her semi annual trek, this time North from Fort Lauderdale to the Chesapeake, myself the (solo it looks like) crew. I too will be posting reports.

So if you like to read and armchair sail, come on over!

No nudity outside of context on that board....not a very good incentive.

Ahoy Oscar! Good to see you pop up every now and then.
I may be doing some water deliveries myself. Last Maundy Thursday and Good Friday I crewed with Capt. David Pfefferkorn the owner of a new Beneteau 373. His brother is a friend of mine and was supposed to go with us. We took the boat from Jax-FL to Charleston-SC. And then last Wednesday there was a spot on the news about a 70 yr old couple who had taken on a foot of water in the cabin 66 miles off Jax. They were on their way to NC from the Bahamas and had to be towed in by the USCG. Then Capt. David calls me and says that they are his neighbors and would I take care of them. So I go out to Mayport and meet them and they have a 36 Olsen (sp?). I had to go up the mast to retrieve a runaway halyard and used my shop vac to remove a lot of water out of lockers and the cushions. My wife and I just got in from having dinner with them. Jim Brown has circumnavigated the world. And he had lots of stories to tell. Both of these guys are fantastic examples of seamanship. I gave them both a hand full of business cards hoping for some more deliveries. If Jim's buddies don't come down from NC then I may be going back up the outside with him. I think I'm starting to get that bigger boat disease!

Hey Oscar,
Great to hear from you.
While on my yearly 3 week vacation in the Keys with my 25 the marina manager told me that in the Keys "the Billionaires are buying out the Millionaires"
Many of the small marinas are going dockominium.
I'm glad that we know at least one person who can still afford a larger boat.
Don't forget to send us some pics every now and then. some of us like me enjoy living vicariously.
Keep on enjoying yourself, and don't be a stranger here
