Ok, so we're going to be onboard JD for Thanksgiving, family is coming down later in the year and we're having a family affair then.

Soooooo. We thought of getting a turkey dinner from Boston Market and putting it through the blender for an easy onboard Turkey day.

Ideas?

It's just the expletive-rich version of the standard thumb script for text messaging, ROFLMHO.

Variant for sailors!

Hey Paul,
I clicked on your picture and watched the videos. Nice. BTW, the boat stuck in the sand looked like a Macgregor 26 water ballast boat. My brother has one, which had been donated to a Girl Scout camp before he bought it from them. It does have a dagger board. The OEM boards were hollow with a small hole in it near the bottom, allowing it to fill with water to help keep it down. The mast base plate extends over the dagger board opening on the deck by about 1", which makes it necessary to take down the mast in order to remove the board. My brother's board was rotted out at the bottom (the boat had been neglected) and we had to do that when he replaced it. Interesting thing is that the board had a wood framework under the fiberglass skin and it looked like it had been built around a wooden rudder. The piece was curved at the bottom like a rudder would be; almost like Macgregor had a supply of dinghy rudders and used them as a stiffening core for the dagger boards. Anyway, the people on the boat in your video must have been novices (maybe they had rented it) since, whether swing keel or dagger board, they should have raised it. The dagger board comes almost all the way up into the boat, making for an easy trailerable 26 footer and being water ballast weighing just slightly more than our C-22 on the trailer. I'm not going to get into seaworthyness issues. I've sailed with him on the boat and didn't like it!

We had Thanksgiving on board in our year-long voyage, in Charleston SC. It is my single fondest memory of a Thanksgiving. Karen made a turkey with all the fixings on a 2 burner electric stove, propane barbeque, toaster oven, and microwave.

Then we toured the city:

Paul:

I would get a meal from Boston Market but . . . would put the blender to better use. Margaritas, Pina Coladas, something the Pilgrims might have frowned upon but is consistent with nautical lore.

Cheers! And a very Happy Thanksgiving!
