Scott Dunsworth Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 Been telling myself I was going to spend New years eve on our Islander 28 and go on a New Years Day sail. Must be getting to old for real adventures, just to cold for this old wuss. 3 degrees and 14 for the high, just cant do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Tiger Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 I tried to sail, but the wind missed our date. I drifted around in a sailboat. Peace, Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick Ludwig Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 Well, Tiger, seems like I heard somewhere that "...simply messing about in a boat....". You know the rest. Hmmm, that get's me to wondering. What IS it about sitting in a boat that is so satisfying? Why is it better that sitting in a car, or in a chair at home, or...? Maybe we should all contribute our ideas about this. Maybe get a big government grant to study it. Ya know what makes the messing even better? Munching on Vienna sausage and sipping Real Southern Sweet Tea. HEY Y"ALL, QUIT THROWING THINGS AT ME!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Action Tiger Posted January 13, 2018 Report Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) Our day was fantastic! We took a kid to the lake who had never been. Our oldest two paddled her around in the big punt like she was the Queen. She loved it. Youngest got to row around with me a bit, paddle around with the bigs. It was great fun.

Chick Ludwig Posted January 14, 2018 Report Share Posted January 14, 2018 Gosh, sorry we missed it. It DOES sound like fun. Everything's frozen here in the mountains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Potts Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 I braved the January heat yesterday (I said that just for the enjoyment of those of you who have just pried a snow shovel out of your poor, frozen hands) and took two friends out for a sail. There wasn't much traffic on the river but we managed to get into a race with a larger boat that is almost 20 years newer than mine*. I think we beat them but I'm not sure if they noticed we were racing. My crew snapped these pictures as we overtook them. * Witchcraft (my boat) was launched around 1980. The Duyfken replica was launched in 1999. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
