If you were not able to see the post about Old Codgers latest adventure, go to the Boating and Cruising section. It is there in a readable form. Let me know what you think of these stories as a "Picture Essay".

Old Codger was complaining to me that no one has commented on his trip to the messabout that he told y'all about in the Boating and Cruising Stories part of the Forum. He named it: Old Codger Attends the 2020 B&B messabout

I told him that maybe no one noticed it down there.

Well, I read it somewhere.  Enjoyed it.  Liked the cozy cabin and the big spray, among other things.

thanks Chick for reminding me. Read yesterday and enjoyed it very much.

Please give my regards to the Old Codger who seems to be quite young at heart - in spite of his name. Maybe like his creator and maybe like most of us???

My dear wife at least was a bit surprised to hear that others speak with- and about their boats like that too ( she herself is a master in wording our dog’s thoughts though)

Poor Old Codger is stuck out in his car...boat port until spring. Mainly 'cause I gotta heal my big toe.

@Wommasehn— It always makes me nervous when Chick says his boat talks to him.  

[Chick Ludwig]

Awww, Don. Ya jut don't understand the relationship of an old cracker-boy and his boat. All the time conceiving, building, finishing. Nights lying awake working out the intimate details, fretting, and lavishing time and love eventually imbue the boat with a special "sole"---a life of it's own. Maybe only Southern boats reach such a high level of conscientiousness.

I know I speak to my boats and boat projects,  sometimes in a manner  not to be published in this forum, but in my favorite anchorage with the winds blowing through some tall pines they speak to me.  

[Paul356]

No doubt about it.  Boats and their builders talk to each other.

[Chick Ludwig]

Thanks Jay and Paul for the support! They may come and take us away, hey-hey! But we'll go together!....WITH our boats!

You guys are nuts, but you’re still my buds.

We may be the nuts, just hope you're not the squirrel!
