Guest Oyster Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Can anyone tell me the flaw in this boat? :wink: Quote
Dave R1 Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 It's not a flaw if you don't care where the wind and tide take you. Quote
Barry Pyeatt Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 You mean other than the pink gunnels? Obviously they don't have a port-a-potty and walking to the nearest rest stop isn't an option. :oops: :? Don't see any SPF Formula 9000 there either. And it is apparent that the Capt. of this charter fell overboard since the mainsheet is hanging off to the side as well. Might have taken some of the essential hardware with him too. :roll: Another Manatee tour takes a bad turn. :wink: Quote
Guest Oyster Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 Actually the colors are true Bahamian traditions. This is the before shot. What is so funny is that this "captain" is a well seasoned fellow for three major maritime museams, Philidelphia, Beaufort, and the current one in Cortez, and it also shows that no matter how long a person has been on the water, things can happen, as it did in this case, the rudder went for a swim upon launching off on the journey. :wink: Quote
Charlie Jones Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 I take it you had a good time? And this is the first of MANY neat boats we're gonna see pictures of? Welcome back. Quote
Tom Lathrop Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 And this is the same captain that ionce had a tooth broken by a sprits'l centerboard Maybe he has finally run afoul of one of the dragons he always promised were down there :twisted: Quote
Steve Day Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 That missing rudder didn't seem to bother them much. It appears both of them are still smiling. Or are they smiling at you guys falling off the dock laughing? Steve Quote
Greg Luckett Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 Can anyone tell me the flaw in this boat? :wink: Lack of a rudder maybe? Quote
Greg Luckett Posted April 7, 2006 Posted April 7, 2006 OIC, that has already been stated. Sorry, I just saw this thread.....slipping again I am. Quote
Guest Oyster Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 You know what that famous person says about laughter, "If we can't laugh, we'd just all go insane." Quote
Ken_Potts Posted April 8, 2006 Posted April 8, 2006 Famous person? I'm not sure who you're referring to but I'll mull it over a bit whilst I drink this here margarita... And as long as those folks on board enjoy the company who really needs a rudder? Rudders just get you back to work on time :twisted: Quote
jack grebe Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 what oyster is not telling you though, is his sailing skills got us close enough on the first pass to rescue the drifting rudder, then come about and deliver said rudder in their lap, again on the first pass......we shoulda sold um the rudder Quote
