cs Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Well finally after way too many years of construction, Fred has hit the water. The weekend was great for sailing, but I wasn't able to get out till late due to a quick visit to the emergancy vet, but that is another story. By the time I got to the lake the winds were starting to die of a little. During the day we were having winds in the 5-10 mph range. By the time I got there they were still in that range, but now they were more flakey. But anyway a good time was had by all, except the dog who was having surgery. The reason I was late getting to the lake. Chad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild_Dingo Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 And for the twerps like yours truely who cant figure out why Chad would call his boat "Fred"... its all cause of that one little sheila in the first pic!! :wink: Shes called Fredrika and way back when little Fredyricka was but a speckle in her old mans eye he started to build a wee boat... so it was just natural that Chad bein the great proud papa he is to call his wee boat after his major league little ball of beauty and so "Fred" came to be 8) As to the other two little hoonberrys in the pic... well the laddie out the front is called "Oi You" and the other sheila is called "Oi Buggalugs" thats so that Chad doesnt get confused... you know between "Fredyricka" "Fred" "Oi You" and "Oi Buggalugs" as you do :roll: Fredyricka is the capn of this ere wee ship and so everythin she says goes... else theres major league tearin of hair screamin tanties and much stampin of tiny footsies... this Admiral Chad cant allow since the decks are only ply not regular plankin and he must keep his crew in order somehow... callin the wee boat "Fred" has mollified Capn Freddyricka immensely and now shes a foine capn an patiently waitin for delivery of the 9 pounder Admiral Chad ordered Avast ye blaggards Capn Freddyricka is on the scene aboard the good ship "Fred"!! 8) Well done to one and all... and it looks like a great day was had by all 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
