O SEGREDO FROTA

scratch st. lucia...while my brother and his wife were visiting they stoped by the office of the dean of the new med school(his old collegue at the university of miami) and were exchanging pleasantries when the cops burst in and arrested his friend. four days later, the friend was released with really scary third world prison stories...turns out the new med school was arranged by the ruling party and the competing labor party had his buddy falsely arrested and tortured in a poorly conceived attempt to discredit the new school and ruling party...so my brother feels like the university of miami has been a good place to work and america is not that bad a place to live. not to mention intermittent power, scetchy sewege, gansta locals, and jail cells with no lights with 2 slices of bread and 2 cups of dirty water to drink each day...he used to think parking tickets were b%tch!

Other than that what is the problem. I think you should go. Buy a house with at least two extra bedrooms.

already found one...downtown mobile on government blvd...a real fixer upper!

west mobile or bust, buddy

speaking of the U, i'm down here in miami right now visiting my buddy that goes there. Sipping girly drinks on south beach with a 25knot E wind is what dreams are made of.

oh mama, could this really be the end? to be stuck inside of mobile with the memphis blues again...

lookin' for a chateau, 21 rooms but 1 will do...

i ain't moving nowhere, mississippi is cheaper to keep her!

well, its about that time again.... :yes:

dang straight...today was sweet.

This is one of many times I wish I was down south.

you have to watch out down here!...those doe-eyed country girls will ease you right in, spit out a family, and make you fat! next thing you know you will be saying things like "hows your mom-em-dem?" while eating some pecan pie at one of your 23 nieces/nephews birthday parties! happens all the time...

We call those moving down here and stayin' types: Damn Yankees

Bill them Irish/Italian northern girls can put a few pounds on you as well. I had to learn not to look around after I finished a meal or else she would go get more food. It's hell to have to pay good money to WeightWatchers just to loose enough weight to not have to worry about tipping the boat over just hopping on. At least I am getting down to the point where I can hop on!

it didn't help my case when i got the kegerator and pbr kegs were $45, was lucky they went up to $95...had to send it to a friends house while we were still under a ton!

The good news is that her namesake, the "BLUE RIBBON" remains in the fleet! :catchchicken:

laceing up the BLUE RIBBON and getting ready for saturday!!! steady winds and 76 degrees await. time for the stress test sea trials, mayby do ship island if feeling frisky! come on out, live a little why don't ya!!

Stretch that tramp TIGHT :kiffer2: Billy

Captain Coastrat,

It is time to tear that sweet lil' ole Gulf of Mexico's booty on up!!!
:hammer: :jumpclap: :freu: :banana: :catchchicken:
It ain't nothin' but a party.

Stretch that tramp TIGHT Billy

You know that is kind of an oxymoron. Most tramps I knew were already stretched. 😎

KAWABUNGA!!!...the "tight tramp", captain sideways, and i will be giving the blueribbon the full stress test tomorrow @ the secret spot...winds 18-20 kts southeast winds, lots of sun, and much beer ... dust off those boats and get u some!!! we prolly get there around 11ish...if your a feared, then say your a feared!

I hope to be there Saturday for the first time this year, fared my rudders, put a wearstrip on the bottom and reattached the decking. Now if I could just make it go fast.

i have an eye on the weather...

Coastrat, I think it's safe to say, that we did in fact, give her hell last Saturday

yes captain backasswards...the liver was evil and it was punnished. the sailing was radical too!!!!

supposed to be about the same forecast tomorrow, no?

:banana:

someone please go tomorrow(sunday)...small craft warnings, blue skies, just warm enough...shoot video/pics and post stories here so as to make me sick!!!

Too cold

mayby next weekend...

coastrat I went w/Glenn on Sunday... WHOO HOO... like a rocket.. foot an d DRIVE BABY... really really fast... just a few minutes to deer island... turn around and repeat till you're beat. then like fools we thought the wind died down (it did NOT) and thought that'd be a good time for some spinnaker practice... turn downwind... launch the chute... it's bliss and angels singing for about 3 minutes floating downwind on one hull... until we promptly learned a lesson, snuffed the honking sail... righted the boat, and high FIVED. Ah.. weekend complete. 😎
