O SEGREDO FROTA

secret spot tomorrow!!! time to earn my parts and get this old boat tuned up for a friend. look for some guys on a boat...that's us...or not.

i'll be glassing some dings on a sunfish at osyc after church...maybe will see you there? cheers,rob.

attention....secret spot is now closed! there are 2 barges wth cranes anchored up and the old piers are pulled up. not sure what the plans are but i hope they don't ruin it for us sailors...had a nice time @ ocean springs yacht club again, lotta nice folks down there!

Sux about the spot. I'm going to try to figure out what is going on there. I sure hope we will have beach access. Just not too many places round here that you can drive right out on the beach.... Maybe on the OS Side. Thanks for everything Rat!!!! I'm going to make west marine VERY happy. 🙄 😆 I hope your crossbar works out right for you!

Public pier & boat launching ramp This facility is currently awaiting repairs.

Currently, the ramp is usable and the pier is not. The pier will be rebuilt at a later date.

Secret Spot Revealed?

That is correct sir.

i hope they just tear down the old piers and leave it as is, only kayakers and us use it regularly any how...looks like they dug up the old boat launches too, good riddance!!!... the last thing i want to see there is a nice new pier and boat launch = there goes the neighborhood. dang bp money!...go improve someone elses beat up pier! it would be sweet if they just cleaned up the piers/launch and forgot about it.

It's such a convenient location I bet they clean up all the old pilings, build a big concrete ramp, and build two really long modern docks on each side of it, with ramp/walks all the way to the road to completely block out the beachcats. Does that nearby parking lot have trailer parking? If not they will probably build a big trailer parking lot too!

Anybody you could talk to and get some input? Beach access is precious.

Yes, I'm going to send the Mayor a few of my girls for the night this Thursday. This will ensure the project goes to the liking of cat sailors. Mayor happy = beach access. :girl: :dance:

i hope not. the biloxi small craft harbor is less than a mile from there.

i heard that damon's prediction is the winner...if they just left the left side open like it is then it's ok...you can still angle the trailor over to the water. 2 finger piers 100' each with 40' new concrete ramp(planned). increased parking would be nice and mayby a freshwater hose would top it off! the water is deep enough when you leave the beach you can put down the rudders quickly which is nice when sailing between 2 piers. i found a few other spots like it along the coast but the location of secret spot is awesome and i would like to keep sailing from there.

pleasure to meet you this weekend...

this is a Latimer Boy, transplanted.... the OS folks are always like "you live all the way in Latimer"... as if it WAS a foreign country... well to them, perhaps it is. 🙂

Damn shame Bill, sounds like they are hellbent on making you use your beachwheels in all that fluffy BP sand. Over here we just throw up the stick and back down to the water. Of course that crushed shell we pretend is sand is real hard on the keels. That's why I ended up going with Marine Tex on mine, having white keels helps too.

the place was so far under the radar, one time this wild azz dood and his posse tried to circle the beach in their winnebago and almost had the angle to make it back to the blacktop but missed it by that much...sunk...couldn't believe he made it over that much fluffy stuff, he must have been haulin' azz. he and the "family" moved in for a few months and had a blast. not sure why they left, prime location, catch shrimp/fish/oysters right off the beach, prolly have to keep moving if you are those folks. and by the way, the morning after he sunk the ship in the sand, a nice old gent from the biloxi yacht club drove a tractor across the street and pulled him out...for free! the dood was stoked, soaking up the hospitality!

Been bothering me for a while, but didn't want to ask in hopes of not making public my lack of culture, but just what the heck does "O Segredo Frota" mean? Closest I could come up with was a "crowd somewhere in Brazil".

the secret fleet

Had to do a google translate when I first wondered that. But it just sounds so much cooler then secret fleet. 😎

any of you locals need a trap harness? I have an extra one i dont need.. and its brand new. Its a Large hobie half/bucket harness, still in plastic wrapping.

now when you say large?....picture me in it...compose yourself...think it will fit me?...forget previous image...and answer the question, sorta honestly...

Give me a call next time you are in the area and i'll let ya try it on.

gonna swap crossbars/castings and get the boat ready for this saturday, anybody else thinking the same? i was in gulfport yesterday and it was a dream day...stiff wind out of the sw, perfect horn island day. if it blows half as hard i'll be lucky! come on out! the liver is evil, it must be punnished...

Bill.... Nice shot of you and the canned poison.. Thought about dental work ?? Hal

Funny thing Bill, we have a P16 driver that sails with TCDYC that drinks Blue Ribbon. Until Hal mentioned the picture I never thought of that. If you ever get up to Milwaukee you have to try some there, it's real good up there!

This boy looks like 1/3 of a ton and with my fat A** on the ramp we are getting to half a ton quickly.. (laughing too hard to respond right now).. OK OK.. I am better.. On the strait now. I know you pack the makeup kits for them but how do you talk the "cool" ones into a cruze?? AND get them to wear a cap so the spikes dont fu*k up the tramp. Do they drain the keggers ? Looks like that boy(??) would so U should have a keg or two on board. They be easy then !! (Got it !! cant stop laughing ). U da man !! Especially like the lip gloss and the cheek hi-lite.. Thank god I got this early cus i prolly be giggel-en til late hrs.. ! en no sleep.. Cheers Hal

Trusted Coastrat with the consulting for my new enterprize her selling used cats.. (Acutlly collecten old ones). Thought I might use the inter-net to check up on the boy.. O SEGREDO FROTA Lookes likee the best collection of Mr Bills stuff.. Going to learn how to do posting of photos from the old days when he was younger an a bit slimmer.. Less PBS's on bord) and some of the comments when he had a brain cells less screwed up by the hotties. Not sure hot to start but..

"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

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

dang straight...today was sweet

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! Mike Brady

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!

It is time to tear that sweet lil' ole Gulf of Mexico's booty on up!!!

It ain't nothin' but a party"

Just sayen Mr B.. Lets talk about the contract !!

well hal, got the boat fixed...drug it down to the coast..rigged her up...and tore that booty on up. feels sooo goode...
coined a new term this weekend "you learn more than one thing from a mistake, hopefuly..".
got to feel the warmth of lightning storms all around...
it's good to be fat when the winds pick up real fast...
apple bottom coast-trashy waitresses make the po-boys taste better...
the gulf of mexico feels like a hot tub...
ice is cheaper at those ice vending places, now near my houese...
that's all i can remember...the hotties melt my branez!!!
