I know where a medium sized cat might be for sale, right on the south side of the back bay. She'll need work, but she needs to be saved. Well, it's not quite that bad.
She is one of these:
A Malcolm Tennant "Great Barrier Express" catamaran. The group who own her may want to sell the boat, I'm not sure. I know one of her owners and if you're really interested I'll find out for ya.
She can be seen if you drive west on Bayview Ave, I wanna say she's near Maple St. She'll be the only cat you'll see. White with black antifoul (antifoul ain't working btw)

coastrat

Did y'all get out yesterday? Was it expensive? 😉
we got there 9 am...the sun felt nice...the wind was a little too chilly for our heat loving, lilly white azzes. we chickened out and went fishing at the old broadwater marina, and caught NOTHING. but still had a great day of coast fun...don't laugh my northern cat brothers, i'm genetically engineered for the tropics and only like my beer cold!
coastrat
well it'll be a couple weeks before we can get out again. If Jay can get out on a Friday we'll see if y'all want to come sail on Miz Boudicca. Or do you ever sail on the weekend?
would love to sail on the Miz Boudicca with y'all! don't have a wetsuit and gear for cold water sailing on the blue ribbon...fixing to break her down for the season for some sail repairs and other upgrades, mayby get in another day or so before then. i'll be in touch!

sweet! love the music too...love me some deer island, it's like having a beer store next to horn island...convenient.
coastrat
ok..was holding out for one more day but think i will break down the ole blue ribbon for the season. sails and tramp off to sailcare, new mast base, new dolphin striker, new standing rigging, fresh lines, install trap(now that i have lost enough weight to fit in harness :banana: ), some trailor upgrades, and another saints superbowl win...that should do it!!!
coastrat
Friday looks like a day made for sailing, high of 76, winds 10-15, come on mister! :guitar:
you have a point...there is still enough healthy liver for another spin! i'm headed to the coast right now to meet the folks for some high balls and steaks, this time mayby we won't puss out and put the boat in the water! :prost:
coastrat
:heul2: :jumpclap: :kiffer2: :sick: :kotz:
It's an ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS day, and I was driving past the spot and saw an empty trailer. So who's out there?

sadly it wasn't us, had to frickin work, have to work tomorrow and play a gig sat night so probably no sailing sunday...it's killing me...just want 1 more day(or 10) before i break her down for repairs and maintenance...just 1 more!!!!
coastrat
You'll get time... I wouldn't even think about taking a real break until January. When I had only my small boats I sailed all year. If you think about it, Jan and Feb are the really icky months, wouldn't you say?
i have had many a 77 degree christmas...t-shirt mardi grass, short pants superbowl parties,...and a snow storm in april!!! if you don't like the weather, just wait a while. i have some pressing sail repairs but the tape still holds! the islands are most beautiful in the winter anyways...water is clearer, sky bluer, and mosquitos gone.
coastrat
next monday?...just sayin'...
coastrat
some osyc folks (glenn, chuck, and I) are kicking around the possibility of an overnight on Horn on Sat.... dep OSYC around noon-ish.... easy cruise to the Horn, fish, fire, and be mellow.
H14T, H18SX... Ocean Springs, MS www.osyc.com
that sounds great...but sat is the last tailgate of the season and won't be able to make it...dang. but i am eyeing monday. sunday is off for me also. but i might be able to wiggle monday!
coastrat
