So. Cal. sucks!
With temps in the low 70's & 15-20 knot winds blowing, how are we supposed to get the girls topside in their bathing suits while sailing?? You guys in Hawaii & south Florida have it made with the good weather! I can't wait for summer to finally get here!
We had been talking about it for awhile now, but I finally got the boys out sailing yesterday! Scott (450KnottOffice) and his wife Dawn, Richard (Motion) and Lily, my girl Sandra and myself went for a day sail out of Long Beach. Our boat, 4th from the left. Queen Mary on the right, dwarfed by a Carnival Cruise ship. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1204610356.jpg Our boat "Charasmatic" a 42' Catalina with the gang onboard. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1204610423.jpg Clockwise from left: Scott, Dawn, Sandra, Lily, and Richard. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1204610498.jpg Richard & Lily http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1204610574.jpg Scott at the helm... Always the pilot!:D http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1204610626.jpg The Skipper (ME!) and his Mate. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1204610716.jpg |
Did you shave? Rolling Rock, what's the 33 stand for? Ah, drinking and boating. Remember, no dumping!

Lily oh Lily. |
You were very close to where I live - in fact I go running by that section of the marina just about every day. Very cool.
That water has to have been C-O-L-D though! |

Patrick, THANK YOU for the awesome day! We had a great time learning the subtleties of sailing from Captain Pat and gabbing with his lovely mate, Sandra and Scott & Dawn. Nice day!

Thanks for the pics, Patrick! We had a great time.
(I'll see you in a couple of hours) |
Great pics (referring to the boat and scenery, you understand)!
But, am I to understand that you Cali boyz are complaining about the weather ??!!?? You should spend a couple of weeks in Sweden in February. That will calibrate your weather - judgment scale! :D |
It was "only 82" on Sunday here. The margarita's tasted terrible sitting by the pool in the sun...
I really feel sorry for you guys! |
Quit yur whinin, it's 26F here and were still trying to get our girls out of their long johns. parkas, and toques.

You poor people!
Somebody melted all your pow-pow! That is so sad. Here is a pic for you. It's the least I can do to help you think about all the fun you could be having. Better luck next year! http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1204659251.jpg |
