Christmas Eve for us. A jolly old bah humbug from me to you all. Hope old Santy Claws brings you what you wish for and if the old bugger doesn't come through may you be able to put on a brave face. :)

Sailhog is bound to be disappointed......Tiger Woods having taken care of most of the available trollops.

Cheers to you all.

Wombat and Wombet both.

Whoops...image file didn't work...no idea why....proably cos it was a bit vulgar....

Happy Holidays, Mr. Wombat, and the same to all our Sailnet members too.

Folks,

I and I suspect my fellow moderators will not be as readily available during the coming week. Hopefully we'll have sporadic coverage, but please have patience if things aren't always running up to snuff. Thanks for your understanding.

Have a safe Holiday and a Happy New Year! - JRP

Merry Christmas everybody.

Here's a little poem for the holidays. :)

The Night Before Christmas

Author: unknown

T'was the night before Christmas, I swung on the hook
With snowflakes a'landing, asleep with my book
When up on the deck I heard footsteps and stuff
"I've been boarded!" I thought, and I tried to be tough
Then down the companionway hatch came a dude
He was dressed like a nut and I thought, "I'm so screwed"
But he laughed and he hummed as he surveyed my junk
So I figured he must be the resident drunk
His eyes were lit up like a junkie on speed
But he gave me a whole bunch of stuff that I need
Like rum and cigars and new charts and a dinghy
And some kind of fancy electrical thingy
I knew it was stolen but I wasn't telling
I just hoped he was giving and wasn't just selling
And I poured him a grog which he downed with a wink
Then I poured one for me (Lord I needed a drink!)
Then he staggered above to the dark snowy night
As I peeked I beheld an incredible sight
Eight tiny dolphins and a beautiful sleigh
And the dude hopped aboard and prepared to make way
The dolphins were ready to power the sled
But the guy raised a genny and mains'l instead
With a burp and a chuckle he gathered the breeze
And called to the dolphins, now swimming with ease
"Hey Stalker and FEMA and Cancer and Nixon!
Or Stinky and Pepper Spray, Mason, and Dixon!
Or whatever your names are, you cute little fishes,
Here's to every last sailor, my best Christmas wishes!"
As he sailed away leaving a wobbly wake
I hoped he had not many stops left to make
He got close to shore and he soon was aground
But the dolphins proceeded to pull him around
And I heard him exclaim as he sailed out of sight
"Merry Christmas to all, and to all a goodnight!"

Merry Christmas to the moderators and the rest of us. For the next week the mods have graciously assented to give every member in good standing with 500 or more posts all the moderator privileges. It is generally pretty slow around here this time of year so we will see who is left come the new year! Game on!
