painkiller will become famous soon enough
I learned about gloves during a race when I tried to save an errant spinnaker by grabbing its un-snubbed sheet. ZIP! went the sheet and I had a nice burn on my palm. That was day one of a three day regatta and the salt water kept that burn irritated all weekend.

Hmmmm, I believe that was the winch handle I was using on Thursday when it was blowin' 22-25kts, the rail was in the water and I needed to tighten up.

I don't remember any marks to make or kevlar sails....I guess my brut strenght just ain't cuttin' it, I am JUST a sailor GIRL...

Well, if you weren't in such an all-fired-hurry, you could just luff up, haul in and then fall off again. You...you...racer you.

And no, I don't sail a Sunfish, I eat em.

[QUOTE=knothead;535161 if you weren't in such an all-fired-hurry[/QUOTE]

Gypsy Palace needed to gallop...I just can't say no...I do spoil her

It's all my fault..

Poetry anyone? I fired my canvas guy Friday.


Long ago, I hired a guy

To bulid me a canvas dodger & fly

I agreed to a price & I gave him my money

Now month's have gone by & he think's it's funny

We had a Nor'easter & it rained in my boat

As soon as I catch him, I'm grabbing his throat

I'll squeeze out the bllsht & all of the lies

I'll torture his ass, until he complies

I want my canvass & I want it now

If I don't get it- you're going down

Beneath the sailboat-across the keel

Believe me my friend, I'll make you squeal

Get down here soon & work on my boat

Don't be a fool- don't think I won't



He's a talented guy with no business sense or organization-an artist of sorts, sorry man, winter's here, I'm not freezing cuz you're lazy......FC is going to reduce my therapy bill NEXT THING YA KNOW I'LL BE OFF MY MEDS

metal polishes
teak oils
bleach
and a hint Tide, for freshness

A scent only a sailor could love on his woman

By "real yacht", do you mean "fire hazard"? Sailorgirl has enough accelerants in that bucket to ignite it with a warm thought.
