On the serious side, that is nice work CD, looks great. The more I see your boat, the more daydreaming I do about my future.

TB-

The Impact test actually ivolved what could be termed "The Hand of God" as it swept down from the sky and not so gently directed the lego ship off the settee to the wooden floor below. As far as the length to displacement ratio, I can only summize that it was built for hard groundings and liveability (Like a Catalina)!!

Best Friend,

It is a comfortable boat, but 40 feet on any boat can get tight. Thus, buy a really fast dink. (smile).

Okay then, I'll just have to get the new Catalina morgan 44! Plus, I have one less rugrat than you do, who interestingly is also into Legos.
Is this fast enough? My new dink:

Bestfriend,

COOOOLLLLL! I need one of those. Still, I am not sure what will be more eye-catching: The new dink, or the davits to get it on the boat!!!

Your idea of a good looking guy is quite different from mine... but I generally ignore the guys completely...or so my wife used to say... BTW, you get hit pretty hard if the wife hears your neck muscles creak from turning your head too fast.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Vanity... thy name is CRUISINGDAD... they wouldn't if they knew about the shorts you buried and what was in them...

Matt- She never said I couldn't look... I just got whacked to remind me to be a bit more discreet about doing so...

Matt,

Thanks. And just in case Giu starts his Photoshopping, best just to turn off this forum right now. No telling how I am going to look soon!!
