Had a fun night last night in St Martin when Zanshin and Killarney_Sailor decided to have a beer with moi at the St Martin Yacht Club.

From left is Arnd from Zanshin, Mark from Sea Life, Bruce and June from Ainia better known here as Killarney_Sailor.

Now that was a great night!!

Excellent you all. Now come to Thailand. Beers on me.

Love to hear of these kinds of SN meet-ups! Always interesting to put faces and in-person personalities to a user id!

Looks like a good time was had by all. Bruce and June, you seem to be moving north pretty smartly!

 

[CalebD]

And how cool is that?
Heck, I am happy if I get to meet 1 or 2 local sailnut sailors every few years or so. But you globe trotting types really know how to pick a location for a meet up!
Fantastique!

Those dead green soldiers on the right-hand side of the picture most certainly did not belong to us (anymore).

Obviously, Mark wasn't imbibing that evening. LOL
Hi guys, how's it way up north?

 

[Minnewaska]

So close, but so far. Was nearby a few weeks ago. Next time!

Yes, between the lot of us we only had 4 beers!

BTW we didnt talk about:
Anchoring
Anchors
Guns
Ketches vs tripple masted junk rigs
Catamarans vs monos

We talked about:
Sport, why Hockey is played on a green field of grass instead of white icy stuff.
Anchorages in Easter Island (ok, even I was left out of that one!!)
Best chandlery in the world (none, but St Martins are second best)
Sex: only when the barmaid loaded up our table again
By the end of the night:
Aussies think kangaroo's are v cute whereas NZ'ers prefer sheep.

And all the rest I don't remember but it was fabulous

Really sorry I missed it, and am SORELY wishing I had looked you up when we were there in February. We'll be back next Feb... any chance of a second chance then? Oh... and the four beers... ummm... that's an appetizer..

Good on you all.

Could have use some advance notice next time. What do you think Caleb, maybe a couple months to get there?

Let me know if you need a fairly inexperienced crew.. willing to cook and clean... or should I put that in another forum?

[MedSailor]

There's a lot of years of sailing experience at that table! How many circumnavigations I wonder?

only 4 beers??!!! Oh, I see. You were drinking rum.

The dude on the left is NOT zanshin. There is not the prerequisite 3 stacked crew helpers......or maybe they were NOT at the bar......or under the table when pic as taken.....

hmmmmmmmmm..........more info needed to verify status.

I thought I heard a Security call on Channel 16! Looks like a great meet up.

I think the dog in your signature could handle four beers!

Looks like a great time. I have met a few people from here.

Do you think I'd trust any female crew to that shifty-eyed character second-from-left in the picture?

Regarding those green bottles in the picture, those were just one person's portion. And those Heineken bottles are small, too. Real sailnetters go for Caribe or Presidente for true happy-hour bang-per-ml.

Let's do it! You bring the tequila!

Looks like you guys had a great time. Wish I could have been there.

 

[killarney_sailor]

And June is not nearly that tall. She was standing one step up. Had a great time. The other two were anchored in the nearby Dutch section of the island. We had to go all the way to France to find our boat - and did!

 

[blt2ski]

Zan,

I would NOT trust any female crew member with those three....ooops, better include smacky just because, so 4 shifty eyed males with my female crew!

Or if I include fuzz ball, or a few others......oh dear oh me oh my!.......
