Well, this thread strayed pretty far from where I envisioned it. Yet, with 67 posts, and over 1000 views, and not single argument or pissing contest, it seems it's led a useful life.
Summer's almost here - when life is good, and everyone has fun. I've got my boat in the driveway for its final detail. Suppose to be 88 degrees this weekend, 71. Are you ready for the summer? BKH |

There's some guys in white jackets, trying to find our club house, so they can take us all to the nut house.

Okay... These aren't common questions, but common knowledge: CC's are the best, CC's are fast, CC's are stable,... But crossing in one day Steve...?? But thanks for the 20 on propane...
So, next common questions 58: Who else will pinch in...? 59: Can I have some extra sized CCfan stickers for publicity purposes? (would look good in the Guiness Book of Records) 60: Can anyone access the planning of a propane freighter that will make the crossing around July 2009? (I might need to follow behind that one  )
61: How many hours would the engine clock (now 1667) show when arriving on US shores? 62: Will I be able to snatch the "Blue Riband" from the Danish "Cat-Link V" who made the crossing at 41,3 knots...???
(63: Am I out of my freakin' mind to ask questions like this?? ...Bet I know the answer to this one  )

So here's a few of the commonly asked questions from the spouses and significant others:
46. I've been skiing for 24 years, and have never missed a summer. But now that our first child is on the way, my wife is saying I need to sell the boat because we won't be using it for a few years - what do you think? 47. I'm new here. I'm wondering if it's just my husband, or did any of you try to teach your wives to drive a boat while yelling at her from the end of the rope? 48. I'm a diehard slalom skier, but now that we have our second child, my wife is insisting that we get a larger boat. She really likes the new Super Duper Air 290. Do you think this will satisfy my slalom cravings while providing the room our family needs? 49. I'm planning to get my new girlfriend into boating. Which do you think I should teach her first, back the trailer into the water, or drive the boat onto the trailer? 50. Is it true what they say - Perfect Pass, so simple even a fiance could use it.

45. Why does an engine run so much stronger, preform better, accelerate faster, sound meaner, etc. just because the distributor is in the back?

All I remember is he was a dock hand at a marina in I believe Texas. He even linked us to the marinas web site. I was always amazed after finding out how old he was that he had such a difficult time with the English language. |
