Wassamatter Joe? We've seen you "working" on the back deck at home, beer and stogie in hand ... can't get WiFi on the boat yet?

:D

[Joe ( Cold Spring on Hudson )]

No stuck in my office doing uptime, it's dead no calls, made all my calls just killing time refreshing the WBF :(

You don't understand I NEED to go sailing, Tidbit is soooooo close I can hear her calling me. :eek:

[geeman]

Play hooky,,dont ya feel a bit ""under the weather"?

[uncas]

You don't understand I NEED to go sailing, Tidbit is soooooo close I can hear her calling me.

Is that why you don't answer your phone?

[geeman]

Go get on that boat and call it,""physical Therapy!!!!!!!!!While your on the boat think of something from work so ya can justify it

[TomF]

After all, together the cockpit and the rudder must have the same area as a good sized city lot.

[uncas]

Rub it in Joe
Keep it up!
Whe you are still on the Hudson, I'll be in Nova Scotia and Maine...Oh, and Newport inviting all of those young women on my yacht for cocktails.
Umm see anything there worth discussing?

[Joe ( Cold Spring on Hudson )]

Firehouse flags I'm staring at across the street from my office. :(

Geez Joe. An hour and a half since your last post ... I was sure you were on the water by now. :D

If you're still here, stop in at the "story time" thread. We've been taking your name in vain.

t.

[uncas]

I see the flag is at half mast.
Is that because you are not out on the river?

[Dolly Varden]

Joe-

unless you want to extinguish the peace pipe i expect civil behavior extended toward my friends such as rick clark and jack heinlen.

savvy?

[Joe ( Cold Spring on Hudson )]

I don't bully well
Incase you haven't noticed ;)

Jack what jack ? Haven seen him have you ? ;)

Post like this will not go far in the peace process. Concern yourself with the you and me and not me and anyone else. You are not my master, folla :)

By the way I'm off to go sailing see ya later

Lots of photos I hope :)

[Dolly Varden]

your one to talk of bullying

grow up or suffer the consequences

[mmd]

Children, play nice or go to your room!

[Joe ( Cold Spring on Hudson )]

grow up or suffer the consequences

Hmmm sounds like the pot calling the kettle black ;)

We are working dangerously close to the three strikes your out rule.
Itching to try the ignore feature :D

[Matt J.]

I thought you were going sailing.

What's with half staff on the flag? And that doesn't look like much wind.

So we went out sailing a lil

Storm clouds starting to form over the aptly named Storm King Mountain

[Joe ( Cold Spring on Hudson )]

So with life's time constraints and the mounting weather we dropped the motor.

And headed home

[Peter Malcolm Jardine]

The flag at half mast!?!?!?!? What for???

[Joe ( Cold Spring on Hudson )]

The flag at half mast!?!?!?!? What for???

I swear Pete they should have that flag and bunting on remote control, seems like if some old timer who used to live in Cold Spring in the last 100 years for any amount of time gets the flag at half mast when they pass away. I have seen that bunting and flag at half mast three out of four weeks a month.

That last pic might be MMIKE...

[Phillip Allen]

It was just the "determined" pose by the guy in the back...

[Joe ( Cold Spring on Hudson )]

Ya know it kinda does :D :D

[Joe ( Cold Spring on Hudson )]

Thats cool I just wanted to see if you could use that move tool and move this entire thread from the bilge to Mis Boat Related. It worked no problem.

[Joe ( Cold Spring on Hudson )]

Got the LUST again today :D
but gonna spend some time working on Dove
But this afternoon maybe ........ :)

[uncas]

Keep rubbing it in Joe...Keep it up.
You know what buttons to push...ARRGGHHHH!

I'm out of here next weekend...Taxes will be mailed Monday, I'm packed
Ceiligh has learned to use the piece of astro turf for her...ummm...business!
I got an EBS to go to. A lot of work on Uncas and Hawkeye to complete, new sails! Ah can't wait to see the emblem on the asymtrical....Big!

Just wait until next summer. I'm gonna have WiFi figured out and then...the pictures!

[Phil Heffernan]

Great pics Joe...that was a great afternoon revitalizer, I must say...

Talked to Gordon R***son today...We can soak Dove in his pond when the time comes...He also suggests a tarp & 2x4 frame 'pool' for her...we'll discuss...

Nothin' beats gettin' the boat in in April...cures the wintertime blues sure as sh*t:D

Tidbit's causin' quite a stir in the neighborhood...People ain't used to seein' bee-you-ti-ful boats nowadays...;)

Let's go out tomorrow...

PH

[Phil Heffernan]

And so we did...from noon to six pm we sailed a total of 18 miles up & down the mighty Hudson...winds were perfect at 10 knots, easy enough to practice our moves, stiff enough to get up some speed at times...Temp in the mid 70's, sunny and bright...I'm FINALLY thawed out from the winter...

Tidbit performed flawlessly, very forgiving, and easy as pie to tack upwind & down...Now I see why people love catboats:D

One of the truly great sailing moments of my short life, cause the boat was our'n, nobody captain but US! :cool:

Stealing a moment from the universe...

PH

[Figment]

Is this pic for real, or is this a bit of photoshop magic?
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid204/p6936ffb1e81fe69431e128bd02453dd2/ef73ab78.jpg

I can't remember the last time I saw a boat docked in a slip longer than the boat itself. My finger barely goes 5/8 of my length!
Such luxuries up there in Cold Spring!

[Sailor]

Choose your words carefully figment ;)

[Phil Heffernan]

Real as rain, me boyo...Tidbit is short (17') next to most stinkpots in the club...

In a world where more is less, though not realized...less is more is KING :cool:

[StevenBauer]

But why hasn't Joe posted pics yet? That's what I want to know. I think he's slipping. :D
