O.K. ladies here’s an opportunity to have a mid-week retreat full of laughter. Wheter you spectate or actively participate the annual big folks in little boats regatta is about to unfold. This Wed. at about 5:30 pm at MYC stroll out to the end of the t-dock for some good ol’ fashion laughter. With luck I’ll christen my 5.5 year pram building project. With even more luck she’ll float faster than those high-faluttin’ fiberglass hulls of modern day technological advances. Regardless, come have a mid-week break, See you there.
Yea, another project done,,,,,,,,,,,,, next sell Rochelle's recumbent, clean my office, write about Abaco, get the slide show done, and prepare for a winter sailing adventure

Getting things done
Whew, finally there was time devoted to SPRAY. As you may recall SPRAY is my 28 ft. trimaran who provided a great home for last summer's 6 week jaunt to, around and from Abaco. When I returned from this great adventure I was afforded a crew for the all women's racing series. Before I knew it, two months had gone by during which time SPRAY was neglected.
Thankfully, with the help of racing crew, Sherry Mac, SPRAY is once again a shining example of a simple to sail, beautiful to look at, and comfortable boat to sail locally and for distant cruises. Even moreso is that I was able to submit an article to Southwinds Magazine. I received notice today that the article will be published. YIPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEE. Thanks to tennis friend and loyal Sunday morning bridge walking partner and my seminar leading colleague, who also crews on my racing team, we have an article that will appear in a respectable sailing mag.
In addition to life being good, I had a funny communication from a sailing website I tried to sign up for. At 1design.com there was a link for Adventure Lifestyle or something like that. Anyway I tried to register for 1design.com which is hosts a multihull forum. Then, I got an e-mail asking for my parent(s) to sign a form and fax or snail mail it back. Upon receipt they would approve my registration. Duh? I impulsively wrote back, "my folks are in heaven and I am sixty years old.' Unfortunately, I think it is one of those messages that you can't reply to it.
Now, that I am way off the subject the next thing to be done is to complete the PRAM. With luck and perseverance she'll have her christening one week from Wednesday. I am hoping to sell it for about a thousand bucks. All money will be donated to Big Brothers/Big Sisters or the charity of the buyer's choice.
Anyway it is after 10 pm. Casey Anthony is to be arrested on charges of murder tomorrow. I'm sleepy. Good night!

Lions, and tigers, and bears, oh no
Actually, it was Ladies night at West Marine, a chalk talk at Melbourne Yacht Club, big boat racing on Saturday, sunfish sailing on Sunday, anchor tackling on Monday, school reports on Tuesday, bug bites on Wednesday, sailing sunfish again on Thursday, clothes to wash, dry and hang on Friday. Now, it is a new week with floors to sweep, and cars to clean, photos to organize (still), and articles to write. Then, there was my sister's birthday which got forgot, my husband's lunch which I made, not, a walk with a friend, and dishes to wash. I'm tired just thinkin' about all I am not missin.'
