You are exactly right, I am sitting here at my desk and feeling very stupid right now. Does it make any difference that I have not sailed since Sunday?

I didn't think so either!!

Starboard = Green
Port = Red (to match my face.)

Cthulhu, thanks for catching this, no wonder I hit them with the hand they are not expecting.

Of the Kenpo Nautical Sea Scout Test........

Instructor; Ok my young Kenpo Sea Scout, tell me, what would you do if a storm blew up Port?

Kenpo Sea Scout, "Throw out anchor, sir!"

Instructor, Ok, well, What would you do if a storm blew up Starboard?

Kenpo Sea Scout, "Throw out anchor, sir!"

Instructor, I see and what would you do if a storm blew up Aft?

Kenpo Sea Scout, "Throw out anchor, sir!"

Instructor, Now just a dog-gone minute..... Just where are you getting all these anchors from?

Kenpo Sea Scout, "From the same place you are getting all the storms!" ........ Sir

We can't control the winds... but we do have the abilities to set our sails!

Do boat stores make a lot of sails?

well I could just say 'luff' me anyway, but then you'd 'keel' over and Its not nice to 'leech' attention. So let's 'jibe' and I'll 'tack' a notice to the 'deck'

Oh gee I've really gone and done it now !~

Sailmakers make sails.. Stores just sell em.. *Grins*

A hole in the water you poor money into!!!!

You know how much a "line" costs, as compared to a "rope"? A whole lot if you have to pay Dennis to come up with the next "Line". Maybe it was tied to one of the anchors ... avast matey. Arrrghhh.

-Michael, (just back from teaching classes tonight, so my timing was off for a timely riposte.)
