why does your mind go blank when you are about to moor the boat

 

[sfh]

sorry about spelling, i've had a drink

 

[aztec]

ha! so have i ...and my mind's blank most of the time.... just ask the others.....

the most important part of mooring is knowing that your boat will not drift away.... you can tie the best knot in the world.... lock it over with another corker of a knot... nail it to the quayside.... cover it in tar.... even use epoxy.... but there will always be that little space in the back of your mind that wonders if you actually attatched it to the boat!

nite niite. steve.

Incidentally did any of you dudes know that MikeT was on the team that won the national boat handling championship a year or two back... Sorry Mike, I know you would rather hide your light under a fender but what's the point in being good at something if no one else knows.

Thats as good an excuse as any I suppose

 

[miket]

(Much blushing)....

I was only one of the crew not the driver......

Come to think of it the driver's mind was probably blank. Don't think he'd be any good if he thought about it !!

Incidentally ChrisP had a pretty good run in the same competition.

 

[ChrisP]

Thanks Mike. The best bit of running I did, was away. Never had a problem with the balnk mind, always had the wife there to tell me how to do it.

Chris

What do you mean the sea gull in front's walking !!!

Come to think of it the driver's mind was probably blank.

I take it the blushing is due to the tasteful yellow polo shirts we all had to wear!

This blank mind thing must be a male fad, coz ive never had it, and on the subject of the competition, Dad admit it you couldnt do it without me and mum. It is a well known fact that 'some' skippers make crap crew. I remember the time that i first competed as skipper, it was so easy all i had to do was park the boat or move her the way i wanted her to go - no deciding which rope was best, throwing the rope and not missing in front of all those people, having to deal with the skipper shouting at you.

I miss all that in fact. Byron a mission for you - get my mum and dad out of retirement and get them to compete at the ATYC in August! Please!
