Hunson and the other half (arm on tiller) on our first maiden voyage with our new boat just having taken ownership. Omi (guy relaxed on the guardwire) is the one responsible for having taken us sailing and for me catching the sailing itch.

Be fair I didn't post one with me in it although if anyone gets snotty, I do it to frighten them.
Actually have you noticed how much nicer all these East Coast pictures are than the South Coast ones in another Forum. The sun is shining and the boats all look good. I know I am biased being the caretaker of a MAB but isn't that Cat in this month YM, the most enormously ugly thing you've ever seen. Couldn't it be taxed by Gordon on the basis of its environmental impact. The Helmsman sits on a seat up in the air like a lifeguard in a lido; its got Velux loft windows on the inside of the hull and the Bridgedeck looks like a poof's penthouse. Now I'm a reasonable man and realise that not everybody can be allowed the priviedge of a MAB but Hells Bells and Buckets of Blood, its ugly. Fortunately from the evidence on this post, it is clear that no East Coast person here is insane enough to buy one of that brand of Cat.
Gosh I feel better. Nothing like a good Curry (even if the guy on the next table is already a multi millionaire and today went to receive just under a million from Camelot - seriously - that's just happened) and a good rant.
