Polishing My mast

[Lakesailor]

Despite having castigated people for suggesting it a few years ago I did it last week.
It felt good.

 

[V1701]

Baden Powell called it beastliness...

 

[King Penguin]

I thought this phrase was a euphemism for something else!

 

[Searush]

Oh dear, Phil, it seems that you will forever be associated with the the wandering onanist, & everything you post will be mis-interpreted.

 

[Lakesailor]

At least I was doing it in my own garden.
Afterwards a hot young babe walking past said "That's a lovely finish"


OK. I lied.

Is that something akin to "polishing one's torpedo"?

There you go again, how can a tramp "do it in his own garden"? I suppose he might say the mountains, fields & lakes were his garden, so maybe he was, after all.

Did you not have a thread recently where you were objecting to a guy polishing his mast in public?

 

[Baggy]

I find,
to get the most satifying results is to use small strokes at first then finish off with a good hard rub

 

[aquaplane]

You aren't calling the new boat "the good ship Venus" are you?

 

[Lakesailor]

She will be called Mio.

get it? "O Solo Mio"

 

[Seajet]

You could have called it Hans or possibly Millenium Falcon, but I suspect there may be dozens of Solo's already called those.

Here's one for mast polishers everywhere, one needs to listen to the lyrics re. torpedos.

In case anyone doesn't know, the bass player Derek Smalls is Harry Shearer, aka Homer Simpson, Montgomery Burns etc.
