Re: Are you waving or yodeling Claymore ?

As one of the "TCDA's " (all five foot of me), I can say that unless trying to do eight other things at the same time, we are more than happy to give a friendly wave at anyone waving in passing, unless of course the said vessel has only a radio mast rather than one that you can attach sails to, is causing a six foot bow wave and seems to think that the two fingers shown them on passing is meant as a friendly gesture.

Re: Are you waving or yodeling Claymore ?

Now would that be a warm cup of whisky (with out an e) washed up from some where in Cornwall you would be indulging in whilst waving?

My kids wave at anything that floats....
My Wife is usually flapping ( a more energetic wave) when she wants my attention
The waves I receive from the stinky eliment usually come in the form of 6 foot and rock my boat.

Re: waving, Moodys etc

Sorry, have to agree here, sailing a beneteau is exceptionally exciting. On the Orwell there are hundreds of beneteuas screaming along in 15knts of breeze. The moodys appear to need a gale to make them move. Very slow. Perhaps they don't wave because they've fallen asleep?

Re: waving, Moodys etc

This is true. A man came up to me in the street today on the cadge. I gave him a shiny pound, he walked a few paces away then returned and told me it was 'Moody.' Did I have another?

Waving, shmaving . .

Huh - that's just soh passay.

Try some of this 2003 New Wave stuff . .

1. Gesticulating in reverse, shake head slowly and look very very glum.
2. Smile broadly, but give them a vigorous thumbs down.
3. Dash below, fetch a fire extinguisher and brandish.
4. Call them up on the VHF and ask for an autograph.
5. Point to the top of their mast, then at a position some distance behind them.
6. Release your pet bird of prey, trained to fly over and steal their winch handle.

. . so gay! . . so moderne!
