Entering the Potomac River just south of Point Lookout after a long beat down from Annapolis

and heading south down Lake Michigan towards Chicago - even the kids were at peace /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

My most tranquil moment was at the end of holiday cruise last year. Slipped from Burnham at about 0600 in a light breeze and sailed home up the Crouch in early morning mist and utter silence doing about one knot while SWMBO and daughter slept below. Just me, the egrets and the water chuckling around the stem.

Until some arsehole in a speed boat with a ghetto blaster came belting down the river. What is it with mobos ?

 

[LymingtonPugwash]

Strange that there aren't any MOBO posting tranquil moments! /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Nice thread Lizzie-B,

Some cracking shot's on here!

Isn't it great being out on the water at times like these?

I'd hazard a guess that's because this is a yachting forum! Have had several 'mobo' tranquil moments (and I don't have a getto blaster on board) - early morning prior to first dive off the galapagos islands, leaving Solent motor yachts in the early morning November mist in our new to us boat, sunset on the barrier reef. We are not all noise crazed speed freaks - it's just that sailing isn't for all of us. PS haven't worked out photos yet, so you'll just have to use your imaginations /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

This picture was taken at sunrise in Patitiri, last September after a particularly uncomfortable night rafted to another boat. We got no sleep, spending the whole night running around replacing frayed lines and generally waiting for morning to come!

When it came, what a relief and what a welcome sight!

 

[AlJones]

Whos this?

Remember this great evening Kim?

 

[Emjaytoo]

Indeed, I do, Al,

It was that DS course with ATS & Glen, back in August 2004, that led me to where I am now!

And here you can see the "cat who got the cream"?

Or is it a case of the "dog with two d**ks"?

In any event Mr & Mrs Emjaytoo are very happy !!!

I don't think this is a 'sailing' forum. Probably raggies are in the majority, but there's a fair few mobo's, and many of us who are neutral.
Here's one of my tranquil 'mobo' moments.
