"UP" was such a sad movie at first...not fair for Disney to sneak that in like that totally unexpected! :x
BTW, I saw it in 3D -really good that way! :)




Further thread-creep, just to keep the trend going!

Well, that's simple and I will try to explain. You see, sailors in general are a special breed of people. I believe, full well, that if a genetic survey were to be undertaken that.... OHHH!! LOOK! SQUIRREL!!!!!

What were we talking about ? :D :D :D

Keel_Hauled,

You hit the nail on the head that time :D rotflmao!

20 control points? ................ All I need are three sheets and a breeze :wink:
don't even need to be at the helm sometimes.

Sometimes I even get three sheets in a breeze :wink: (only in open waters and never while alone)

Best Breezes,

The Few Times I have gone out with my brother ( twin 315 HP Yanmars) and had to ainty up at the fuel pump.. $200 for just my share ( 200+ gallons on board) at the very best 2 mpg..most often less.......Makes my boat look pretty darn good..

I filled up both my tanks the other day (3 gallons each) and it cost me as much as I used to pay to fill up the two 12 gallon tanks on my 26X. No........... I'll keep my sailboat, thank you very much :wink:

How much is marina gas these days $5 or$6 ???

I wonder if my buddy, whom I haven't seen in several years, still takes his boat out. It had a 502cid and an eighty gallon tank. They would hit the water @ Havasu @ about 7:30am and have to come in to fill up @ around 10:00 or 11:00am. I couldn't afford the fuel for his boat, back when it was a buck thirty five per gallon.



I'll keep my sails.......... I like the quiet too anyway :wink:
