        Just remember if we hadn’t turned up your yacht would have been on Ron’s Reef.

        How about thanking Scotty for taking the controls out of your hands and masterly steering it back to safety for you………………………………………Just sayn

      GG

        Sailing at the canal always promises a story, and this week’s outing at the Lauderdale canal jetty did not disappoint. Kermit arrived early, keen to make the most of the conditions, only to be confronted by the now-infamous wheelchair mob already occupying prime launching territory. Clustered together at the jetty like a defensive barricade, they eyed the arriving sailors with suspicion. After a brief but tense exchange, Kermit made it clear the jetty was not theirs alone. A few well-chosen words and a thinly veiled threat of organized resistance were enough to persuade them to roll on and relocate, much to their obvious annoyance.

        Reinforcements soon arrived in the form of GG, whose presence added weight to the claim on the water. With the jetty secured, preparations continued and sailing finally commenced. The air was cool and sharp, biting at fingers and ears, but a steady, reliable breeze flowed down the canal, setting up ideal sailing conditions. Boats slipped smoothly onto the water, cutting clean lines as they tacked back and forth, sails full and obedient.

        Peace, however, was never going to last. A short while later, two of the wheelchair mob’s henchmen returned, advancing with theatrical menace while waving their transmitters from the safety of their chairs. They loitered at the edge of the action, heckling and posturing, clearly hoping to disrupt proceedings. Their efforts escalated when one of them attempted to push Kermit toward the water’s edge in a clumsy act of retaliation.

        That proved to be a mistake. The group reacted swiftly, pushing back both figuratively and literally. Faced with unified resistance and a complete lack of success, the henchmen beat a hasty retreat, rolling away in defeat and leaving the canal to the sailors once more.

        As the afternoon wore on, the cold air began to win the battle. Fingers stiffened, concentration waned, and common sense prevailed. One by one, boats were recovered and the group retired to the shore, where warmth, laughter, and storytelling took over. Tales of the week were exchanged, victories exaggerated, mishaps improved upon, and plans made for future sessions.

        With this week’s video competition attracting only a single entry, the result is beyond dispute. Congratulations go to the frog himself—Mr Kermit—who claims victory by default, if not by undeniable style.
        Just say’n
