Well there froggy, Mr Sinker didn’t help in any way with my write up. It is a true and accurate record of what took place at the canal and no assistance from Mr AI who ever he may be.
This morning’s sail on the Lauderdale Canal was one to remember — a blend of calm waters, comic misadventures, and good-natured rivalry. The day began with perfect sailing conditions: a light breeze rippling across the canal and the sun glinting off the water, promising an easy, pleasant outing. Spirits were high as Kermit set out confidently at the helm, determined to show off his newly honed sailing skills. Unfortunately, confidence isn’t always a substitute for caution, and before long, Kermit managed to run himself aground on one of the canal’s shallower bends.
The moment was met with laughter from the crew and a fair bit of teasing from GG, who had warned Kermit to “keep an eye on that depth gauge.” With Kermit’s boat gently perched on the sandbank, GG took it upon himself to provide an impromptu sailing lesson. It was part rescue mission, part tutorial, and entirely entertaining for those watching from shore. Under GG’s patient instruction (and occasional eye-roll), Kermit eventually refloated the boat — a little wiser, a little muddier, but still in good spirits.
Just as the laughter settled, the morning took a more distinguished turn with a visit from the ever-respectable Mr. Sinker. Arriving in his usual quiet and composed fashion, he brought an air of calm authority to the scene — a stark contrast to the earlier chaos. Mr. Sinker admired the day’s sailing efforts, shared a few pointers of his own, and was, as always, generous with his encouragement.
Later in the clubhouse, the weekly video awards were announced, adding a touch of friendly competition to the day’s events. This week’s Video of the Week went to Mr. Sinker, whose crisp footage, excellent editing, and smooth narration set a new benchmark for quality. His video perfectly captured the beauty of the canal and the camaraderie among the sailors, earning well-deserved applause from everyone present.
Kermit, meanwhile, took the Runner-Up spot. While his video showed promise, his well-known tendency to be a sore loser surfaced once more — though mostly in good humour. To keep the peace (and the fun) alive, the committee decided that Kermit would instead receive the Picture of the Week award, recognising his knack for capturing that perfect shot, even if his sailing skills still need some fine-tuning. All in all, it was another unforgettable morning at Lauderdale — laughter, lessons, and a little light-hearted rivalry on the water.
Sorry Mr Sinker, yes you do get the picture of the week award, still getting over my reunion with my yacht.
Well as I said I’m in debt too the frog so without and other bullshi# this week’s winner is Kermit followed closely by the Sinker
A big thank you goes to Kermit for hooking my boat at the Duck.
Yes I have been a bit slack today about judging, Ive been waiting to see if the frog was going to submit a video or not, but I guess it was too cold and windy for him to come out from his pond.
So this weeks video trophy goes to the Sinker and his camera person,and the picture of the week goes to the Sinker as well. WELL DONE there Sir.
Sorry there, with it being white like the rest of the plane I thought it was LWPLA.
We just need a calm day to fly all these Zeros.
Good job Mike. The only thing the elevator arm should be made of pla. If you check the text in the stl file it will tell you.
Oh no that green boat sinking again and the frog in the water, sorry not pulling you out this time froggy.
Just say’n
Kermit you are right about life being interesting. That’s what’s our hobbies are all about, 80% of the time repairing and 20% flying planes or sailing.
Now as there is only one video this week, I guess this week’s winner is you Mr frog.
Just say’n
A special note to the Sinker for his show and tell session today. Well done
Well I guess this week’s winner is Mr Frog for his efforts of braving the strong winds at the canal today, and a notable mention to the Sinker for his photos editing of the frog on the jetty, the only thing is the jetty is missing the do not swim sign, a small oversight there but well done there.
Just say’n
Well, who’s it going to be Sinker or Froggy, but I think it will be Mr Sinker for 2 reasons
1. His video was longer.
2. Mr Frog tried to bribe the judge this week with cash, actual amount was quite substantial.
So well done Sinker
Just say’n
I guess it’s that time of the week again to decide who wins and who walks away with a sad look……..
After careful consideration and death threats from certain people I have decided to award equal points to both the Sinker and the Tadpole (almost a frog), so congrats to you both, you are both winners.
Just say’n
