    Today the admiral was hoisted to further heights as he tried to conqueror the heights of the fountain it was a wasted effort as predator has the height issue wrapped up  and what a turn out hundreds of skippers came out to play   the start line was by  boat number in order from 1 to 100 it was slow but it worked the resident ducks walked the shoreline no room on the water  there were so many tussells that the mud banks were a mass of sails like turtles flapping there flippers to get off johns black boat refused to move so a proder was required  so many story’s pinki had a sail winch problem  easy fixed an back into it ya cant take it away from UNCLE G  as my former student he has surpassed his master by a long shot  that brings me to my day  alas the duck hunter was disabled quite early in the day with a winch line that wrapped around its base and ripped the pulley from its base causing a hole  then on a masterfully skilled sailing effort I started to return to shore  but she started to fill as she neared the jetty water was up to her gunnels  as he slipped into my outstretched fingers she started to be a submarine not only is she a duck hunter on top but now she wants em under water  after letting out the water a crack was found at the keel acting like a scoop  ( now fixed ) as I always take advice from the ones that know  my servos and winch still work because of predators advice  pack your electrics in Vaseline  saved a few bob on that one  if I hadn’t had that problem I would had whipped the lot of em for sure A  lot of great sailors playing today great to see sorry about my story but I considered it far more worthy of reporting  such a fine effort  of boat retrieval by a master mariner     regards kermit la frog

    OHHHHH   PRED  IF I HAD A CONSCIOUS I MIGHT  FEEL PUT OUT BY YOUR LAST STATEMENT  (GRAIN OF SALT ) CAPS AGAIN BUGGAR   but seeing i havn’t got one  were cool   tugboat dear boy perhaps I did slightly miss lead you with ages of the motly crew  well maybe quite a lot actually  there not old at all perhaps in there mid 30s  there abouts …… your nickname was a disappointment for my theory behind names  but still applicable to some ……like one of our mob is moooose  he’s built like a moose  big body skinny legs  an often roars  but if you pat him he calms down   predator don’t know how he got that one  totally not right should have been called pussy cat most of the time he’s just moochin aground help’n out the boy is quite a electronics whizzzz kid   so maybe he should be called “big bang ” then there’s UNCLE G  another big fella he had a camera surgically implanted into his forehead so he doesn’t miss a thing that’s why you see great video from him  heaps more names but I don’t wish to bore you  so  i’ll leave it there   YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY     regards kermit la frog    ps  kidding again about predators age its 97  I figured he cant read this far so he wont know I told you

    In reply to your statement UNCLE G that  I quote ” poor showing up at the other end ”  if you had returned later on …..you would have had in total 30 sailing vessels on the water in full flight  I failed to mention these boats because the skippers didn’t come to the BBQ after sailing  so they didn’t count    your speed camera boat was probably out of battery power by then ay such a shame    all colours of sails  …….would have made your effort of filming real sailing worth while but still  your effort today was still fair due to such a small number of  putt putt craft you had to film  I guess  please return next week for more value video from the other end      ( soft )   Regards  Kermit la frog    on behalf of real sailors

    Tugboat cobber to set you strait on the “shoot up” we had moved from our flying field to lauderdale canal for our usual BBQ now there is a pecking order in our group an its an age thing  predator being the eldest  ( 81 )starts the BBQ bad angel is second  (79) so on an so on ….any one under 75 is a newbee   (that’s me at 71  )  I’m the only one…….  any transgressions by a newbee is quickly stomped on by the elders  my fault was I used bad angels sauce on my hamburger with out asking………. as in the pecking order  you don’t just go and sit with them you wait until invited   so whilst waiting I wandered onto the grass  and as you saw the rest is history  and you asked why no one came to my assistance , a lot of cars going past slowed down but I think they were intimidated by the rough necks at the BBQ to stop…… unless predator raises his finger no one moves to render assistance (such is the power of our leader )  Im not one to tell ferfies  trust me this is the truth ……. getting back to you   TUGBOAT  this name conjures up a vision of a portly fella  true? just curious   Nick names reflect a person   like” bad angel”   predator ..me ..UNCLE G so tugboat  that can be a start to your first post……   look through our site and enjoy our fun   Regards…. kermit la frog

    THINK nothing of it dear boy  always ready to help out another brilliant sailor

    now you all know when i do a write up its truthful  and unbiased   as it is today   if my boat was going fair dinkem she would have whipped the lot of yas  but unfortunately she had too many issues  so was retired for the day  but this gave me the opportunity to observe  the motley crew crashing bumping and other devious actions  unobserved by the rest deep into their own thing  all I can say is thank the gods we don’t have official observers  this gentle men is true sailing  you want to win  then go for it  rules are good at times but in the heat of very good competition  going for it is far more fun  as was shown in UNCLE G and Long Tall’s  tussles …. it was a bit of a disappointment that no one wanted to park on the fountain  but this PHIL fella is  one to watch the fountain will get him soon enough…. Justin and Paul were fun to watch-with their toy boats… to bad about today’s sailing with Ricky”s Mountagay boat he was always there but when he came behind a few ……they just took off leaving the mountagay boat wondering “why”  Stuart was fantastic  as the pro brilliant work to be fair to the other pros Stuart  had a easy job  he could have just put down on the score sheet  UNCLE G    UNCLE G   UNCLE G   hard to beleave I taught (UNCLE G )everything about sailing isn’t it An we did miss Pete and Predator…….I watched Don he’s a sly one  he just slips past and no one notices until the race to the finish  an then he’s just  there   “how ”  sorry if I missed someone   so that’s it  damn good day

    NICE WORK deconstructing the superbly named  Badger II for the necessary work……  Reminders me of my missus after 100 odd years things do fail  flatten out,warp, sag. expand etc  but she can still be sailed  by a master mariner who knows how to sail an old vessel but with the ol thing the cost of repair is prohibitive soooo like badger a bit of glue  plaster an paint she will sail for a few more years    ( SORRY I CANT SUPPLY PICTURES )

    Today I was intimidated  by a boootiful woman ( sue ) not by her damn good looks but by her voice   I was afraid  I was very afraid   her poor hubby was late in putting his boat in the pond  when boooming across the water came   “PUT THE BOAT IN THE WATER ”  I NEAR WET MYSELF   I can handle blokes  an kids but this one   I’m movin way down the bank  if she comes again  ……………..narh just jokin  I’ll be on the other side   Good to see ol pinkie back and in form (buggar him )  twas nice for awhile to have someone to sail with today me ol mate john  he was having a bad day….. ……well he would if he was sailing along with me ay   long tall put on new sails that on the day failed  so an auction is going to take place but I recon it was just the day so I think  longtall should give them a chance and sail them for at least 6 months straight as for Ricky and his gay boat  ( mountagay) wait for predator cobber  your number is up preds boat now has a real name nothing gay about his boat  wasn’t uncle g a quite lad today  strategist dedicated  driven for the win  but still can be beaten   (soon as I get new sails )   very unusual for Grahame to be back in the field  musta been the weed   all in all not a bad day
