Favorite Sailing Pic's from 2011

[brackish]

Great pics Bob, especially the sunsets.  Whats the story on the trees ref "rugged coastline"  uprooted from normal tidal flow or a storm event?

Of course I'm not going to mention the hanging fenders underway (whoops, just did) cause I figured Greene would be all over that one.

Of course I'm not going to mention the hanging fenders underway (whoops, just did) cause I figured Greene would be all over that one.

Nope not me.

All my hard work to become the "new kind and gentle" Mike must have gone without notice.  It has been months since I picked on anyone except myself.  Maybe I'll try using using warm and fuzzy terms like; sir, sincerely, peachy, gee whiz, nice point my good man...  A reputation is a hard thing to lose.

I am a changed CPYOA'er now.  I went too far a few times and what I thought was funny may have irritated some fine folks. 

Thank you my good man for your peachy and sincere response.  (Gee whiz, that was easy.)

Gee, Cap't Mike:
   I don't remember you offending or irritating me. Of course, some say I'm so dense that I might not have noticed it either.
   The uprooted trees are strewn about on the west side (bay side) of Tice's Shoals, Island Beach State Park, NJ. That's the way it always looks although last winter saw an unusually high amount of ice blown over to that coast by strong N-NW winds that seemed to last forever. I find the uprooted trees pretty interesting.
   Others have commented on my hanging fenders. PeterG, for one. But, I figure, these days, it's all in jest, right?
   Enjoy the remaining days of  2011! And may 2012 be peachy, my good man!

What!! first Bob23 learns how to post pictures ending years of harassment at his expense, and now a "kinder gentler, Greene.  It's going to be a long winter.

Don't worry, gents:
   Me thinks that Mike has to work soooo hard at being nice that he'll be exhausted in no time and back to his sarcastic, curmudgeony old self...the MG we know and love. So, go ahead, Mike: I know you've got a comment or 2 about my fenders...I can take it!!!

You have very nice fenders Bob.

Mike

[Bob23]

I AM SOOO INSULTED!!!! WITH AN ATTITUDE LIKE THAT, YOU PROBABLY GOT NOTHING FOR CHRISTMAS! I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I'VE HEARD!!

[Greene]

Hee, hee, hee!

OK since Mike has gone softy on us,  I'll make fun of not the fenders, but the 1977 style converse tennis shoes, or as they are called in NJ.."sneakers."
 
Didn't know you were a sailor, rower AND skate boarder, Bob.  Aren't you a little old for that, or does cool never go out of style? 

[Bob23]

   I'm living proof: Cool never does go out of style. I recieve a lot of flack from various sources about my Chucks. Got my first pair in 1969 and been wearing them ever since. Not the same pair, mind you. I wear 'em every day and on the jobsite. Hi tops in winter with wool socks = warm feet.
   I'm glad that Salty Mike hasn't gone soft...I knew I could count on you guys! Here's my Christmas collection Converse:

Very cool Bob.  You can wear a green one on the right foot and a red one on the left foot.  You'll never forget which way is port or starboard!

Very funny!

[Salty19]

Bob,  man I knew you were pretty darn cool, but matching Christmas converse that double duty as aids to navigation?   Legendary!!!

OK, I will dig up some cool pics from 2011 to keep this post on track.  Funny how when sailing is most exciting, you don't seem to take many pictures!

[Tim Gardner]

Bob,  Do you swap colors from red on left leaving to red on right returning?
