randall

charlie.....seeing you try to sleep on the bridge was maybe witnessing the most uncomfortable boat berth ever...(charlie big-bridge small).....however waking up at two in the morning and seeing mike asleep on the aluminum cabin floor with the 110 cockpit light extension cord under em was givin you a...

randall

this is why i like surfing so much........no rules, no moving parts, and only the other guys out can detemine what you catch

randall

timmy....you should have come for the panga ride over to (cant spell it but sounds like ) ha-key with me and achilles.....10+ and we drifted just outside the impact zone for 2 hours.....not ashamed i didnt get out of the boat....that was intense enough

randall

why do they care about power?

randall

randall

walter.....we were in a hurry to get to a spot where we could catch the race action so i couldn't investigate but this boat didnt look like it had been wet to recently

randall

has nothing to do with weather the system works or not.....has to do with the very high standard of how we treat each other on this site......which sets us apart from most other sites (except timmy of course)

randall

randall

bruce.....most of the artists, surfers, and musicians i know go to the same church as you...............even had a prayer meeting in the front of a pick up last saturday night between sets

randall

randall

UV i am honestly curious.....whats not to like about sail boats?.....blubliners and other clorox bottle boats ok....jet skiis...i see a point ....but let me tell you ..you at the wheel of a 50 foot yawl in a stiff breeze with a lot of sail up and all that force of nature is at your finger tips.........

randall

looks great!!!.....nice trailer too

randall

i really like sailboats...spent many happy days on em...good way to travel long distances and always be home specially if you have almost no money (and of course its someone elses boat)

randall

i still wana use the lathe

randall

bruce....never been down?........it's amazing how much the road resembles 40 grit sand paper when you slidin across it at 50-60 miles an hour....and i still hung in for six years after that....than ,like timmy, the light bulb came on...went surfing and skiing for ten years to get it out of my system...

randall

unless it is severly blistered or compromised in some way i would just power wash it and roll on some paint....one season wont make a big dif if you planning on a major deal in the fall

randall
