The "Real" Mystic Pictures

[Concordia...41]

First, the "spare" "spare bedroom" at Chez Noyes:

Many thanks to the proprietors of Chez Noyes for the hospitality Thursday night. :)

Second, a wonderful and informative (actually beyond wonderful and informative) caulking seminar.

Note - Allan aka S/V Laura Ellen's trademark crutches in the right side of the photo. ;)

Then it was fun and games :D with a cake from Scot and Carl as a surprise for David and Claudia...

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid225/p02e437e3d42bebcda34023ba0bc30e1b/e8abf48b.jpg

The funniest part of all was that someone thought Carl was Dutch. :D :D

Claudia, David Gage (in front of Claudia), Speedboy and Bruce Hook as we hailed Speedboy and David Gage got to go for a ride.

Look at that smile!

Now while the rest of you were sashaying up and down the docks taking pretty pictures of the pretty boats :p , I was on my hands and knees checking out some important details...

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid225/p95f6a129f5edacd55c79a5cab07fa8df/e8abeda3.jpg

Guess I should have warned you before that shot... sorry...

There are more pictures of the AirHead in the album (link at the end of post), but I cannot tell you how impressed I was. I will absolutely and positively have one on Sarah AND may God forgive me, I'm going to vent it through the existing Charlie Nobel.

I also got lots of pictures of the interiors of Arapaho and Enveloee. You cannot imagine how frustrating it's been trying to reassemble Sarah's interior. Anyone disassembling an interior take note - you do not need hundreds of pictures of the companionway and bulkheads and tops of things. You need pictures of the bottoms of things and the insides of things!

To-wit: Arapaho's starboard forward floor and cabinet base

Seriously folks, these are the kind of pictures you're going to want when you start to put things back together!

So back at Lefty's Saturday night, I walk through on my way to the cooler for another adult beverage and what do I spy???!!!

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid225/p0f73e1c489c0e4bb9e0802ad0901d0ba/e8ab93b4.jpg

Thanks Phil! I beat David Gage and a couple of others back and made off with the folding rule.

By 10 or so, we had folks liquored up enough to open the WBF tattoo studio... :D

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid225/p361eb01b540b76a44d7ad4b83a93944b/e8ab9207.jpg

Now in a true test of Forum knowledge, name the Forumite and appendage that belong to these tattoos!!!!!

[Nanoose]

Here's a guess...
Sue, Claudia, Margo, Tabitha, Rev (arm) , Lefty, Joe

How'd I do??

[skuthorp]

AH!! A footograph!!

(Is that GW in the grey crocks?)

[Russ Manheimer]

Julia on the left, Joe on the right and some poorly formed foot in the middle. Thanks Margo,

We also ran the Japanese characters on the ankle tattoos through Google and determined it said "I went to the WoodenBoat Show in Mystic and all I got was this lousy tattoo."

Kidding. What a night, what a show; thanks all.

Russ

[S/V Laura Ellen]

Note - Allan aka S/V Laura Ellen's trademark crutches in the right side of the photo. ;)

Gawd! I hope I have made more of an impression than to be known for my crutches. Did I tell you how much I hate those things.

[Concordia...41]

Nanoose has 5 of 7

Actually you're quite warm on 6 of 7 ;)

Russ - see the thread in the bilge :)

You may want to check with the mfr. about venting it that way.
Potential sparks?

I had an elaborate work-around planned, but ultimately decided leave the cabin heater out. Whatever she had originally was removed and a Tiny Tot stove was put in its place. The stove is cracked and has seen better days, but I'll keep it and the original W/C head if I ever change my mind.

[The Bigfella]

I reckon Joe would have one of the shaved legs - being a bike rider and all!

[Mrleft8]

"You cannot imagine how frustrating it's been trying to reassemble Sarah's interior."
Wanna bet?! ;) It sure makes a lot of the mystery pieces a little less mysterious to see them in place, doesn't it? And to think I spent half of one whole day sorting through shoe boxes of pictures of pretty parts spread out on a concrete floor looking for pictures JUST LIKE THE ONES YOU JUST POSTED!!! :D

[Carl Cramer]

Thought I was Dutch? That's a nice compliment; truly. It was great seeing y'all at the WoodenBoat Show. We'll be back again next year, same time, same place. Book your hotels/rooms now.

[Russ Manheimer]

Doug,

See Carl's post above. Hint, hint.

Russ

[Michael s/v Sannyasin]

I have video "proof" that Lefty is the real "Dutch"

[Nanoose]

cough it up, Mike!

[Mrleft8]

Same time, same place? Wait a minute...... I'm getting a vision..... I see Lawn Tractor Polo and a Wooden Boat EBS at the same time and place.... It's going to be very painful.... Talk about disparate worlds colliding! :D

[davidagage]

I have been placed under severe scrutiny. I am not allowed to post any pictures that were taken during any festivites for fear of shortening of lifespan (mine in particular)....I will post just this one though. For some unknown reason I am not sure what Joe was refering to...

http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid225/p7cfeb35d53731c7b92106e869b7e149c/e8ae7ab8.jpg

But everybody sure seemed interested...:D :eek: :D

Joe was explaining how big he thinks his ego is.:D

Since someone has to do it, and Margo did it this year, I will step up and invite everyone to an EBS at Lefty's place (same bat place, same bat time, same bat channel).:D

[S/V Laura Ellen]

... We'll be back again next year, same time, same place. Book your hotels/rooms now.

Carl:

Great show this year, I'm looking forward to next year.

Would that be June 27th - 29th?

[Ian McColgin]

The AirHead really is an attention getter. At our fireworks raft-up I must have given a dozen tours of the thing.

[Michael s/v Sannyasin]

cough it up, Mike!

I'm working on it, give me a couple more days!

[Joe ( Cold Spring on Hudson )]

Joe was explaining how big he thinks his ego is.:D

No its never been truly measured it's size is mythical ;)

[Paul Girouard]

No its never been truly measured it's size is mythical ;)


So true :D Vast as the cosmos :D

[Michael s/v Sannyasin]

Alright folks, meet some of your fellow forumites!

[Jim Ledger]

Didja see the way Julia looks at Russ Mannheimer when they're singing. Just like Cher used to look at Sonny.;)


I Got You, Babe:D

Mickey Lake

[Katherine]

Great Video, thanks Mike!:)

[John B]

Thanks Michael, nice to see , you have an audience 9k miles away:D

You guys know y'all speak funny now don't you.:D :D
( blocks wifes ears when the southern smooth devils come on.....)

[Vince Brennan]

...next year, same time, same place. Book your hotels/rooms now.

HAH! First thing I did when I head... now, let's hope my Kid don't get fired between now and then...

[PaulC]

Thanks Mike, it was great to "meet" so many people!

[Concordia...41]

I just got in and got to watch it. Great job Mike!

- M

[Russ Manheimer]

Thanks Mike,

Sonny and Cher

[Joe ( Cold Spring on Hudson )]

Awesome !!!! :D :D :D

[Nanoose]

Very nice, Mike, especially for us that couldn't get there. Wonderful to put faces and voices to monikers. Thanks, everyone! :) :D

[John B]

Russ, just remember that if you see skis and fir trees in the same panorama, its time to be very careful.

[seayou7]

Bravo! Well done. Hope to join you folks someday. Stuck ashore in Ga. clay while my boat is laid up afloat, in the hands of a trusted shipwright. Would have loved to be in attendance WBS & EBS.

[Virgin Gal]

Mike, well done, many thanks for sharing...

It's nice to know I now have a year to prepare for next years event...

and yes...once again, I found out about it via WBF!:)

[Concordia...41]

Oops... :o

[Katherine]

Maybe instead of overwhelming Doug and Carter, :D, we should try and reserves space at a park or the seaport for a forum get together.

[Hughman]

Maybe instead of overwhelming Doug and Carter, :D, we should try and reserves space at a park or the seaport for a forum get together.

We'll commission the Conrad and take it to sea....

[Concordia...41]

I vote for overwhelming Doug and Carter (sorry :p - it was Allan's idea...).

If we do our thing in public, the odds that someone will go to jail increase dramatically... :eek:

[Paul Pless]

Huh? lefty and ms virgin ain't get ridding of us that easy... we're like a recurring um... rash... yeah... next year same bat place, same bat time.:p

[Katherine]

Lefty, V.G., I tried, sorry.

[Concordia...41]

We can just all head that way, Saturday, June 28, 2008 ;).

I mean what are they going to do...move further into the woods???????? :p

[Mrleft8]

I'll leave the door open, and the checkbook on the counter.....I have a funny feeling I have a out of town appointment that weekend.....;)

[S/V Laura Ellen]

If you read between the lines of Carl's press release, the WBS and Mystic Seaport may beome a permanent arrangement. That would mean that the EBS at Chez Lefty's could become an annual event.

Let me be the first to throw my full support behind this idea.

Why don't we also let you throw your considerable bank account, and free time to get things ready into the mix Mr. Limpsalot! ;)

[Paul Pless]

Mr. Limpsalot! ;)At least he got the 'Mister' part right:p:p:p:plaura

[Mrleft8]

You want a piece of this cranky mood too Mr. "I didn't want to get my toes wet, so I told the gardener to go out and dig up the Palmetto"? ;) :p

[Russ Manheimer]

Doug,

Just freeze the left-over salad for next year.

Rus

[Virgin Gal]

Ok just so I am clear..all the imaginary people are going to be at my house for the next couple of years for a weekend?

Just want to make sure I have the imaginary cleaners, cooks, etc...so that we are all well taken care of...

Truely...I love the idea that all of you feel so at home here...you know you can stop in any time...

I have put in the calander already....Overnight accomodations are first request, first reserved...

I will provide pics over the weekend so you have a true idea of what your accomodations will be....

[Russ Manheimer]

Carter,

As they say, it's location, location, location. And may I add we all are in awe of your location. A great spot for a mid-Summers nights dream. Thanks for sharing. We'll try to bring less imaginary salad next year.

Russ

[Concordia...41]

Well after hearing that Bruce Hooke slept on the work bench, I'm pretty thrilled at the impromptu spare bedroom which I was shown to after my USlessAIRWAYS flight from hell... :)

Wait a minute, I thought it was every two weeks. No one tells me anything.

[Phil Heffernan]

Mike, what a fabulous movie. So great to have recorded all those people for the rest of the WBF to meet. Good on ya, man, and Walker loved his cameo!
I think next year may turn out to be huge group of people, after seeing the fun to be had and with a year to plan ahead...

Plus our boy Jamie will have had his shakedown cruises, so look for SV Airlie, and I think we'll bring up Dove...
WBS 2008..Be There or Be Square...

[Vince Brennan]

'Nother bump in anticipation

[Vince Brennan]

Sorry, folks... I didn't look at the thread first.... didn't realize the pics had been stored (probably) on Imagestation. Shame, 'cos there were some nice ones.

[Concordia...41]

Yeah. I was bummed too. I moved the albums over to Shutterfly, and if I had all the time in the world, I'd fix the links.

However...

Plus, I couldn't get the last batch to link from Shutterfly. :(

[S/V Laura Ellen]

A bit a trivia.

- The first picture from the 2007 WBS posted on the forum was of Margo on a Concordia. The picture was taken and posted by AED. -
