Hey.. where are we? ;-)

Hey.. where are we? ;-)

As youve probably already figured out, I'm not there. I got a horrible cold and sinus infection this week (and as a result my wife said "No sailing") so the Maltzahn will be traveling back to Hamburg...

Hi martin,

Dumb me. I think I saw you Saturday. Someone asked if "Mark" was on board and I answered "no". It didn't click until later that I figured it was you looking for me. My name isn't Mark...

BV2 is the Vegesack.

I'll be sure and tell him you said that. ;)

Hope to see you somewhere along the way.

Last call. Anyone here going to be at Brest / Douarnenez this year? I'm leaving on Saturday (yes martin, we found a skipper) and we will be sailing from Hamburg to England. First probably Dover and...

Steven, I crew aboard the "Präsident Freiherr von Maltzahn" a ketch rigged fishing boat built in 1928.

Martin, thanks for the call. Hope to see more pictures!

Which Classic Boat issue was it? I missed the article. We were there last year but missed this year. Seems like they had all sorts of "excitement" there this year with strong winds, gusts, broken...

If you are finished picking up broken spars, snapped jib booms, torn sails and raising sunken boats from the bottom of the Flensburg Förde after last weekends fun, give me a call.

I tried to send...

You'll all think I'm crazy but I swear I saw this yacht today leaving Hamburg's harbor.

I have the 2 disk set. The second disk is full of behind the scenes stuff; stuff about the screen adaptation of the book, interviews with actors, different camera angles, special effects, you name...

Apparatus at the bottom looks like a two pronged 24v socket. I agree with ahp in that it looks like the knob is a type of dimmer switch.

Black Varnish is available under the brand name "Inertol". What do you want to use it for?

Other than using it for a rigging blacking addative I personally know of very few good applications. Its...

I must have missed that one.

Take a pig and a knife.

...than drinking beer and listening to Johnny Horton records.

My wife disagrees.

If its my team, I'm to the point where I'm happy if any of the friggin receivers catch the ball.

That's great Chad! What school does she go to?

I wrestled for Baylor in the early 80s in Chattanooga. Did you wrestle then?

Thats sort of like stuffing your dead grand-dad, putting him in a butlers uniform and propping him in the corner with a drink tray in his hand.

I'm a Tonk-Nut. We use a lot of Le Tonkinois. There are several different varieties, the regular Le Tonkinois, another called Marine No 1 which has higher UV protection, Huile Bio Impression which is...

I enjoyed reading Thurbers retold fairly tales and fables. Very funny stuff.

Wasn't there a film that featured James Thurber animation in it mixed with real film? I seem to recall a Thurber drawn...

Gerry you'll just end up with a bunch of runaway teenage otters carrying paper bags hanging around the cockpit looking for some "napth time" as the young otters call it.

Um... I say be nice to him and give him some more fish. :D

A set up line like "irish hookers" and we only get one joke reply? No clever names like Trixie O'Toole? C'mon guys, thats pretty sad. ;)

Are you sure that's not "Marlin", the original jungle smell of Marlin Perkins?

Ian, better than that why not a perfume? I was treating our dinghy on Friday with a mixture of linseed oil and stockholm tar and every guy that walked by said, "Wow, that smells great!"

It got so...

I read this not too long ago and thought I'd pass it on.

Thanks Garrett. We actually have a TV crew thats supposed to film some of the work we'll be doing in the next few weeks but knowing TV guys they'll edit it down to 5 minutes and have a shot of me...

Thanks for the reply Andrew. My father was in Algeria off and on during 1957-58 so he got to see some of the "happenings" there.

I really have no clue. I know paint is expensive but we have never been able to either afford International or found anyone that would donate us the good stuff. We usually get second hand stuff from...

Sorry, no pics now but for those interested we stepped the main mast last Saturday. The houndscheeks were replaced and riveted back in place, the gaff-crane was replaced, some welding done, mast...

Andrew just a few points and questions.

First of all its interesting to discuss China with someone who has been there and has experienced it. How much time did you get out of the major cities? I...

Meerkat, you may not realize it but we are agreeing.

Beachcomber, to me it really doen't make any difference. I don't consider myself democrat or republican. I think both parties have their merits and drawbacks. In short, I'm not looking for a partisan...

Socialist or Communist, China traditionally intimidates the democratic state of Taiwan before each election and this time France joins in on the fun. I personally find it sad and shocking that a...

Venchka, did you get your money back? ;)

I seem to remember that the earlier version of the "Razorback" P-47 version had a nasty habit of getting into powerdives. That may be one reason behind the change.

The original P-51 was equipped...
