Captain's Log
The blog formerly
known as Notes from the Poopdeck -A periodic, sometimes monthly, account of the
sailing adventures (and mundane lives) of the Webcaptain and Ladysailor.
2012
is Here, Bring on the End of Daze. 1/4/12 log
So it would appear that this log has now become a bi-yearly offering.
It must be because either life is too dull to report, or I've become too lazy to
report about it, not sure right now.
The time since the end of July when your webcapt last laid fingers to
keyboard in this space has been pretty mundane. Sailing lessons went
almost into October as it turned out, several guys called who had bought boats
and needed some coaching on sailing them. When the weather became too
crummy to continue sailing, the workshop came to life all November, and lots of
product was made for our trip to Cal in December. Grinner took
the first-place honors for the Fall Series once again, and hopefully this year
the schedule will be modified so that might actually mean something.
So December 1 came along, and Ladysailor and I hit the road for SoCal, where
a legal wrangle was awaiting us, trying to collect a bunch of $ we improperly
were charged a few years ago. Luck was with us, we prevailed, and had the
extra bonus of being in SoCal to spend the Christmas holiday with Ladysailor's
family for the first time in several years. It was also nice to see my
peeps who still live down that way as well. We made it home safe a few
days before New Years, and had the pleasure of catching the last performance of
the DeSoto band at the Embarcadero New Years Eve.
Grinner wished she could have made the Frostbite sail New Years Day,
but she's sitting in the driveway awaiting repairs before she gets to sail
anywhere! The weather was perfect, if a bit chilly, by the way.
This year your webcapt is Commodore of Vice at YBYC, so it will be another
busy one at the club, as well as Ladysailor being the House Queen once again.
Still waiting for the USCG to decide if I am going to regain my Captain's
Licence. Seems as soon as I provide one expensive set of requirements they
want two more, so discouragement is beginning to set in. Stay tuned for
further developments.
Hope you have a great New Year and the end of Daze is fun for all!
Best,
Webcapt Mike

 A
pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you
a tough person. Like the rock flint, you're hard and sharp. But, also like flint, you're
easily chipped, and sparky. Arr!
