Gimme mountains.
*Tim, to get to that beach, anchor in Baker's Bay, dinghy over to Guana Cay, and walk around the northern end------beautiful. *There are many more. *Here are the grandkids on Man-O-War.timjet wrote:
Don, I'll see you there in May. Can't wait too.
*Understood, Elwin. *Maybe Tim and I will keep our beaches just for Southern Boys and Girls. *Here is a picture of the water at the Great Sale Cay anchorage. *It is about 100 miles from Florida and 50 miles from any populated island.Ocean Breeze NL wrote:
Ya not so fond of the beach either.. got kinda disappointed from the last lot of beach babes.*
The Northerners - we like the snow almost as much as the water..

Our Southern Gals have been struggling to subsist on a diet of spiney lobster, conch, grouper and umbrella drnks. *They deserve better than that, but food is scarce down here. *Short growing season, you know.

Oh, I threw all that out*decades ago when I finally managed to escape that climatic wateland sometimes referred to as "Hawaii."* While I enjoy the occasional sunny day here in the PNW they serve mostly to remind me of how boring sunny days are and to appreciate our more typical weather.* I'll take rain, snow, sleet,*cold and overcast any day over sun and heat.* The only thing I don't care for is wind, at least when we're wanting to go boating or flying.* Otherwise wind is good, too.Moonstruck wrote:
You can put your sun screen away.
Our boat spent its whole life in San Francisco Bay until we bought it and brought it north. It is so happy to be in non-boring waters now that it refuses to go south of Anacortes for fear we might be taking it*back to California.* So if we venture south of the channel into Cap Sante marina*both engines stop and won't restart until we get the bow swung around into the north half of the compas card.* So I doubt we'll ever*see you in La Conner.nomadwilly wrote:
Will prolly have Willy at LaConner. I could bump into you some day!!!
******** Atta boy, Marin! If you say it enough, you will actually start to believe it!Marin wrote:*I'll take rain, snow, sleet,*cold and overcast any day over sun and heat................I love weather and the dynamics it brings.* It makes me feel alive.*
*We go to La Conner several times a year by car, usually on our way to or from Bellingham.* In fact I just bought a hard-to-find brace and bit in one of the antique stores there (need it for removing big bronze fasteners on the GB).* And you're right, La Conner is quite nice although it's become awfully twee and touristy over the last ten or fifteen years. But it's the boat that refuses to go south, not us.* Not that I blame it.*nomadwilly wrote:
LaConner's a fun place. Could be your loss. ....Actually I'm looking fwd to cruising the south sound. Why limit yourself Marin? One's boat and the world in general is limiting enough.
