All of my footwear is Brooks with mods.

Long Point Dress Code
 

Dang Sandy, I can't afford to dress like you and Thurston Howell......!
(Speaking of which, I met his nephew two weeks ago, down by Useppa Island)

Terry-Where is a picture of that Classic SeaCraft you own?? Once in a while we here at CSC get bombed by those pesky guys who own a Sailfish boat AKA SeaCraft copy and want to get some misplaced inclusion on CSC! Occasionally credentials are necessary.....I didn't want to do this........Sir can you please provide photographic proof of said SeaCraft with the guilty family included?? While shiny vinyl cushions, flashy instruments, and those fancy hatches with gas shocks are admired by most.....our crew here admires CSC members who have porous gelcoats, tannin stained hulls, 2 smokers, and especially anything to do with fiberglass work. It's your move :D.....

ok, I've seen that 19 in your album......your credentials appear to be in order. Carry on.....:D

Bench Racer
 

Dang Snookerd, I can't believe you'd accuse me of being one of the aforementioned. Conner told you I had #462 of Carl's run. What else would you need? I found it abondoned in a field with weeds grow'in up through the trailer! You'er sneakier than the NSA and more intrusive then the TSA check'in up on me like that; but I guess you got your job to do.

First of all you can call home and ask my wife - I always meet the "Smell Test" for this CSC site - a sprinkle of MEK, a dash of Quicksilver Oil, a dollop of Acetone, 1/2 a cup of axle grease and a half pint of Rum!

Besides I always am look'in out to see that other Sea Crafts or even Sail Fish and Sea Wolf owners know about this site. I just helped three get back in one afternoon down in Charlotte Harbor, a couple of weeks ago. Clueless Bastards, but I drug 'em back to the ramp 'cause they had one of "our" boats. (I do warn people regarding the site, about how zany "GoFast-you-know-who" is and how he comes up with all this "off the wall" stuff all the time that you can't possibly track with) So I'm do'in my best to be a good scout, but it's tough!

Terry-That 25 Bertram is going to be nice with twin outboards.....my apologies for earlier. Those dang Sailfish guys are out there.

I do a mean Locust Valley lock jaw. Ask me to order some coconuts at the gathering.

I had a bad roofing accident after Wilma and was not supposed to walk again. Crushed my heels and ankles. When the X ray tech shakes his head in disbelief, you have a row to hoe.
My Brooks technical running sneakers are my best friends. I have them loaded with extra padding, heel cups, and other mods. They are pricy, but no others work like they do and I have tried them all. All I wear. I walk like a bleeding penguin without them.

I have a good recipe for penguin somewhere...

I was down at Bobby Birdsall`s shop today. Been a while since we have had some fun talking boats. He has a barn find bow rider there. Deck was solid. Transom clicked a bit around the scuppahs.

He had a Bahama 41 in there with 7 marines on her. Those things are stupid big and 1200
lbs per. 80k per. Yikes.

Light n right.
Cheers,
Us

"I walk like a bleeding penguin without them"

Funny you mention that........we have seen the bleeding penguin walk across hot coals in action, not a pretty sight!!! I remember you at the last gathering cruising around the island without your "bucky beaver ground grippers" on and the misery you were in the next morning with your feet. Ouch!! Lesson learned, shoes firmly on feet first....libations second!! :) :)

I hear ya' Sandy, Most people don't know that your heel bone is more like a light bulb than what one thinks of as a typical bone. If you shatter it with a severe impact and need to re-set it, it would be like putting a light bulb back together with duct tape. Most the time they re-set as a series of broken pieces and it is almost impossible to get it correct without putting it in a new cast every two weeks. My favorite brother-in-law went through that torture for a year.

At Long Point I suppose the important thing is that we get a couple of good confortable chairs by the fire, a half a solo cup of Don's Elixer and just like in CCR's Green River, we'll "watch them barefoot girls danc'in in the moonlight".
Save me a spot in case I'm runn'in late, Bro'......

Still paying for that. Doc Levy told me I cant walk on the beach with shoes on nine years ago. Ok Doc, you got my attention with that one. Broken light bulbs indeed.

J. Covington Howell here, I hope I have reached the appropriate site for this inquiry. Recently, after a rousing polo game at Naples Downs on Saturday, January 4, my most impetuous Fraternity Brothers from Princeton, Grant Sandburg, and R. James Wainwright both insisted that we celebrate our victorty over Rob Roys at Useppa Island. After borrowing Grant's uncle's gun metal gray truck (an actual pick up truck like one of our gardeners would use) So rather than the three of us squeeezing into my M-3, we belted ourselves into this brutish steed of a vehicle. (I had no idea that Honda built trucks). Then after driving through several quaint fishing villages with common tourists wandering about, we arrived at a marina where the boat was stored in some sort of vertical filing system. There was a boat ramp for the common boaters at the site where several ruffians and undesirables were standing about. Then his beast of a vehicle literally carried Grant's uncle's boat and placed it ever so carefully in the water, just before us. It was a beauitiful seafoam green craft, highlighted with accenting dark green canvas and matching canvas covered fenders proudly displayed in stainless steel baskets attached to the bow rails. This was a truly exquisite boat of the highest quality with the name "Sailfish" emblaisened on the stern quarter. On the transom of this wondrous Aquatic Steed was a truly dramatic shimmering silver outboard motor of gigantic proportions similar to that of a major kitchen appliance. In bold letters across the back of it was proudly inscribed 130 (I had no idea Honda built outboard motors)

After a short run over to Useppa and a delightful afternoon of reliving the highlights of our exciting and extremely stressful polo game and enjoying
the company of my fraternity brothers we started back across the Pine Island Sound. Apparently, the libations caused Grant to veer slightly out of the channel and we abruptly ran aground causing all sorts of havoc and casting things about.
Several boats passed by as we waived frantically for assistance. Finally, a very old, rust stained boat, after initially passing by us and preforming some sort of one finger nautical salute, turned around and came up along side our helplessly marooned vessel. A rather rotund fellow with a three day stubble, dressed in a flannel shirt with cut off coveralls and white rubber boots then asked "Did you fellers run out of water?" Grant retorted that "No we had a case of Pierre, but that we seem to have run aground, somehow and that now we couldn't get our engine to start". His boat, although similar in profile to the beautiful Sailfish of Grant's uncle, had nets and fishing gear of all sorts and wood crates with all species of sea life wiggling, withering and squirming about and the interior surface appeared to be some kind of organic blue-green reptilian finish, of which I had never witnessed, even as a Biology Minor. His engine coughed and wheezed and emitted a noxious cloud which hung about the general area. I am certain that this individual carried lineage directly from some blackhearted scalawag, and not the true blue bloods of my heritage, but we were at his mercy. After passing us a tow line he pulled us back to the marina through a continuous haze of smoke produced by his antique outboard motor. After he secured us at the marina dock we attempted to pay this hapless soul for his kindness but he refused saying "I thought you waz a Seacraft. If you put it in neutral the key will work but there just weren't no sense in leavin ya' out there like some kind of flotsam or jetsam". He did say that there was some type of Sea Craft (which I suppose is some kind of an inexpensive copy of the Sailfish)
Extravaganza in May over on the Gold Coast and I was hoping to get more information about this event. He said to query someone known as "Pooh Bah". Hopefully, I'm at the correct website.
Thank you, in advance for you direction in this matter,
J. Covington Howell III

Admin. please flag as spam.......:eek::rolleyes:

Those dad-gummed Cosmonauts have struck again! :D

And folks think I am ADD???

This thread has now officially gone over the edge...Please kill it before it keeps on spreading...LOL

[QUOTE=Islandtrader;224097]This thread has now officially gone over the edge...Please kill it before it keeps on spreading...

It is getting cold here and my brain is the size of a
chestnut.

Dear Mr, Pooh Bah / No Bones,
Thank you so, so much for responding to my recent inquiry regarding the May Sailfish Extravaganza at Long Point. After our narrowly escaping certain death at our last yachting experience at Charlotte Harbor and meeting your most colorful associate who towed us to safety, we thought this might be an opportunity for Grant, Rob and I to experience this enchanting Earl Flynn-like life that you and your swashbuckling friends live. However, just to make certain we don't have any issues when we arrive in Rob's father's 55' Motor Coach I have a couple of questions -
1) Is there separate lodging near the site for our driver?
2) Are those exotic Sailfish power boats available for rent?
3) Does the Tiki Bar at Port Carla accept Master Card?
4) Will boats with the words Sea Craft written in cursive be excluded due
to their extremely old age?
5) Can Don V make a Rob Roy with elixir?
6) What time does the "Hot Beach Yoga with Snookerd" class start?
7) Typically, how much are Spanglish lessons with Sandy?
If you would kindly respond to my personal secretary, Ms. Wanda Wiggins at this e-mail address, I'm sure we can finalize our plans.
Regards, J. Covington Howell III

First of all, when'd you find time to buy yourself a pair of those white Homosassa Nike's, what with only 2 hours of daylight and all?

Second, right now West Marine's got mens shirts for the fashion-conscious boater in colors like "Nasturtium", and "Cantaloupe", and "Mango". They're Clearance priced, no less. And down here, you can even wear them to church.

You'll blend right in with the other weather refugees....uh, I mean Winter Visitors.

5) Can Don V make a Rob Roy with elixir?

What's a Rob Roy? One of those foo-foo drinks? I'm not too much in to "making" anything with the elixir, we just "make" the effort to take off the lid and drink. :)

Terry, someone should have warned you that its very dangerous to stand close behind those polo steeds even with those funny hard hats you all wear, but you probably don't remember what happened anyhoooo.

Very happy to respond to your recent inquiry Mr. Howell
(by chance any relation to Thurston Howell III ?)

LP limits coach size at 45'
Plenty of room in the beast though!

Ta ta for now.......

Sandy, have you met your match? or is it still a dead heat??

Hey Conner, at this rate the thread will be well in to the 100 page range by May!! :)

Oh no Conner, I embrace and encourage the insanity that is The Monkey House.

Most are here voluntarily, while my stay was court mandated. As long as I can drive the short bus and take the other patients fishing, it`s all good. I don`t trust the gal at the dispensary though...

Mmm,
Juicy Fruit

Dressing for Eternity
 

Thanks for the fashion tip Father. I been lay'in awake at night wonder'in about if when I die and if they bury me in a suit and tie then when I get to Heaven, would I have to wear that for Eternity? Not sure about the Mango yet, but I am dang sure I don't want to go through eternity dressed as a banker.....! Maybe just a blue or yellow Columbia would be more appropriate for Eternity.

When I get to Shalimar, if you can pull some strings, I'm going to that Episco-pelican church where it's OK to wear Colombia. Tween now and then I'll do my best to - go in peace, to love and serve the Lord. (well, except for agrivat'in these Knuckleheads on this site)

Let's not get our spandex panties in a bunch.......:eek:
LP will be off the the chain! All we need is a few guests from The Hull Truth's 23SC to Conch 21 thread to liven it up!

Where on earth did you get the idea that "agrivat'in these Knuckleheads" was not peacefully serving the Lord?

For some here, (You know who you are) jumping to conclusions, running around in circles, dodging the important issues, sidestepping crises, and pushing their luck is all the exercise they get!

As my bishop said, sometimes aggravatin' is motivatin' !!!

Shakin` the tree here boss, shakin the tree. My church is just a tad east of my keyboard as I complete my cardio for the day. Tell Zeus or whoever is in charge to stop blowin` here.

Is it true that Pelicans all go to heaven?

Cheers,
GFS

Yes Sandy All Pelican go to Heaven!;);)

Even 'dem big 'ol stupid white ones what bob around on the surface insteada' divin' in like them brown ones and com'in up some fish like Kmoose?

Speak'in of which, he went off to the Carribaean wif his Child-bride and we ain't heard a peep from him. Wonder if they's workin on makin some little Moostikeers?

Only if he goes wading without his boots on....:eek::cool:

Kmoose
 

Wait a minute. I know how to flush 'em out -

Gillie and Padre Frank -
"Is it true them big 'ol 4 stroke Zuk's is got chain drive like a 1929 Mack Truck and a 71 Oldsmobile Tornado? I thought they was supposed to be cut'in edge technology or something?"

That should get him chummed up....! (unless he brought some of them Barry White tapes with him)

Do all Moose go to heaven?

I duh-no 'bout them Zukes but these modern California contraptions use belts and they are slick as snot and stealthy as skunk works, so don't be poaching in the redwood forests:

Chain Drive Zukes
 

Gillie, This ain't the Classic Dirt Bike web site here! I'm talk'in about those Zuke outboards. Man, I heard tell they was chain drive too, like some 'ol long nosed Buick Rivera that Shaft would drive around in.

Besides, would you get to work on elect'in someone other than those crazy women you guys keep send'in to Congress. At least keep 'em out there studin' the Snale Darter, Prairie Mouse or some other tiny critter and leav'in the rest of us alone.....!

First of all, Terryble one, I'm pretty sure they aint womens. And I ain't gonna git any closer to confirm. Dem crazy ones are stricks neighbors up north. And we's been trying to bounce em out for years, but it appears they've got pictures of somebody in compromising postions. :eek:
Their mindsets are very similar to donkeys, so maybe strIck can do some donkey whispering and direct them deep into redwoods or green woods:D

I take it that Mr. Howell is not of the liberal persuasion.....;)

Thank God for that!!! :)

We are on the same page, even if you miss a day of
prescribed medication! :rolleyes:

They wanted to give me Ritalin as a squid. You will never catch me. Never. Well, maybe these days.

Amen brother!;)

Focused on Long Point
 

Gee Willicers Snookerd, You ain't supposed to be the one leading the charge out in the swamp like Billie Bowlegs...! First these guys get out in left field go'in on about Kmooose and his Mary Ann from Gilligan's Island down in the Caribbean then they's wade'in around in religion with Fr Frank and the Anglican Pelicans and now you got 'em all tangled up in California Politics. These is all areas that should be left alone and only discussed by peoples with PHD's and pretty much "certified smart" like that.

And don't go open'in up that 2 stroke / 4 stroke scar tissue either, 'cause you ain't dragg'in me into that since I'm adopt'in that great 20 century author and composer, Sylvester Stones mantra that theoretically they's just plain "Different Strokes for Different Folks" and we's all just Everyday Peoples.

You'er in the Wheelhouse and this site's got the worst steering of any of 'em. We got a worn out rack and pinion, leaking hydraulic "O" rings, bad ball joints, blowed out sway bar bushings and the rudder's waller'in around in the post. We got more trouble here that the Maersk Alabama when the Somali FWC showed up!

I said Chivas on the rocks.
