Captain Deb Returns to Sea!
« on: February 11, 2009, 11:22:46 am »
AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRNOSIRRRRREEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

The old girl ain't sunk YET!!!! And here be the digital PROOF!!!!!!!!



After a fierce battle wiv the Headache Monster, yer Fearless Leader has lived to sail the Seven Seas once again! Armed to the teeth wiv the dreaded Topamax Torpedoes and Neurontin Nukes, Posieden has once again allowed me to venture forth across the Rolling Blue. Or shall we say Flat Turquoise as it was, after all, Sarasota Bay.

I actually ventured forth also, onto the cabin top of our Coronado 26 as seen from this shot:



It was pretty chilly that day, but we are going out again on Saturday, and it is supposed to be 89 degrees so you may get some bikini shots yet! (Yeah, right!) More photos to follow if you wish................



Sailing off into the sunset..........

I'm sure the Headache Monster is no match for that beautiful blue water!

Have a boat drink for me next time you're out there!

Deb, my former boss and his wife sold just about everything they owned -- house, a couple of apartment buildings, furniture, you name it -- put the rest in storage and bought a catamaran. They lived on it for two years and our family was fortunate enough to be able to spend a night with them on Kentucky Lake one summer. The kids were quite small but still remember the boat. They got to steer! They have since sold the catamaran and live in Idaho now, but what an adventure. I don't think I could be quite that gutsy.

Great shots, Deb.  And great fun.  I know Sarasota Bay well.  My mom had a place on Siesta Key and I've been out on that beautiful bay many times.  Enjoy!
