Caption Contest(!)
It’s that time again! We’re sharing this month’s Caption Contest(!) a little earlier than usual, as February is a short month! It’s only two or three days, but in our world, that could make the difference between getting the March issue to the docks on time, or having it arrive “un”-fashionably late — and we don’t want that!
So here it is, our February photo. While it could be a recent occurrence, given January’s wild weather, no boats known to us were harmed in the taking of this photo. The image has been making the rounds on the internet for more than 10 years. (If you are the original photographer, thank you; all credit goes to you.)

Maybe you pulled down on that cunningham a little too much, Bob.
OK…break out the anchor, we’ll try kedging off.
Yard sale Saturday low tide
I think we are secure.
This is why you want to stay topside when you go aground.
Don’t you just love a project!
Ya think there’s a ghost-of-a-chance this will sail?
This is not my idea of a hurricane hole!
Take off your shoes, please. We don’t want to get sand down below.
Our new Subterranean Sailing technology will win races and lower shipping distances, just as soon as we get the prototype moving again!
Sweetie Quick! What does the depth sounder say?
Gives the meaning “on the hard and “a new perspective!
No reason to worry dear, this boat is rigged with all the latest electronics. I just gotta figure out where that salesman put the instructions.
Land ho!
Sanded , now all I have to do is paint.
Or… I think you went a little heavy on the non skid.
Land Yacht!
Custom Sand Sailor
A little more cleanup, and we should be ready for that hurricane.
Is it me or do the winches seem sticky to you?
The original beach craft.
For once the rigging lasted longer than the boat.
We don’t need no stinking chain on our anchor.
You said you didn’t like to heel…so how do you like the new anti-skid deck?
DNF
As is, where is.
I told you not to mix sugar in with the fiberglass!
Got the rigging at Minney’s for a good price. Waiting for a deal on the rest
Buried Treasure!
It’s a start, Marge. But eventually we’ll sail off of this island back to civilization
Surveyor: “Standing rigging: check!”
From Mike Mahoney: Be careful to whom you opine, “The hull needs a wet sanding”…
“Fortunately, nearly all of our buoyant anchor rode washed ashore and was recovered.”
Holy crap, we may be aground.
Much like Oak Island, we found evidence that early explorers from a past century visited this shore and buried their bounty, only for us to discover it as it emerges from the depths.
But I thought starboard was left …
Just furl the lines and call it a day
Hey, is that a lee shore? Naaaaah….
“Jim look! The new play ground equipment on the beach is nautical themed!”
