The Pips were in good form as they awaited the arrival of S/V Gladys Knight
Leaning in for success
The day water did not seek its own level.
Simon says, “Lean to the left.”
Digging the scene with the sailboat lean
That party last night was so fun.
Oh captain, again, on what did you base the anchor rode scope calculations?
To the left, to the left, to the left, to the right, to the right, to the right….
Trilisting again!
Naughty puppie boats waiting for their mommy boat to come back to save them.
“Room at the mark!”
Sliiiiiiiide to the left!
“A single ten-pound mushroom for all three boats, are you sure?” “Yeah, it’ll be just fine once the tide goes out.”
Listing, listing, listing the night away. Now they’re untwisting, untwisting, to try and break away.
Lean on me and I’ll be your friend!
SHIFT HAPPENS
We’re all lean this together!
🎵Put your rail on my gunnel,
Lean into my side,
Baby🎵

Leaning left is okay. Be careful…if you lean too far, your boat can capsize
Bill never understood why his port and starboard shrouds both failed during the next storm.

Three Sheets to the Wind.
Shame on those Left leaning sailors. They’re all so shallow… Heh.
Leaning to the right isn’t as cool as it used to be.
