Sailing’s version of China’s Tank Man!
I think we’re gonna need a bigger boat!
Damn/spit! We just missed our transport ship to Shanghai!
“It’s OK, its not Urgent….”
Hey Cap!
Bay is getting a little lump ahead…
Sorry Dude! I just didn’t see you.
Anchors a weigh
Yep, she has a Danforth on the bow!
Starboard!
Hold you course. We don’t want to confuse him with any quick moves.
Round up and Down we go!
Starboard!
Not to worry, We got the right of way, we’re under sail!
All is not as it appears. Again. But this time without unpleasant consequences.
Five blasts! Really? Hey I’m a sailboat.
The Tunnage Rule Rules !!!
Sweetheart, would you fall off just a tad?
It looks bigger up close.
Gamely holding on starboard tack, he was “dead right”.
You DO see that boat off to starboard, don’t you Frank??
Are you my mom?
Red Right Returning!
ARROOOOOGAH – Dive! Dive! Dive!
Looks more like an Argent Sunset!

Have you ever stopped to consider the inconsequential nature of our existence in relation to the larger universe?
…. bake 30 minutes at 350F and there you have it … pineapple upside-down cake.
Remind me why we bought that ship’s anchor, and how the hell are we going to get it aboard to take it back to port?
Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?
Scotty, more power to the shields.
Tactician’s gambit; bow cushion assist.
You may be right but you would be dead right!
Houston, this could hurt if it hits us!!!
Don’t worry, they’ll get out of the way. I learned that on the Saratoga.
NOW are you glad we didn’t set the spinny?
Down 5 degrees for noise abatement.
Someone call 911!
OK, Now when we get in their lee, we’ll launch the Latitude in the potato cannon onto the bridge! If it doesn’t get us killed, we might get a free t-shirt!
Oh, and start the engine and get ready to gybe!
…and now is NOT the time to light that joint!
Watch out, that sail boat on the port side is getting too close!
