The wind has been so reliable this summer I have forgotten what else to fills the weekend.
longboard sailing (or racing in Hobbit town)
Fishing
topiary
rip the old Starboard/Severne stickers off the car and put new ones on.
count my speed fins
solve P=NP
buy a dog
sew Easter Bunny outfit
I wanna see u in an easter bunny out fit
Thinking that maybe I could paint out the stripes on my Zebra outfit....or just convince the kids that rabbits are stripy.
You're right Al apart from a sh.tty 3 weeks in Nov I reckon I've sailed 5 days out of 7 since I tried to retire
what can i say... ,Oh what a glorious summer,
I might go round to ANTs and count how many pubes he has grown on his balls since going up North so much.

Its World Happiness Day and your spending it thinking about Houston's testicles!!! Its a "Southern Thing" I guess....
Sunday could be windy after lunch. ! I'm keeping optimistic and my eye on the water, a sail may happen yet.
Hopefully with less ladish conversations like those above.
Gill, like you I'm deeply offended by the, as you call it, the laddish conversation above...................very childish I think.
You on the other hand are much more interesting.................ah er umm..........I mean the fact that you talk about the wind and the possibility of a sail is more the type of discussion we encourage on this forum
More on the prospects of a sail.....
The forecast peak of 14knots was actually ten knots more at 25-33 knots last night.!
Maybe Sundays forecast 20knots will be 30knots if we are lucky.
Not science but desperate sail talk. I will be watching the observations closely on Sunday.
Hopefully with less ladish conversations like those above.

No offence blokes, but sailing is far more interesting.

Depends on whether you're talking ladies or lads
Following on from Al's problem state, ie "The complexity of theorem proving procedures" P=NP.
Up north there are only 2 states, sailing or drinking.
Easily solved, although bunny suits would have been a welcome addition to the brewery bar last night.

And with all your good natured pee-taking posts Houston, you have taken the over the mantel of Tassie's most numerous Seabreeze poster! Keep up the good work.
Rub a dub dub, 4 blokes in a pub. No wind up North I presume.

What were we doing all holding empty cups???
Your right Ant plenty of opportunity to sail... in the last year I sailed 250 times... I am still pretty useless at it... but really Ive had a ball...not such a bad way to goof your time away.

Lucky retired people. Took my retirement too early (back in my thirtys) now I'm paying for it, working long hours to make up for it
. I remember the days I used to have sailing charts of where I sailed, what direction & what size gear. Think I'll be working until I'm 90 now.
You guys seriously drinking or just staring at a camera??
We have some damn fine quality beers, and when those of us, so privileged, to be allowed to Enter the staff bar of Wizards, the whole point is to drink beer. Dunno what you muppets down south do - stand around staring at it?
You old buggers with bad eyes might want to click on the picture too...
Not many on the water today, but it was windy, sunny and those on the water had a great sail.
It was about 25-27 knots and at half tide it was especially smooth.
These are a couple of Alan's photos
I hear that someone may have pulled the trigger on the weekend... how is the nose of the board greenie??
Ha ha Hamish!!
Yep pulled the trigger on a forward and smashed the nose of what was once my favourite board.
All repaired now and ready to pull the trigger again

Nice work Greeny it sounds like you need a free Severne tee shirt. There is one here at the shop for you
I also have a couple of extra tees which look a bit like Mediums and am willing to listen to reasonable and unreasonable arguments as to why anyone should get a tee (owning at least one Sevene sail is probably a prerequisite although donations of beer may be considered)
I also have some very large Starboard stickers up for grabs.
Hey Al
I organised that cutie reporter to come knocking on your door. Does that earn me a T shirt. I also have a BLUE Severne sail and make home brew!!

Do I look like Miley Cyrus (Ok so there is a faint resemblance), but unlike her I despise the paparazzi!!! I wont hold this against you, there is a tee shirt waiting for you.

You are still a step in front of me then. Hopefully won't discourage the next attempt.

Can I reserve a large sticker for the Rosey Red Bus of our Mayor and President, and captian of the Rosey Life Saving Club - Mr Broomby
Seriously.
Please.

For sure...That bus deserves a couple of stickers.
As it happens, I have 3 Severne Sails and would be more than willing to 'fly the flag' until the Tee is well and truly worn out (as you all know).
My average T-shirt age is about 3 years and so I would be a good investment......
Sold?
And, I did encourage Greenie to stick a large, foam pillow onto the nose of his ex-favourite board, in anticipation of a few more 1/4 turns.
I think that he considered that it would look too un-cool, so he rebuilt the nose in SOLID glass / resin. That shift in C of G should make the forward rotations easier, oddly enough.
