  1. Hey D.B. Couper, I spent years sailin' an' rowin' an' paddlin' around Merritt Island! Oysters are hard on a canvas kayak, though... huh.gif Th' ICW was me own private seaway as a lad! Me folks still live there, on Banana River Drive not more'n a mile south o' th' Barge Canal, right on th' Banana 'river' inlet...I used tae walk up tae th' 'Canal an park there, or sail from our dock, an' fish pratically every day in all weathers! Hey, "Homey"! ahh, Kelley park....biggrin.gif

    Sadly, I be stranded here these 24 years, high an' dry in Los Angeles, me timbers warpin' in th' sun....ah well. sad.gifwink.gif

    G'Day Mate, Ya be missin sum good sailin down here. If ya be lookin fer Tingley's... he be gone. And the barge traffic be gone too. Everything thing else tis the same as it twas.

  2. Aye, I be a sailor... pyrate. At the turn of the last century I crewed on various schooners for the Nova Scotia Bicentenial Schooner Races. I also had an opportunity to be on the Canadian Wild World of Sports photography boat for a different perspective. My current, and favorite, vessel is a 26 foot, Kenner Privateer Sloop, "Crescent Wench". My wench, Buxom Anne Marie and I sail her on the ICW around Merritt Island, Florida. When we not be landlaubber pyrating we be on the water, as a proper pyrate should be. We be pyrates long before joinin' The Brotherhood. Pyrate be in our blood.

  3. My experience with boats is that they are built for one specific purpose or another. Those that are built as multipurpose are less than desireable at each. A boat that is built for one purpose and used for another is inferior to a multipurpose boat.
