Twas the night before Christmas
Written by our dear friend Capt. Pete
TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS and all through Sanuk,
The bilge pumps were hustling to keep us afloat,
We were covered and nestled all snug in our berths,
(We’ve slept here for months enroute to Lake Worth)
As Tracy uploaded her photos and I savored my beer
She said “You've had enough, now come to bed dear.”
Then out on the dock there arose an uproar
As I reached in the fridge to get just one more.
Stupid Sailor
A man fell overboard from his little sailboat, and was thrashing around in the water when another boat pulled up.
"Jump in, we'll save you" - they screamed.
"No" cried the drowning man, "God will save me".
The scene was repeated twice more and then a helicopter hovered over the man.
"We came to rescue you" yelled the pilot.
"No, God will save me" was the response again.
The man drowned, and as he crossed the Pearly Gates, he ran straight to Jesus.
Bound for Key West
A sailor notices a nun leaving his ship shortly after liberty call was announced. Both walk towards a nearby bus stop and wait. The sailor can't seem to stop staring at her. She asks him why is he staring and he replies, "I have a question to ask you but I don't want to offend you."
She answers, "My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive."

taken. "You've got to have a room somewhere," he pleaded. "Or just a
bed, I don't care where."
"Well, I do have a double room with one occupant -- an Air Force guy,"
admitted the manager, "and he might be glad to split the cost. But to
tell you the truth, he snores so loudly that people in adjoining rooms
have complained in the past. I'm not sure it'd be worth it to you."
At a snails pace
I average 7 mph on my boat.
Granted, my little boat is a terribly slow boat, but even the more modern live-aboards only average 8-9 mph. Sometimes I just have to wonder, why did we choose a sailboat? The average human walking speed is 3 mph so it would take me twice as long to walk somewhere. But luckily there are alternatives to that. The average bicycle moves at 10 miles an hour, nearly 1 1/2 times faster than my boat. But you can't live on a bicycle, or can you?
