nothing really since I sail without my glasses ... wasthinking of tying a blue ribbon or something to the mast tip to warn people who see me.

www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=spadger
Spadger:
"this would be a term that a male can use to point out a nice looking or attractive"

It doesn't finish the sentence. Kiter perhaps?

see plenty of flying fich during summer in warnbro sound but the best was a guy hurling his guts up while he was sailing, hooked in and all RESPECT!!!!

I saw an old German guy in Vass with speedos and a seat harness that had the straps cranked so tightly that both his nutts were flopping about outside his speedos, he was hooked in and totally oblivious to why everyone passing him was pi**ing themselves laughing

but whats a spadger ????

Didn't anyone ever read 'the picture' magazine in it's glory days? (rubbish now) get some culture about youse... they had a complete alternate vocabulary for anatomy which is still widely used by more learned people than your good selves obviously, and probably those in the medical profession.

eg a Spadger = very attractive woman. she probably has a nice smoo which if I saw it might cause a stir in my tockley and cause me to spoont.

And just to complete the trip down memory lane how about

had a sea lion climb over the stern for a look.

If that was on the land yacht then you have won this thread, hands down!

No sorry it was in the old days, singlehanding a flying ant. they had only just invented a thing called a windsurfer, I had only seen one in pictures

I saw a waterspout

1 - In the early 90's i use to sail at Caloundra a lot, sailing through Pumicestone Passage the dolphins use to swim beside you and rub their bellies against the board. 1st time it happened i crapped!!! but after it it was a novelty, then became annoying as they would do it when going at full speed!!!

2 - my last Sail at the train on the Goldy - the strippers boat doing a session for some party goers - only time i ever perfected a gybe and successfully gone upwind!!!

Coogan, the c0ckless detective...

And yes, I had collected the picture mag for about 4 years (from age of 16)...sad day about 10 years ago when I decided to throw out 3 archive boxes full of mouldy mags that I had stored in the garage...took a whole day to do it whilst I strolled down memory lane!

Btw, was it just me, or did everyone go straight to home girls to see if any locals posted their pics?

I forgot about the beach toy thing. If you head offshore you see heaps of blow up toys. One time training off the canary islands belting along at 20knots we saw a big inflatable pool chair, skipper headed down and told me to grab it nearly ripped my arms off! Mates saw one of those three wheeled water bike that they hire out but it was 300miles from the nearest land
