Kevin B (RPS Coach) Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Gene, I plan to attend. Bob Gene, Just saw your trip...didn't mean to try to preempt your with my post. What's your plan? Heading towards Gloucester or in a different direction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pintail Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 I might have considered joining you; but at 1400 there is to be a showing of "The Cove" here at Cape Ann Community Cinema to benefit The Ocean Alliance, who have taken over the old Paint Factory. This movie was an award-winner at Sundance earlier this year and has taken awards elsewhere, too. The Ocean Alliance are a most worthy organisation, concerning themselves with education and oceanic pollution... (Now, you want me to re-write all this in latin? See elsewhere a discussion re Valley's website) Have fun, you lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin-Based on the current forecast for NE winds the plan will be to head toward Gloucester.(That could change however if the forecast changes.) Should be plenty of rocks going or coming back. Hope you can join us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbjorn Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Amazing how fast things can change. First I try on my new GMER just arrived after six weeks of waiting. Then one ladder mishap, 13 forehead stitches, and one sprained ankle after my post a few hours back, and I won't be joining you, per doctor's orders. I argued that saline solution would be good for it. She countered with 'yes but NOT all the little critters that live IN that solution. I was too foggy and slow to come up with a counter-counter. So enjoy some rocks for me. Warning: beware aluminum feet on wet TREX decking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warning: beware aluminum feet on wet TREX decking. Sounds like a candidate for the "Hard Knocks" award to me. Wait!! I've finally emerged from my injury-induced fog, and now clearly recall the REAL events that caused my injury. Allow me to set the record straight once and for all. I was 3 miles offshore, circling the Gooseberries, when I was suddenly broadsided by a towering rogue wave, and capsized. Before I could roll up, the pectoral fin of this pesky shark which had been circling for the past 20 min. grazed my forehead with the equivalent of 50 grit sandpaper moving at 6 knots. Good thing I was able to roll up before the blood began to flow. Safe back on shore, in my haste to get out of my boat, I sprained my ankle. And now I have this beaut of a scar as living proof of my very close encounter with the jaws of death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
