Our beloved MSG will be represented at the nuptials in the form of a plastic baby Jesus from her collection selected by MSS. It is going to be one hell of a party! I kind of like Elle Rosenburg Has a certain ring to it

I didn't wade through all 34 pages of this thread but here are a couple of points I'd like to make... If they have already been stated, you have my apologies 1. A large ship, or even a smaller one, takes quite a while to turn and even longer to stop. Rule of thumb is if you see one coming get...

Thank you for sharing what was truly a horrifying experience. As I said when I first heard the news; "There but for the grace of God go all of us who muck about in boats." I will definitely be putting safety a little higher on the list of things to consider. Bless you Bryan and all of those on...

I could not attend yesterday but I was there in spirit as I worked in my yard planting flowers for Catherine's garden. She was a wonderful spirit who will live with us always. I think she would be blown away if she knew the extent to which her life affected all of us. It has greatly expanded my...

MSS is a welcome addition to our merry band of pranksters here. MSG was always giving me crap for not posting more. So I have now been drawn in and must say that I have found comfort here. Thank you all... We all remember a fabulous, irreverent, impish creature. It is wonderful that we can...

We have some new angels looking down today.... MSG is the one with the mop of curly brown hair, crooked halo and slightly smudged wings. She also has a huge smile on her face. I am sure she has found the boats and the beer She is my friend and will forever own a corner of my heart. Fair winds...

Dear sweet baby girl.... your battle is over on this earth and your new adventure is beginning. I expect you'll be waiting for me one day, please make sure the beer is cold It'll be one hell of a reunion. Mainsheetsister... you are a treasure beyond words! Your story started the waterworks...

Words are so shallow in the face of such tremendous loss Fiasco.... but I'll give it a shot I wish you peace in knowing her battle is over A calm heart in the memory of the love you shared and the strength to keep going

Ah.... it was a lovely nap sweet Catherine. Time to start getting the tools ready though and contemplate the removal of deck hardware. Sweet dreams MSG. Go the Catherine to wherever the wind may drive you

Need a nap... climbing in bed with you MSG... make a hole people

Catherine: Good morning. I can see you today, two fingers on the wheel, everything trimmed for perfect balance, sails looking liked carved ivory, close reaching along on a sunny day with 15 to 18 TWS and 10 knots of boat speed. The sun is shining on your face, there is a beer close buy and you...

One more bump to get you through until morning :-) GO THE CATHERINE! Always and forever...

It is a quiet evening here and I felt the need to send you a hug and a bump :-) Love you always and forever Catherine

A stupendous birthday to you HCW! Thank you for starting this thread... it is a life line in more ways than one. A cloudy day here in Florida Catherine and you know what? That's alright with me. Getting ready to head to Miami and compound the boat. Wish you were here to help. And by help I mean...

Wonderfully hot day here in Florida today... getting ready to pull the deck hardware, reseal, clean winches, and replace some lines. And, oh yea, go through the rig and reset it. Think I can get it done in time to race on Saturday? Almost forgot, need to compound and polish the hull too. Piece...

It is a glorious day today here in Florida and I am reminded of OCR's and stalking our favorite para sailor :-) How come you got to sit in his lap when it was my birthday? Oh yeah... you were the lightest. Love you Catherine! Keep fighting the good fight. We will get to sail together again...

Damn it I am not mourning you yet! I will lift a nice scotch and a beer in honor of you though. Wish I was there with the schnauzer terrorists so they could keep you warm. We may never have gotten to race together, but Race Committee has never been the same. Don't think Miss Marblehead has ever...

No, no, no, no, no..... Love you girl. RC has never been the same without you. Some of these people take it way to seriously. I have no more words...

Having spent a great part of my life around Stars and Star sailors, and having filled in as light air crew many times, I have to say that I agree with Koop. The lunatics are running the asylum. We've sat out before and were brought back in due to popular demand. The Star is a very expensive boat...

J24's are a great boat. I have a core crew of 3 and a rotating crew of 8 others. If you are going to be successful, you need to be able to do every position on the boat. If I have a crew member who is a good driver and no one who can do the bow, then I do the bow. We rotate positions as needed...
