Make that 3 of us. That pic sure looked like Viking and the 2X4 studs were in the pic too.

For others that may wish to get hold of HR: from Latitude38:

Before setting sail, they still need some basics like cleats, blocks and stanchions,

so if you can help, give Hot Rod a call at (530) 680 4351. We wish him, Michael and Grandma Carol the best of luck.

Be sure to ask what happened to lilmurray if you call.

I'm just reporting what I observed. There's no doubt that's Mike's picture on here but I don't think he's responsible for posting it. We basically had to explain the gist of the thread to him twice. Having talked to the guy face to face I really don't think he was playing dumb to fool us.

One funny minor thing I left out in the initial post: as we made our initial approach to the FH, Dan shouted "Git yer bumpers out! Git yer bumpers out!" while pointing at our fenders before he took our line. It's become kind of a running joke. (Rick said it once as we were pulling into a parking space at the hardware store to great effect)

Should we build a Care Package to drop off to the FH ??

If so What should it include ??

(1) Beer

(2) A print out of this thread in a Ring Binder

(3) ?????

(4)

Could you be so kind as to tell us the date of this encounter?

 

[derelicte]

SFORightSeat,

Thanks for your on the water report! Well done!

Do you remember the date you visited the FH? Although it sounds like it was when HR was in the klink which was after he started posting here.

I'd throw in a few bucks for a spot for the care package. It would make everyone's lives here more enjoyable.

If you go back, you should bring a missing poster with lilmurray's pic on it!

"HR replied: "Well, you know... if you hang around barber shop you end up with haircut."

^^^That is absolutely classic. So if you hang around a library you'll learn to read... Right...? No???

SFORightSeat, appreciate the update (pretty well written too), and quite possibly saved the thread from more modersickle babble. For now.

It's a good line. I said it to some girls at Mardi Gras once and they did!

I guess they were concerned that some errant screws sticking out of the FH might scratch your boat.

Excellent "field trip" report, SFORight seat!!

And yes welcome! We will allow you a free pass on the ususal SA welcome of "FUCK OFF AND SHOW US YOUR WIFES/GIRLFRIENDS TITS!" for obvious reasons....

 

[billy backstay]

Forgot to ask; whose sock puppets were impersonating Hot Rod and Viking on here I wonder???

 

[dockrat]

Anybody claiming to have been onboard and not seen the inside is full of Shit and there is no beer allowed on this vessel

If I recall, you are somehow associated with the Flyin Hawaiian. True? Can you post some picts so that we can stop any speculation? Many thanks.

Since HotRod himself seems to have been pretty open about having posted here, and the unintelligible sock puppets seemed to go away completely during the incarceration period and since then, I think all those posts were from HR himself. Mike the awesome Viking might very well be relatively unaware about all of this.

So does that mean that anyone claiming to have been aboard Flyin' Hawiian and found it to seem 'solid' are also full of shit?

Okay kids, linked for your reading pleasure is the US Coast Guard case report and other documentation concerning the July 31, 2013 incident with FH. Its a 2.6MB PDF file. Enjoy.

Thanks jarcher.

Great work!!

Not difficult to snap a quick picture if you are actually aboard...

No, it was "Mike the awesome Viking" who provided a pic of himself to be posted...

No beer? Clearly you're not, and have never been, a sailor.

someone had mentioned that the quote about a barber shop and haircut is from AA....

so.. it could be that the FH is a booze free zone...

I admire anyone who faces up to a problem and puts in place a system to insure that the problem does not reoccur.

Unfortunately, I also know many 'sailors' that do have a problem that the bottle controls them. Not a good situation.
