Boat Babe on Strike!

[Boat Babe]

Until this web site is fixed so that pics can be posted again, I'm outta here.....which is too bad since I just ordered 4 new bikinis from Victoria's Secret.....Boat Babe

[Gregg18047]

GET TO WORK AND FIX THIS THING!!!

[Boat Babe]

Here is the message I'm getting when trying to post photos.....never got it previously and have not changed anything......Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1948 bytes) in /Applications/4DWebSTAR/WebServer/DefaultSite/forums/php/function.php on line 39

nm ?

[Mac]

when and where she likes! Steph we're all waiting for the next shot. My wife wants to see the suit you pick. Thanks, Mac

[Mac]

we forgive you! You look like you have a great family there. Hopefully we can all just get along and finally settle this delema.:)

[Steve Dion]

Add an emoticon to your post! *pop

[Brian D]

This is a boating forum, yes? *! What a novel idea... :)

[Aaron]

for picking up the "Slack". Joe im sure you are right, but all we have are the pics and stories. ;D And of course im not serious about the hard time.

[Stu Jackson]

Who said all the pretty girls were on powerboats!?!Glad they were wrong. *5

[soling42]

Sorry, Those grainy, low rez, sneakin' through 3 boats and a marina shots just don't have enough detail to make a good call on the best course to take. Repositioning the wenches/winches is very tricky biz. Brian and Steph have the best example for "close up/ hi-res/ hi-quality/ attn to detail" that's usually needed for such important work. Close-ups from all angles in varying eqt are appriciated/expected.Glad S&B got the photo dilema fixed.Try, try again..(just to stay on topic)Nice boat. Hey, anything I can do to help keep the quality up:)Michael and Kelli

[Rick A]

has tan lines!

[Alan]

...only on the bottom....;D

[Terry Cox]

just for boat babes. Such a wonderful and beautiful distraction from sailing. And the views are off the chart.Terry

[Mac]

martini is that?? It looks boatlicious!! Maybe we can name a boat drink after you:)

[Mac]

are you?? Don't you know that we need more pictures of your boat:) !! You got us hooked so please share more pictures of your lovely boats! Thanks and we continue to support this website.

[Rich Stidger]

nm

[ConchyJoe]

Here it is!

[Mac]

it's been too long for you not to let us know how your doing! You need to let us know that your still afloat and enjoying life! Do you ever make chocalate martini's on the boat? Mac

[Carlo12726]

Happy Holiday to all!!!! I wonder if Boat Babe is going to post any Santa Bikinni pics????

[Mac]

guess who is modeling a tank top?? Is that you BB? L and A should do a "Find Boat Babe" hidden in the mag somewhere like find waldo! First to submit the location gets a prize!! Were still waiting for some new shots BB. Merry Christmas to everyone and Happy New Year!!! Mac

[Rick A]

I saw some of your photos posted on another forum.... damned pirates!

[tom h]

23 days.... didn't those Bikini's arrive yet? Should we call the customer service department of VS to find out where they are?

[Carlo12726]

I guess Christmas came a day late for us Bikini Watchers.. It was worth the wait.Happy New Year to all

[Fred Ficarra]

If she were blond she'd look like my wife. Took her to the Caribbean too, to show her off. Except I took every opportunity to encourage her to not wear anything. ;D And she usually didn't (wear much)

[DJW]

If I had a pair of Elves like that helping me on Christmas Eve I am not sure how many delivers I would get made.

[Dan Johnson]

just checked your web site again just to be sure but didn't see any Steph-like pics...were you referring to the Camaro??? LOL!

[Fred Ficarra]

And I just asked her (again) if I could post some of my favorites. She said one word; "No". :(

[NYSail]

hey Fred, We will not tell her you posted them.........

[Dan Johnson]

what happened to her desire for that 15 minutes of fame that we're all supposed to experience at least once in our lives!!! LOL!!!

[Mac]

you need to talk to this girl! Life is too short. I know us guys would not hesitate!! :)

[Fred Ficarra]

Every one I've ever taken, and there are hundreds, she's not wearing more than a thong. And that means the Caribbean way; no top. I guess she's more comfortable where most every woman is doing the same thing. *o

[ConchyJoe]

Laurie is the exact same way. Something about the freedom of not having to wear support for a while. I have to make her put on a top just to take a picture.I am pretty sure I heard that from someone else around here too.I just have never seen her more happy than when she is laying on the tramp, and reading a good book, topless.

[Brian]

...it's the only excuse I could get away with to avoid the chaos!Haven't you ever been "sick" before? It's great... 3 days of bed rest, being waited on by a hot chick who brings me food anytime I want, movies, naps... plus it's the only vacation I've had in the last 6 months!Good to hear from you, Tim!

[Dan Johnson]

you been practicing sewing cringles and tying knots??? LOL! Happy New Year!

[Dave5031]

68 replies, Boat Babe you just thought you were on strike. Happy New Year Brian & Steph.Fair WindsDave h23 "Wind Dreamer"

[mack]

Now do you think the calendar would work? LOL I get to hold the lights;D! Mac

[Fred Ficarra]

"Let's hear an update on Epitome soon."It dawned on me this morning (oops, no pun intended) that you might be accessing my old site that is still up. Here's the new one. Same stuff, just more.

[tom]

Wow Fred you have a lot of photos. Photos of an old boat torn apart can be interesting. But I'd rather see photos of the boat babe running about the Bahama's(or where ever) in her smallest bikinis. A boat ready to sail with a pretty crew is more interesting than a project. Project photos just remind me that I need to work on my boat.

[RG]

Okay guys, Steph said she was an overachiever and was aiming at 10K views. Let's get this thing over 10K to see what will happen next!

[brian]

*yks ...now you've done it! ...see the meter? It's counting backwards because of that pic! Sorry, Steph... and it's all Bob's fault! *cry

[tom h]

Put Steph in a bikini...shove her into a cooler at Costco for a few minutes and ....taaa daaaa...Miss January! Take a pic!!!

[T J Furstenau]

BTW - Broke the 10,000 mark.

[Danny18925]

...now what do we get ?

[Boat Babe]

I'll come up with something worth all of your efforts.... *666

[Tim Welsh]

if everyone that viewed this page looked at it for just a minute, thats over 166 hours of viewingCongrats boat babe Tim WelshS/V Cabo Wabo

[Captain Bob]

Way to go Brian.

[mack]

your not going to the Philly show??

[ConchyJoe]

That has 2-3 pictures of the newly re-discovered, now famous Boat Babe in it. Dare I say an upcoming issue will have her on the cover, as it surely will happen.Not to mention a nice 1/4 page piece on a particular Solar product that is really cool.We have created a monster guys.

[Ross in Tampa]

Stephanie and Brian,Looking forward to seeing you in Miami. I am assuming that you will be hanging at the solar stick booth???? See you in a month...Ross in Tampa

[Boat Babe]

Just ordered a few new bathing suits.....should arrive in time for the boat show.How can one examine a sailboat properly in street clothes?

[droopy]

with your beautiful boating pictures and stunning good looks you could publish a sailing calendar. I would buy one!

[Ross]

worn out bikini? are they some what akin to wornout paper clips? played with, pulled out of shape,and abandoned? Shop on girl and set the heart aflutter.

[r.w.landau]

February is coming soon and puxy Phil only comes out once a year.r.w.landau

[Mack]

would you autograph one of your worn out bikini's for me? Count me in! Mac

[SeacretSailor]

Just got the new issue of Latts & Atts and was wondering if that's a picture of Steph inside? Very beautiful woman in a pink L&A tank top that has to be her!Kevin B.

[Ross in Tampa]

Brian and Steph,Great, we will look you all up. We are looking so forward to the show, it has been on our calendars since the St. Pete show. Speaking of Calendars, I will drop you one of my business cards, I am a commercial printer you know...Looking forward to meeting you both.Ross in Tampa25 Oday "Lola"

[soling42]

Not that anybody else noticed from the shot above but thats not the ol' Hunter 25.5 we've grown to love, unless brian's been hard at the teak work and expanded the stern.....extensively. Maybe Steph's shopping for a little more length at the waterline?? Calendar? Hey why not. You can write off all the travel to exotic locations and have an enormous bikini selection too:). I say it's a win, win for everyone. Of course my Kelli will protest but maybe you could do a computer day planner version with a Steph of the day and some sobering shots of Brian in his best electrical hair as a quick key default screen.I can't believe where this thread is going, 13k views. This is what comes from sailors in port too long, gotta love it:)Aloha, Michael

[ulpilotrmh]

I reconize that tatoo.

[r.w.landau]

Try layers. I am not talking bikinis!Two tee shirts, a sweatshirts/s, and something windproof, scarf and a hood, hat whatever.I would not recommend freezing anything off!r.w.landau

[Franklin]

that gets wet and then sucks your heat away from you

[RG]

Okay everybody, we were pushing for 10K and now we are almost at 14K. What is the magic number we have to hit to get a new forum topic? Maybe we could put it under "Ask a Sailor". Simply "Boat Babe".

[Boat Babe]

....how about "Ask Boat Babe" ?? There are plenty of women out there who are prime Boat Babe material. Since its a chilly 40 degrees here in Sunny St. Augustine, Boat Babe is fully clothed today!

[RG]

Kill Joy

[Captain Bob]

All I see is a car. That car might not even be yours, and even if it is, how do we know you did not just take it to the car wash at the Shell station on the corner?We need more proof.

[Donalex]

Yeah!

[JoeD]

I like the Boat Babe Stuff but, She is average at best. What is so special about this? You all need to get a life. Or maybe your own Boat Babe.

[Stu Jackson]

Joe, YOU need to get alife.This is FUN, stay with it.

[Tim McCarty]

Keep 'em coming!

[NautiDuck]

On one hand there is something a bit odd that has developed with a bunch of middle-age sailor guys having online flirting sessions with a very attractive young woman. On the other hand Stef is obviously enjoying herself as are the aforementioned old salts.So, if you don't like this stuff then I'd suggest you skip the threads where these pix are posted. As for those who do enjoy the photos - remember to minimize the screen when the Admiral is nearby!!P.S. Stef, nice Mini!

[Grateful Dad]

I guess people must really hate this... It's just innocent fun to get through the cold winter. Lighten up!

[Ross]

would suit you this week. Temps in the thirty's.

[Boat Babe]

In front of the fireplace.Will you and your Boat Babe be in Miami in Feb for the show?

[chris7319]

I guess Joe's idea of above average would be a 90 lb anorexic with bleach blonde hair, fake boobs, 2 inches of makeup caked on her face, and a IQ of 20.

[Mike8088]

I'm 28, and I like the photos. Talking about teak only keeps my attention so long. Keep them coming.

[r.w.landau]

for the last 5 years. My wife is my Boat Babe. She has a good 25 years on you but she is still my Boat Babe.She is my Boat Babe because of the complex person that she is....Best to you and Brian.r.w.landau

[r.w.landau]

I like boats!:)r.w.landau

[Captain Bob]

But I will tell Rosey you said hello!I tried to weasel in for a few days, but no luck.We are working on a rendevous later in the spring though. Maybe hang out with Susan OC, Chris and Park. We'll just have to see.

[letterman]

I once dated a girl as pretty, with the same bod. Just for one more day would I like to my old flame, in the same pose, on my boat. Seem to me, if Brian took the shot, he has to be thinking "all's well with the world." I hope it lats for him forever.In other words, keep this sucker (the thread) ALIVE.

[NautiDuck]

No pictures of that stupid cat! It's a waste of pixels!!

[Dawntreader22789]

This is a great thread... keep it going.. its great.. to see the weather someplace that is over 0 deg!!Ummm nice weather you have down there boat babe.

[Teepee]

he looks like a nice ole duffer.

[John Nantz]

.... Cats have Servants!

[Landsend]

the chocolate, Because chocolate is toxic to cats and dogs. You need to use your Godiva or your Cadbury's or your Hershey's on a pretty two legged creature.

[Ross]

chocolate is toxic to dogs and cats and it is in large quantities. If you weigh 150 pounds and one piece of chocolate is enough for you then 1/10 of a piece is enough for your fifteen pound dog and it won't harm him. You wouldn't share chocolate piece for piece with a fifteen pound baby human. A little common sense can go a long way in life.

[Tim R.]

I say this with absolutely no seriousness but every time you feed your pet a little bit of "poison" you should take a little bit of arsenic or lead just for laughs ;-)All kidding aside, a friend of mine feeds his dog grapes which are also not good for dogs and his pup is fine. Although without the grapes maybe the dog would have gone onto greatness like solving world peace or curing cancer!Tim R.

[tom]

My daughter is very sad over the loss of her dog Friday. The dog ate a bag of trail mix that was full of raisens. Apparently they are toxic enough to cause kidney failure and even though she took the dog to the vet she died. Apparently one of their friends forgot the bag of trail mix and the dog found the bag and ate it all. Deedee was bad about eating people food whenever she got the chance.

[Ross]

the dog. It is almost like loosing a mamber of the family. Trail mix often has rasins and chocolate in it. Even a large human would be ill after eating an entire bag of trail mix. Dogs will eat anything they can reach but in the wild they don't have access to large amounts of any single food.

[Ross]

you can ignore. It is perfectly safe for you to eat all the chocolate you want. Scientific studies have proven that chocolate is good food for Bikini Babes. ;)

[seadaddler]

Wanted Good WomanMust be able to clean,cook,sew,sail,dig worms and clean fishMust have boat and motorPlease send picture of Boat and Motor

[letterman]

Heck yes I am just kidding. I devour the stuff, then come down in the morning and there is no chocolate, so who can I blame since I live alone? The cats! Now, if I can just figure out which one is drinking my Vodka and Bourbon, there will be hell to pay!!!!

[Joe]

Princes of the lake has thrown the gauntlet has been thrown-let the competition begin.

[NYSail]

That stanchion to the right of you needs to be replaced.....looks a bit bent.Looks like a geat day on the water indeed!! I am sure captain grumpy ain't so grumpy.

[Doug Burton]

If Captain's grumpy it ain't your fault! He should feel like Capt'n Lucky.

[cockneyboy]

Now thats what I call a nice aft. Babe stop tomenting me.xxx

[cockneyboy]

Now she,s losened up where are the pictures

[Gregg18047]

I vote for more Princess!

[SeacretSailor]

We definitely need to hear more from Sinbad too! Wow! ;D His Boater Babe now made my top 10 list of Sailing Dream Girls. Of course the Original Boat Babe still remains in my top 2 list!KB

[Old Salt]

That one Sinbad put in here looks suspiciously like something right out of "Girls Gone Wild" or something taking at Dayton Beach for college break.(Ohhhh... to be 25 again!)Great pictures of yer boat babes, though I think we need to see pictures of them actually on yer boat. We have to be careful to qualify them.

[Danny18925]

Will you tell us what the tattoo is ?Or did you just squeeze the fish too hard ?Danny

[Captain Bob]

You owe me a phone call......Cute suit Steph.

[r.w.landau]

r.w.landau

[NYSail]

You forgot to post the rating for Mary Jane.....she is sweet indeed!

[Tim Welsh]

I'll go back and edit it.

[Tim Welsh]

You know someone might think there are explicit words in the post. What do you think? PJD?

[NYSail]

That should cover it! For pj's sake that is.........

[cockneyboy]

After looking at all these boat babes I dont need a ny mast raiser to make my mast rise up LOL

[cockneyboy]

I want to see her without the bikini she picks LOL

[NYSail]

Take a jump in the snow there cockneyboy......Sound's like a comment a 15 year old boy makes. Must get exciting around your house when the Sears underwear section comes out in the Sunday paper hu......

[NYSail]

Sounds like a great deal!Was that photo doctored up a bit?

[RG]

Looking at all these lucky sailors, now I know why Popeye was squinting. Eyes worn out staring at his boat babe. Wait a minute.........that would be Olive Oil....................never mind.Any man that has a woman that will share this lifestyle is a fortunate man.

[Boat Babe]

Well, I am in San Diego for 7 days, but am locked in a conference room for 14 hours a day! Not fair! I can report that based on the view from my hotel with attached marina, sailboating is much more prevelant on this coast......Kudos to San Diego-ans. Boat Babe, stuck in clothes and stuck on land......how sad.....at least there's wine.

[Ross in Tampa]

Steph is fueling the fire to reach 30k hits. She not far from it. By now, you all are doing final preparations for the Miami show. Looking forward to meeting you both. I do owe you a beer/wine or dinner, just for the online entertainment for the past 6-8 months. I also want to pick your brain about optimizing my power on a boat with no alternator, and the logistics of your next voyage. See you in Miami. Ross in Tampa1979 Oday 25 "lola"

[Mike]

After seeing that bikini, I know why Roger is so jolly.

[Boat Babe]

Me? Add fuel to the fire? I have no idea what you are talking about. I am completely innocent. Looks like the temperatures are going to drop for the boat show......not looking like bikini weather....

[Ross]

and a mink cover-up. ;)

[Waffle]

Boats and bikini... I am in!

[Mac]

site to find all kinds of sailing information. In fact, I find myself checking back at least 3 times aday now to see if any new information has surfaced:) Mac

[ruedi ross]

The eternal thread.

[RG]

Okay, we were all excited when we thought we would get to 10K views and we would see more of Brian. Now we are close to 30K views and we keep asking for a calender. Well, I think Brian gave us our calender pictures between the 1st and last postings.Right click copy / right click paste.This has got to be the best posting of this year. I have thouroughly enjoyed the banter between everyone. It is a shame we all don't slip at the same marina.Brian......you two need to make the rounds to all the boat shows so everyone can pick our brain.Thanks to everyone for giving me another reason to use this site!!!RG

[Buck2796]

Just shows ya what sailors are REALLY all about ! !

[Paul Akers]

I've stayed away from this conversation, but just needed to make a comment about soling42's last comment when I saw it. Here's what I think is a great name (See Title) to rename Brian & Steph's dinghy (Pocket Lint), if they were ever to lose it for good like they almost did on their last Bahamas trip. It all goes along with their boat name, "Empty Pocket".

[Jim Seamans]

Sure wish I was in Miami. We got blasted with rain, sleet, snow, sleet, snow - up to 4 inches of the stuff and we were the lucky ones.Come on springJimS/V Java

[Ross]

grows up. Teach her how to use a stick to beat the boys off.

[Fred]

from my mum, my sisters, my wife and my daughter at age ten, are all rather assertive and self confident. When she's 16 and some bad boy poet with an attitude turns up, I have no idea what will happen, but it will be on her terms.

[r.w.landau]

Know where you are other than Lat&Att.Brian, you need to fix that, with your product!It is a stand alone but don't stop making it better!Hope the Miami show is good to you both!I have to say that boat babe was the only one that knew what my avatar was!Best to you both and may Miami be good for you!r.w.landau

[r.w.landau]

It is a boater specific product. You guys have the world ahead of you. Brian just because you love the Boat Babe and boats, doesn't mean your tech ability should stop on boats.Great Idea, there are more ideas that will keep you sailing.Best to you both,r.w.landau

[Honeyman]

consider marketing his swim platform/ladder/rudder assembly concept. Many of the small Hunters (25-27) could benefit from that retrofit.

[Ross in Tampa]

Steph and Brian,I would put it on my boat too. The convenience of the swim platform, and the beefed up rudder assembly, I am there. Unfortunately, would require quite a bit of beefing up the transom on the boat.See you all this weekend.Ross in Tampa1979 Oday 25 "Lola"

[Jim Seamans]

I just got my copy of Victoria's Secret Swim 2007 catalog. You have a lot of swim suits to buy.JimS/V Java

[seadaddler]

I tried to order a new swim suit for my wife and they told me they're all out of stock because some women from florida bought every last one.

[Ross]

came in. Buy a full coverage one piece and post that pic. ;)

[Ross]

gift is in the unwraping of the package. Apples are fine but apple pie is apples dressed for a party. ;)

[Ross]

lies beneath but some careful exploration in a quiet cove would certainly be a pleasant diversion.A book of verse beneath the bougha loaf of bread, a jug of wineand thou beside me singing inthe wilderness. Were paradise enow

[Don S/V ILLusion]

sounds like some of you never saw a girl before.

[Ross]

of looking! ;)

[RG]

Yea for the south!!!!!

[Mulf]

Workbench! I'm jealous.

[RG]

Hey Brian, have you ever considered a book to capture your travels? There is a web site I found this past October that makes printing your own book easy. I am not advertising for them in any way. I wanted to capture a story my Mom used to tell so it would be recorded for my grandchildren and to give to my Mom as a Christmas gift. I found an illustrator and well, the book was published and printed. It was the best thing I ever did. I paid just under $30 each for a book that is hard bound, library quality with great colors and graphics. You could creat a living memory for the two of you and even put together cruising guides and tips for some of us.Just a thought.I can imagine you two are busy with your new venture (solar stik), but a few minute at a time and before you know it you are imortal for as long as the book survives. Some of us would enjoy it.Take a look at the site:blurbdotcom.

[Magothy Boy]

Hey Steph:I agree with ross here. I beautiful lady in a nicely fitting one-piece suit is a fine sight to behold. I bet that you would be an absolute knockout in one. Ross is on target, the gift is in the unwrapping! Just my 2 cents,Kevin

[caguy]

I wanted to see what piece was missing!*666

[Ross in Tampa]

Greetings all,Let me just say, Miami was great. Brian and Steph, it was great to finally meet you both. Give me a call when you're in the area. I still owe you a beer, and a grouper sandwich. The calendar and book project sounds like a sure winner.Wouldn't you have liked to been the Dominoes pizza guy that night at the Lats and Att's party. Woo Hoo!!! Eric Stone rocked the house. But, it's back to reality now, sitting at my desk, it was 37 degrees in Tampa this morning. Isn't Florida great!!!Ross in Tampa1979 Oday 25 "Lola"

[Ross]

Steph, You are one beautiful woman.

[letterman]

There is the Boat Babe walking past the rarest of rare sea creatures...the Black Octopus!! And she didn't even notice!!!

[NautiDuck]

The octopus was stumped.

[r.w.landau]

or is h2o someone here that I missed?r.w.landau

[Captain Bob]

The guy that is in it now should be heading back north next month.R.W., it is not Brian's new handle, just another handle.I have two, Captain Bob at this computer, and ConchyJoe at another....

[r.w.landau]

two together!I like seeing my kids with their spouse units.... It was good to see you and your spouse unit together!r.w.landau

[David S.]

Hey Cap'n Bob, we swam, skied and camped on Keowee 8 straight years, great lake. Now the kids are grown, wife and I want to relax and do some sailing.I will need a good off load ramp as my keel boat water line sets about 4 feet above the tarmack. Is there a good ramp at the south end and will the sail boat club allow visitors to tieup for a few minutes?I think Steph would look nice in a one piece suit, right Magothy BoyDavid S

[letterman]

Nice picture of the boat babe...but what is that in the background? It looks familiar...someplace in Florida if I recall from my trip there...just can't place it.

[48dodge]

Just around the corner from where I went to school (Clemson).

[Captain Bob]

The whole area, despite the fact I graduated from FSU, :-) is a great place. The climate is very nice, even in the late summer. Unfortunately, Keowee does not have ocean access.... Our plan is to sell the Atlanta house, and buy on the water between Oriental NC, and Charleston SC, and keep the lakehouse for the kids.

[RG]

I know I am old and slow but, if you take off the top doesn't the bottom become a one piece?I am glad this thread came back to life. How long can we go?

[ConchyJoe]

[RG]

must........keep........thread.........active..... .....can't ...........let.........die.....................wan t...............see...................pictures.... ..even ................if..............only.............. ..Brian...........................

[Peter]

at South Beach, its a bikini bottom (oh damn, do I have to?) and topless! No more than that!

[RG]

Wow. I almost didn't recognize Brian in that last photo. He looks like he has dropped a little weight!!!

[RAD]

What was the final viewing # before reset? Phil?

[Danny18925]

To integrating a windvane.........mount.Danny

[Captain Bob]

I can see him adding it to the list, if it is not already there....

[soling42]

The picture shows Brian the fabrication master....ahh-so. I see the need for a young asian apprentice for the solar stik kung foo master to humbly explain: "There is much to learn until you too can build such a fine support with eyes closed and one hand in pocket while walking on water....." Ahhh the zen of fabrication and electrons.

[Ross in Tampa]

The photo is actually Brian installing the newest Folding Fin Rocket Launcher on the newest United States Navy Alternative Fuel Submarine Hunting Destroyer.Have a great weekend everybody...

[Ross in Tampa]

With as much Pizza and Beer as he drank at the Lat's and Att's Party, he should need a bigger dinghy. Just kidding Brian, Must be all that fresh air and exercise...

[RG]

Okay guys, it is sad but true. This thread has died and it can only be attributed to one thing....................we do not care to continue the thread when it is just us guys responding and there ain't no Boat Babes chiming in. Face it, we bore even ourselves. And, we are not that pretty. Sorry Brian, but the truth can hurt sometimes. You are a nice looking guy but you are no Boat Babe.

[Old Salt]

C'mon. You must have a boat babe that once graced your boat, right?Doesn't even have to be the admiral, it can be a neice, freind, etc etc.Only rule is its gotta be your picture and boats, no internet photo's

[NautiDuck]

but you'd want her to be real careful with that hook!! ;-)

[Rich Stidger]

nm

[soling42]

Not much help onboard, she won't be talkin' back and "wood" make a fine flotation device if the boat goes down. "Abandon ship! I get the figurehead". Uh, Is there a "Live girls" stipulation for a boat babe instead of pinocchio's hot gal with the chain around her ankle? I guess the thread has about run its course. It was fun.

[Terry Cox]

eye, but what did you do to her, pat her derriere? :) She has a bit of a sour look on her face.Just kidding!Terry

[Jim P.]

...whatever happened to the final post that was promised from last year's Bahama trip? I think that I remember that a final "odds and ends" installment was coming, with some details and pictures that didn't make it into the final "Cruizin in a 25.5" trip installment because time ran out.Am I mistaken?

[Captain Bob]

http://www.sailboatowners.com/upload/menu.tpl?fno=17And change the boat drop down to 25.5 and it will give you all the articles, including the last, as well as a peek inside....

[Paul Akers]

...looks a bit phony to me. How high can she push 'em. :) And look at the length of her abs (for lack of a better term!). *pop They must have the mannequin chained by the foot for a reason!But, I guess, beggars can't be choosers!!! I'm satified with who I got!

[RG]

I was looking at the photo logs and reviewing some of the posting from Brian about their cruises in EP and I noticed something very strange. When they first started posting pictures it was from "Brian and Steph" and then it suddenly changed to "Steph and Brian" Wow, back seat. Coincidence? You decide.Nice pictures Brian. I always love to go back and look at the things you two have been able to do, although it is with great envy.

[Lou 14643]

in drag?

[Paul Akers]

...Don Knotts to me.

you are absolutely right on the money!!! If that isn't Jimmy Carter...

Update time:#1. Whaddya' mean this thread's dyin'??? 2#. I am on the road... currently in Deltaville, VA. (lot's of sailboats, but NO internet here) #3. ...yeah, I know about the name change... What can I say?? I got trumped by the "Boat Babe" with readers... so I had to pay some homage and take the "second chair"...#4. I never made the final post... it got lost amid the Solar Stikking chaos.#5. ...Steph is in S.C. today, and will be making a triumphant return to St. Aug. tonight... I'll be back to FL on Sunday.#6. Ok, I've done a few of the installs... but I am taking GREAT time and effort to make sure that a Solar Stik installation can be done without me present. This trip up the eastern seaboard was to stop in and meet with a few new "installation stations" and go over the procedures. #7 ...WHOA! ...now she's definately been in the sun a bit too long!#8. ...anybody need anything from VA while I am here?and lastly, Ross is correct... that picture is of me installing the latest technology in coastal missile defense systems aboard a documented sailboat for use in the Bahamas.

This is the only thread I usually check daily so Puleez let me defend my humble observation on "the thread becoming played out". See post #270. My eyes still hurt, shocking/surreal/ouchie. Wooden girls, and Don Knotts mother. What's a guy to do but throw down the gauntlet and challenge all sailors to go sailing and get some(tactful) shots of their real first mates while onboard a real sailboat. IMHO it doesn't have to be glamerous just follow the early lead, going out on the water with real mates, new/old pics of anywhere you sail.It's a sacrifice but for the sake of Carters grandma never becoming a "boat babe" I'll go sailing this weekend and try to get a couple of new pics. The U.S. weather is good in the SE from Brownsville Tx, around the Keys to Charleston Sc and beyond. Soooooo maybe somebody/anybody is sailing with a camera???. There are guys still snowed in who need your help here. There could be long term effects when a frozen sailor thinks Milton Burrell in drag is a typical quality first mate:) .....Must redeem the thread and break the (very)ugly spiral*o.......Blinded by the fright....Leave it to our good friend George to shock us back on topic. Tens of thousands of views and only 1/2doz guys post pics of their pride and joy(no, not the boat!..well maybe with mate). Don't be so reluctant to follow Brian and Stephs exellent example capn'.Michael

Captain Bob, have I pegged it? Last time I was there was 1993, but it sure looks familar.

[tom]

They can function as autopilots,cooks and general boatkeepers and gofers. Then provide "special services" when the sailing gets slow. Some of these boatbabes look a little newer than mine but probably can't cook as well. The newer boatbabes probably require more "upkeep" and I'm getting older too.

[Ctskip]

we call them eye candy. High maintenance too! Like my Mom used to say about my Dad, "I don't care where he gets his appetite, as long as he comes to eat". Aint it the truth! Thanks all for sharing! Keep it up, Ctskip

[Gregg18047]

Don't worry about the material to dollar ratio - it's money well spent!

[Terry Cox]

aboard I treat her like the admiral she is. I'm the chief cook, bottle washer, trimmer, etc., which I enjoy doing. Arthritis (mild) limits what she can do, but I'm happiest when she is aboard sharing in the sailing experience. Terry

[r.w.landau]

As much as I like sailing alone, it sure is nice when the admirable is on board!I do all that stuff when I am alone so I might as well do it with the her on board. I have to say the Admirable does more than her share now. The only problem I have is that meals must be on a schedule instead of eating when I am hungry. Now, I eat when it is time. I am about 30# ok, 39# over weight, but I am also in hope of adding new activity to help the weight. My problem is I just like to eat so when it is there, I eat. Ok, so I am going on and on but I know, boat Babes like buff guys!So, We like the Boat Babe look,we should do the same for them.Wow this might hurt!r.w.landau

[Ross]

ground hog and wishing him ill. Well I am able to report that this morning on Maryland route 543 approximately 1/2 mile north of MD route 22 said ground hog was struck and killed by a motor vehicle. There were no witnesses. His body was discovered by a passing motorist and reported to the police. There seemed to be cheering in the background upon receiving the report. ;D

[r.w.landau]

The wicked groundhog is dead! (sung to the Wizard of OZ, the wicked witch is dead). I brought the boat home today to start the spring work. The weather in our area has broken up and is cool and rainy right now but spring is in the air! Thanks for that Groundhog report!It must be true.r.w.

[Terry Cox]

report, would you please provide me with a copy of the autopsy report that shows it was in fact Punxsutawney Phil's DNA? Lots of imitation groundhogs out there and I just want to avoid starting any false rumors. :)TerryP.S. Besides, what was he doing in Maryland, he's from Pennsylvania?

[Ross]

THE ground hog. It may have been a close cousin or possibly an heir apparent. Do you know if paw prints are on file for a positive ID? I don't think a post mortem will be conducted as I think I heard some remark that the hounds eat tonight.

[Ross]

in a bikini! :D

[Captain Bob]

Actually a couple of different spots.The one where we suddenly determined that there was not a boat hook in the port forward locker is Marina Cay.The other is where the (accept no substitutes!) cheesburger was really eaten in paradise.

[carina]

I can't get any attention to my sailboat questions!

[Chuck R]

But now I forgot what it was....??

[Jim Seamans]

the year 2025. Are those boat babes born yet? :)Jim

[letterman]

Does anyone ever use those seats in the back? We4 see boats at the boat show with them, but assume no one ever uses them.

[seadaddler]

They are the best seats in the boat and all our friendslove them. Nick

[ConchyJoe]

She is not wearing a bathing suit....Cute car though.

[Guest]

That looks like Loggerhead Key behind you. Beautiful water.

[NautiDuck]

You are a lucky man. Get her a dust mask.

[Tim R.]

She has a nice one but it was hot that day and it was raw teak she was sanding. You should see her when we are stripping the bottom. Full hasmat head to toe. Very Sexy!Tim R.

[Dave5031]

more beautiful than a woman with coveralls and bottom paint in her hair.Dave

[Ross]

her hair. ;D

[Dave5031]

Yeah, must've been a wilder party than I remembered :)Dave

[Jack W -2005 H 36]

Somebody post a babe picture!C'mon Brian !

[Tom S]

The picture of your boat has me totally perplexed *oAm I the only one that is looking at this picture and see something very wrong or Odd?? Before anyone scrolls below take a look at the picture and see if you see anything odd -- Answer below ........'''''''''''''Ok . It looks like the wheel and the helm is faced backwards . At least the way I am looking at it. Unless this is a very unique sailboat most Companionways are forward on the boat. Here it looks like the wheel is on the opposite side of the helm right next to the companionway.Optical illusion? Odd Boat? Magic? Huge Center cockpit boat with large aft cabin with forward facing companionway???

[Gregg]

The wife wouldn't let me do it. I have to rope it and yank it out of the pool ,and throw it on the lawn. Th dog did go after it, but was too slow or nice to kill it. If I would have the gun in hand, and I was a better shot, I would have had it hanging before the wife got out there. As it is, this was a new pool, and I am a crappy shot, I went for the grabbing it and throwing it. I will tell you that if this year I get one in the pool, I will have a great feast. Email me and I will invite or ship. I am a deer and pheasant hunter, but if that is all I had to live on, I would be a lot thinner and probably dead.......... Thank God for the grocery store, and the butcher shop, so I can buy freash meat.As soon as I have a babe shot, I will submit.Gregg

[Peter Suah]

Spring is in the air. That means dry weather, low lake levels, gator mating season and a chance you'll come home from work and find a new tenant:http://www.nbc4.tv/news/10703605/detail.htmlActually, gators rarely get into pools because most are screened in, but there's always that chance...PeterH23 "Raven"

[tom]

First prime babes then older babes then babies and children ,deer and now links to alligator photos. Is this thread in it's death throes or what?? Next photos of turtles and pond scum???

[tom]

You should have put the turtle in a bikini form Victoria's Secret!!!

[tom]

Me and My Boat Babe aka Janie are going to spend a couple of weeks on vacation starting this weekend. We plan to spend much of that time on the boat. I know a little about the gators. There are a lot in the upper end of Mobile Bay and we've visited them in our kayaks. It feels a lot more personal in a kayak as compared to a 32' sailboat. We saw several motoring up the Tenn-tom. the first big one my boat babe who was on deck advised me to change course cause I was heading straight for a "big log". well the "Big Log" swam across the river and posed for a few photos.  There are a few gators on Wheeler lake. The ones that we have seen were mostly small but we saw one that was about 9'. They are mostly up in the creeks that flow into the lake. I can't decide to go up river or down. The smallmouth bass are supposed to be biting on Pickwick. (Smallmouth aren't as tasty as Tuna but they taste pretty good.) But we would kinda like to see the river just below Chattanooga where it goes through a canyon. I've flown over it and it is pretty from the air. Saturday there are some sailboat races and a social that we'll probably attend. After that it's anybodies guess where we'll be Sunday night. But I'll bet my boat babe will keep me warm at night.

[PrincessoftheLake]

I'd be happy to post on another board if I am past the age limits of this board.;{

[Hugh4753]

Princess you keep posting those pictures.

[RG]

If you are under 30 then you are not even close to perfection, and that is all I have to say about that.

[grigs]

I agree with Tom and Hugh

[grigs]

RG and Hugh

[Scott B]

There's wine and finer wine..... its just gets better with age!! ;)

[NautiDuck]

Women are like wine, they improve over time, ever more delicious.On the other hand, a naughty young wine is great too! ;-)

[Gregg]

over 30.... Who cares, as long as you are a boat babe there shouldn't be an issue. I am over 30 , and so is my boat babe, and I am totally happy with that. The younger women are grrreat to look at, as are the older ones. I say if you have it......flaunt it. More bikinis, and where are the Victoria Secrets we were promised????

[48dodge]

Apples and WineWomen are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men do not want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take the apples from the ground that are not as good, but easy. The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they are amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree. Now Men.... Men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes, and it is up to women to stomp the $%#& out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

[Jack W -2005 H 36]

But shouldn't it say "Nauti-Wine"!? :{

[tom]

But get real. Most guys given a choice of a 20 or 30 something woman or a 40 or 50 something woman would pick the younger woman. Most women given the choice of a younger man with six pack abs or some old salty dog with bad breath and a beer belly would choose the younger man. I love my wife and have no intentions of changing first mates. But if I was starting over with a new woman I'd go for someone younger....probably have to settle for someone older. As always with such things having a personality and a brain is more important than T and A...but wow P and B with T and A now we are talking. Now if I can just get rid of this beer belly and bad breath...light beer and breath mints?? Princess you are younger than me or my wife and look good. Keep posting!!! And for the record though she trys to be discret I've noticed my wife enjoying looking at younger men.

[Ctskip]

That is a really great one. I do hope you don't mind but I copied and pasted it so I can refer to it now and again. Thanks for the laugh. Keep it up, Ctskip

[Ctskip]

about my Dad, " I don't care where he gets his appetite ,as long as he comes home for dinner"  Keep it up, Ctskip

[grigs]

I have to think that Princess is driving this thread at this point. Lets see ............ Post from Princess or ........ remark from Tom? Now thats a Tuff one. I,ll wait for the post.  By the way , my first mate has me by a couple of years, she must have been looking for the 6pk. abs but settled for me instead.  We should all thank Tom for jump starting the thread.

[PrincessoftheLake]

You sure know how to make an old gal feel better. Just for the record, Captn Grumpy is 61 but does NOT have a beer belly. Generally, I find a more mature man to be more interesting but on the other hand, I have been known to sneak a peek myself at some six pack abs...I love the apples and wine posting. Thanks for the laugh!

[48dodge]

My wife just about has me crushed into something suitable for dinner. 5-year anniversary today! I tell her it's felt like five minutes...under water.

[newsailor06]

Five years or five minutes under water?..wait until you get to thirty years. We have our 30th in September this year. We are still trying to decide if we were meant for each other.Jack W....YIKES!

[Fred Ficarra]

I took my boat babe to the Caribbean on our boat just to show her off! Yep, a 10! Now I can't find a picture of her to post because they are ALL of her naked! *cry Yes, I asked her for permission. No such luck! *cry *cry

[Dave5031]

It's always easier to ask forgiveness than permissionDave

[Terry Cox]

It was a blind date (another story) and love at first sight for the both of us. She has become the love of my life...always has and always will be.Terry

[tom]

If we are telling tales without submitting evidence my wife looks just like Sophia Loren when she made "Boy on a Dolphin" and might I add that we dance together like Fred and Ginger. When we swim it's like the old Tarzan and Jane movies...the alligators leave the water for their own safety and sharks head for deeper waters. You'll have to take my word for all of this because the camera hasn't been working lately. I think that it got wet while we were circumnavigating in a Macgregor 25 with a 1 hp Seagull outboard for an engine.

[Captain Bob]

We have seen your car naked. We have seen your boat naked. We have seen you half naked.What is her problem? ;-)

[48dodge]

Stomp them flat first and they won't roll away!

[seadaddler]

So that's how you catch those big Fish??? ermen???No not the wine too.

[Liam]

Hey Ross,What a coincidence... I have also been married for 40 years.24 years the first time, 10 years the second time, and 6 years currently.Does that count?All three of my wives are sailors, they all went cruising with me, and we are still all really good friends.Sometimes all three of them get together for lunch. I wonder what they talk about???

[Peter]

I've only been married once. Same woman for 33 years. When she gets together for lunch with herself, I wonder what she talks about? Probably about the sailing I tell her "I have to do". (She doesn't sail.)

[Ross]

in '58 She died in '65. Married Nancy in '67. Have a son that turned 48 this year. Been married all my life seems like.;D

[Ross]

You will be much more comfortable when you start wet sanding.

[Dan Johnson]

Nice Smurf job...LOL!!!

[Waffle]

I think there is a diver down there looking for them...

[Bob]

When are we going to see "more" of you?? :)
