Smoke on the Boat

[philip]

Usually smoke is the last thing one wants to see on a boat, but I find if I keep the fire confined to a small bowl it's very pleasant, especially after a long day of drifting around.
I haven't been able to get on the internet a lot lately.

This was my home for most of last week.

Happy puffing, everyone. ::

Wow Philip, what a view to wake up to. What a great picture.

 

[rickpal14]

Wow!!! That looks like pure bliss Phillip! I am envious!

 

[oklansas]

If that is your home, I don't think intermittent internet is that much of an issuee.

Good to see you Philip! The boat looks like a beauty. Too bad there arent too many good bodies of water around here to take a boat. Been a long time since I have been on one.

 

[puffy]

That's really beautiful..Looks like a great place to relax.

 

[bubblehead33]

Sounds like a pretty great life Philip!

 

[judcole]

Good to see you back with us, Phillip.

"The Good Life!"

Ahoy Philip! Glad to see everything is ship shape. Enjoy your summer on the water.

Philip ~ Great ship, what size? I have a 23' San Juan that has been in drydock for 2 years, you just pushed me to get moving!

Great boat. I hope to own one in the future. Living aboard would be great but that's not going to happen any time soon

Phil,
Where are you sailing out of??? I'm on Lake Champlain in Vermont on a Sabre 36.

What is she, a Cabo Rico??

Jealous, Thanks for the picture.

 

[philip]

Thanks, everyone.
It's all good, but not always easy. The reason I'm back in port now is to fix a broken water pipe. I's not fun out there for long without water.
@ plateauguy - It's a Westsail 32.

@ Rich - I keep the boat in Brownsville which is across the sound from Seattle. Anywhere in Puget Sound is home to me.

@ Dervis - You're welcome. I'll post some more when I get the chance.

A pipe in that situation would be pure bliss.

 

[gwtwdbss]

That really looks like a lot of fun Phillip! Hope ya can get the pipe fixed and get back out soon!

Nice sail boat ::

The second happiest day in my life was when I bought a boat. The happiest was when I sold it. :rofl:
I jest. There are people made for boating, but I discovered after one year that I wasn't one of them.

Philip, you are living the dream. I spent a week 2 summers ago sailing the San Juans and got hooked. A week is way too short of a time for the San Juans. The wife and I are looking at purchasing a Pacific Seacraft Dana 24; a spendy but seaworthy little boat that we can trailer as I am not fond of paying slip fees.

Your boat is a real beauty! W.I.B. Crealock designed both the Westsail 32 and the Dana 24 if my memory serves.

Don't sailors smoke folded flake tobacco in an upside-down pipe?
