The Adventure 24 trimaran zipping around the harbor.
Is that you Mark?

Discover Your Adventure...

Adventure Trimarans are the fastest adventure sailing canoes on the planet.
Designed for coastal cruising, adventure races, expeditions, day sailing, or
getting a tan on the lake, they are part sailing outrigger canoe, part beach
catamaran, part sea kayak, and part trimaran sailboat. Completely Eco-friendly,
this ultra light, high-tech, car-top boat is purpose designed to sail and paddle
faster then the wind speed, and is equally adept at winning races, going camping,
or just hanging out on the lake. In fact, it's perfect for father and son adventures.
It's Variable Rig design makes it easy to handle for any ability and you can rig it
any way you want.

The Issue: Boats that are fast enough to be really fun usually require an expert sailor,
and cost a fortune.

The Solution: Adventure Trimarans offer high speed thrills on a wide, stable platform
that any beginner can handle. You will stay drier and warmer, and when the wind dies,
the boat is designed to paddle home, with comfortable seats exactly where you need
them, in the middle of the boat.

Sail, sail, as fast as you can
You can't catch me, I'm the trimaran man

Sailing Photo Of The Day.

, ,

The Dingle Dolphin says hello to a 420.
Hey pal, do have any fish?

Everyone loves the king of the sea,
Ever so kind and gentle is he,
Tricks he will do when children appear,
And how they laugh when he’s near!

They call him Fungi, Fungi, faster than lightning,
No-one you see, is smarter than he,
And we know Fungi, lives in a world full of wonder,
Flying there-under, under the sea!

This wild photo is from Sail.ie. Dear guy who writes that blog,
could you enable comments? I keep getting bounced out.

Tillerman turn your eyes away, it's a trimaran. Oh the horror!
Those freaking Swedes, they gave us those crazy kanoter,
Absolute vodka, and now the Seacart 30. My Danish
friend says they're all nuts. I say, "I'll have the meatballs
but hold the Abba!"

Beaches in New York City? Get outta here.

Philippe's boat catches a net. Where's da fish bra?

Lasers, Lasers, Lasers and more Lasers. Always Lasers.....
hold the fort. Bat Mite it appears we have to battle Shower
Curtain Guy!

Did you know that Adam is a Parrothead? Who'd a thunk it?

The Tillerman's hijo loves his rubber ducky.

Bra drag i Skagen. It's in Swedish, let's just say, "Oops!"

Fix that motherboard, I want some more fish.


WetAss brings us some more tidbits:

  • Day 88, what will I do for the next 912 days.
  • Forgive me for not being a Math major, but I think that 8 guys and a girl = trouble.

Hey Ma, I've Got My 15 Minutes Of Fame On Sailing Anarchy.

, ,

Thank you Tim, I gladly accept my can of Campbell's soup.
And yes, Wahines and fish = yummy!!!!!!!

CUIDADO: Wahines, fish and drinks = trouble.
DANGER Will Robinson: Wives looking at blogs with wahines can result in an early
death. Remember to clear your history.

Kudos to the other cans of soup: Mr. Boat and Craig. Oops, I almost forgot the other
other cans of soup: Everest and Adventure Man.

Sake On The Beach.

, ,

The elderly gentleman pulled his Force 5 out of his garage and took it down
to the beach where he beat the pants off of the young upstarts with their fancy
shiny new Lasers. Afterwards he sat contentedly drinking sake on the beach
while a fresh breeze from the west blew his hair like the tell-tales of his old sail.

For Puffy: Saketini
2 1/2 oz gin
1 1/2 tsp sake
1 cocktail olive
In a mixing glass half-filled with ice cubes, combine the gin or vodka with the sake.
Stir well. Strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with the olive

Photographic Proof That A Force 5 Is Not A Sunfish.

, ,

A Sunfish and Force 5 hanging out at the beach drinking Mai Tais after a
hard day of sailing.

Puffy, both boats were built by AMF. But as you can see from the photo,
old as it is, there is a clear difference between them. The Tillerman wouldn't be
caught dead in a Force 5, but for some unknown reason he loves the goofy
lateen rigged Sunfish. I think it stems from his many trips to Club Med.

Mai Tai (Pineapple variation)

  • 1 ounce light rum
  • 1/2 ounce triple sec
  • 1/4 ounce Rose's lime juice
  • 1 1/2 ounces pineapple juice
  • 1 1/2 ounces orange juice
  • 1 dash of Grenadine
  • 1/2 ounce dark rum

Shake all but the dark rum with cracked ice.
Strain into old-fashioned glass.
Top with dark rum.
Garnish with a Maraschino Cherry
