We call this trick, cleaning house:

 

 

 

 

Yes Children, the much anticipated day has arrived: 29-Dec-2007, another pic of us published in the Toronto Star.  Yawn. For my multitude of fans, for today and today only I will be autographing copies for only half price.  Tomorrow it goes back up to full price. Below is the text and pic from the Star, for those of you who are too short sighted and without enough vision to realize that this issue will one day be so incredibly valuabe as we become even more famous when we eventually move off the boat and into a shoe (and I grow hair down to my shoulders).

 

 

It just doesn't get anymore fun than this!

 

   

 

  

 

 

The Toronto Marine Police Unit claimed that they were merely testing the newest winter fashions in Total Immersion Suits, but we know better: They arrested Santa for several violations including not wearing a parachute and illegally pumping out his head while flying over Port Credit Harbour Marina.  A special thanks goes out to the good citizens of “B” Dock for reporting Santa to the police!

 

 

 

Now this is a real Boat Toy. Picture something like this hanging from your davits:

So what does a Blogger do when he’s not in the mood for Blogging?  He becomes a Bloggee.  Or a Bloggie.  Or whatever the word is for a Blog Reader.  Bloggite?  Anyway, I read other people’s Blogs. And what I like to read these days are the current Blogs of people who are motoring/sailing down the ICW today, right now, this minute, all traveling through roughly the same area. These are the people who are experiencing today what we hope to eventually participate in, the annual Snow Bird migration south along the ICW.

Yo, Blogging Dudes, Living Aboard Magazine has a Canadian distribution of five copies.  I bought four of them and that last one with my “SILLY” article in it is still sitting there on the newsstand, waiting for someone to buy it.  Until one of you does, I ain’t blogging another word!

Okay Bloggers, Liveaboards and Liveaboard Wannabees: it's official, my  "SILLY" blog entry made it into "Living Aboard" magazine's September/October issue.  Page 51 and where anything I write belongs, in the "Off the Chart" section! And while you can read it here, GO OUT AND BUY A COPY!!  I'll even sign your copy so that you can get it framed and hung up on the ceiling above your bed, where you can stare at it when going to sleep at night and dream about living aboard!  That's where I'd hang one of my 127 copies, too, except that glue doesn't stick very well to mold and anyway, it would probably annoy the spiders; if you live on a boat, you really don't want to get those things mad at you. (The Sea-Wife points out that you don't necessarily need my signature on your copy in order to have the article framed and hung above your bed, but I say that you don't necessarily need the article in order to have my signature framed and hung above your bed, either, so once again she makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Hey, they do keep that vberth warm in the winter.)
