I'm checking under the couch cushions for loose change. Where did I leave that other $8million?

What happened to "Orange I"?

Speaking of orange, did you ever notice that there is not a singe word that rhymes with the word "orange"?

Maybe they will loan it to us for the Miami-Nassau race.

We were racing in Marseille at the ISAF Worlds, when out of a marina comes Orange. They sailed by and buzzed the fleet. We tried to pace them before our start, in about 17-20kts, we were crankin', or so we thought. They blew by us like we were standing still. On deck, there was a **** party going on, with severs dressed in ties,h'ouredouves!!! , and people walking around like the boat was not even moving. The sheer size of the boat was incredible!

In the pic the Women were lining up for a start on Starboard. I think I heard a few of them trying to call for their rights!!! grin laugh

Actuall, Orange was plenty clear of the start. It is th size and perspective of the pic that makes it cool.

Hey, a lot of posters can't spell in English, so I wouldn't get on anyone for misspelling a foreign language. Besides who has an "œ" on their keyboard? grin

Try the F boat forum there are alot of people who care more about spellin than sailin laugh

If that was all i misspelled \, man i dun gud.

Speaking of orange, did you ever notice that there is not a singe word that rhymes with the word "orange"?

hard to find a single word but if you need to finish a poem you can use more than one work like:

Color Range

There must be something better than this.

"Knock, knock" "Who's there?" "Banana" "Banana who?"

"Knock, knock" "Who's there?" "Banana" "Banana who!?"

"Knock, knock" "Who's there?" "Banana" "Banana who!!?"

"Knock, knock" "Who's there?" "Orange" "Orange who?" "Orange you glad I didn't say Banana?"

How about "Door Hinge"? I guess it depends on how you say it.

What about "Florence"?

Anyway, I have an option on an even faster trimaran.
The guy said it would come available after Feb-10 and that it only sailed two races, he even threw in "some kiwis"?
I asked for apples instead but he insisted.
He only wanted $100 for it!
