AH>        Season's Greetings Bob,
AH>        CAPTAIN'S LOG                   Vessel: SV Freestyle
AH>        Friday, January 17, 1997
AH>        Port: Granville Island
  >        Destination: Snug Cove
AH>09:00   Park land vehicle at Granville Island and step aboard
  >        Freestyle for a 3 hour cruise to Snug Cove.  Crew consists
  >        of one frail, subservient-looking woman.
  >        Weather conditions are perfect for this time of year in
  >        Vancouver - dark skies, rain, thin fog, and 5-6 knots of
  >        wind.
        What is the incredable hulk doing with one frail woman ?
AH>09:15   Perfect time for casting off.  I expect to head out
  >        against the tide and on a dead run for the next 10 miles.
  >        I command crew to cast off the bow line and she commences
  >        to complain of sea sickness.
        What did you do for 15 minutes ?  A 15 minute quicky with the
        frail woman ?
 AH>09:20   I slap crew hard and snug down  Freestyle.
        Was it good for you ?
AH>09:30   I return from the Quarterdeck Chandlery with "Queez-Away"
  >        wrist bands and give to crew.
        Hmmmmmmmmmm,  not a good start to the voyage :-(
AH>09:45   Cast off and underway.  We wave to Coast Guard station as
  >        we motor past.
AH>10:00   Command crew to take helm in order that I may hoist the
  >        sails.  I laugh as she comes to the helm.  I send her to
  >        mid-ships and command her to raise the main.  She requests
  >        that I head to wind.  I engage autopilot and slap crew.
        Why do you laugh as she comes to the helm .... anything you
        wanna tell me ?
AH>10:30   Running wing-on-wing at 5-6 knots.  The sails are full and
  >        so are the crew's breasts.  I engage autopilot then beat
  >        and rape crew.
        Again ... gesh that testostrone in your bod must be at the full
        mark :^)
AH>11:00   Nothing to report.
AH>12:00   Nothing to report.
AH>13:00   Approaching Snug Cove.  Beat crew one last time before
  >        making port.
AH>13:30   Snug down at public wharf and command crew to cook.
AH>14:00   Chili con Tofu is served but slightly tepid.  Hold crew's
  >        hand over propane burner.  Deep-six pot of chili and
  >        command crew to make proper pot.
        hMMMMMMMMM ... WWhat did you deep six ?
AH>15:00   Piping hot chili con tofu is served.
AH>15:15   Chili devoured.  Still hungry.  Command crew to produce
  >        sandwiches.  Crew does not comply.  Beat crew unconscious
  >        and step off Freestyle to take in the local scenery.
AH>15:30   Return to Freestyle and catch crew on VHF radio.  Switch
  >        off DC supply and eat crew.
        Like I said one horny dude we got here :-)
AH>15:45   Cast off shorthanded.
AH>16:00   Winds pick up to 15 knots.  Decide to furl foresail but
  >        drum jammed.  Reef the main, and foresail blows.  Drop
  >        foresail and bring out storm gib.  Tack on genny is jammed
  >        and cannot be removed.  Put storm gib away and stuff genny
  >        down forepeak hatch.
        This is not good  and .... especially after all that chile  :-)
AH>16:15   Drop all sails and switch to auxilliary power.
AH>16:30   Darkness looming and nobody on board to beat.
