Santa bring me a cat for Christmas

[QB2]

Santa I've been good, domesticated even,

 

I put out the garbage, mow the lawn, peel veges and help cook, do the dishes and take the missus shopping,which should earn me gold bonus points.

 

You see I am still in boatless withdrawal mode after seeing my cat disappear into the distance.  One part of me was keen for a change, while the other side said NOOOOOO!

 

So i find myself daily knotting ropes, tightening shackles and sorting fittings, silicon spray and even stirring axle grease while scouring the For Sales on ebay and Gumtree.

 

As everything is either too big a handful for little old 80 kilo me, too new and hideously expensive beyond my meager resources, located beyond the black stump in outer khazakhstan Perth, Vicwegia, Tassie or SouthOz or just plain old, outdated and appallingly neglected, can you check your maritime division warehouse and see if you can find me a recent Hobie 16 or Nacra 4,5 or 6 the owner has let sit unused in their yard and now just wants gone.

 

i am over having the only cat of its type at club sailing and now want to join a fleet I can pace myself against, Please don't send me to the monohulls as punishment.

 

Its not too much to ask is it to shut me up?  i promise to be good in 2014 and stay away from boat porn sites like Boatpoint, Sailing Anarchy, and leering at those elite capitalist B%$##@'s in A class and F18 racing.

If it were up to me I would ask santa to send you a infusion or a DNA, just so you could eat your words!

 

good luck with you xmas wishes buddy

the one major regret has been not taking up an invitation to get into A class back in the 80's when the nationals were on lake macquarie. Those guys raced in horrendous winds and lapped up the action, some very skilled sailors around then and now.

Amen.
