Hi Gary,

Great video.  I love bluegrass music.  Before I bought my 34, I posted a sailing resume on YouTube.  If you want to take ten minutes out of your day it is here for your enjoyment:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Th-KGH8Cwk .

Cheers,

Bob

Nice vid,  I thought I was the only potato gunner with a sailboat... 

[Terry Forshier]

I loved both these.

Thanks Guys....I appreciate hearing from you. It was a blast and Eric, our middle son did such a nice job on the video I thought it would be fun to share.

We do love Maine and the sailing opportunities you have seen....we are happy to share the experience...either by video or, if visiting in our area, the opportunity to join us on Kije is open to the C34 Board. It seems a good idea to say "thankyou" by way of sharing the video and a sailing opportunity here.

The potato gun was owned by a newbie to the group, there were two guns, at first it was a pain, and then because (2 glasses of wine) we are so easy going and because the kids loved it it was fine.

they sure seem just right in the video !!~

Gary,

Nice video, I enjoyed and the music, too.  The LOBSTER photo was superb.  Any chance of making up a lobster gun and aiming it my way? 

Bob,

Nice music, too.  Where did you find her?

Hi Stu,

"The LOBSTER photo was superb.  Any chance of making up a lobster gun and aiming it my way?"

Now there is an idea, Stu. What a way to say thank you to The Board! Lobster Lobbing across the landscape!

Gary,

QUICK, before anyone looks:  PATENT the phrase "Lobster Lobber"   

I volunteer to be your first "victim"

Ah yes, we happened to be at the Goslings the night before with Paul & Lise and Gail & Randy. They mentioned something about a party at the Dolphin but we were well ensconced in kayaking & paddle boarding at the Goslings.

"WHEN LOBSTERS FLY"

Perhaps you could jury rig one of those sling shots that are used for water ballons.

AND AWAY WE GO....

Getting hit with the lobster would taste better but the potato would hurt less
