Re: [Cal_Boats] CCCCCCCCCCCCCC, was: Macinaw and CCCCCC(D. Owen)
David, Pullleeez! Let's not exaggerate what happened.
After you thought I was safely aboard my yacht and sleeping away like a buzz saw milling giant redwoods, I stuck my thumb out, hopped aboard a passing blue whale who dropped me off at the Isthmus dock, where-upon I went into the night club, continued the wild night of dancing, smooching, hooching, and merry making (I'll leave out the part about the orgy) till 3:00AM where upon the same whale stopped by at curfew time and gave me a ride back to my boat, safe and sound, and mostly dry.... Well, I did share the last bottle of champagne with him on the swim back. Nice whale.

Jerry,
Is that the one where you were convinced it wasn't safe to row and ended up swimming the whole way?

Charrlie, you ask what all the CCCCCCCC's mean/contructed? After the third bottlel of Champagne, all the CCCCCCC's become a blur. My one man dingy was rammed, thrashed by another dingy's outboard prop, spun around and around and deflated, and I was ordered aboard my yacht to go below to sleep it off, after one CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC CCCC broke up after I declared I was going to extend the festivities by rowing two miles down the coast in total darkness to the Isthmussesses to seek further late night night life. Oh well!

Speaking of Chris and Chris, this sounds like another invocation of what
was called the CCCCCC on the West Coast. Some of the C's were things
like CAL, Catalina (Island), Champagne, and Caper, but I have forgotten
the full construction.
Cheers

This does sound like fun. Why don't you call my boss and make
arrangements for me to be paid for a few weeks so I can wander past
Mackinaw to the North Channel at a Cal 20 speed? Work always gets in the
way of fun....
