 Well I guess by now, most of you know that in Port Clinton, Oh.  we have pulled the Tropical Attitude for the summer. We’re getting ready for the winter a little early, I will admit, but we are assisting some friends with their boat from Atlantic City, N.J. to Punta Gorda, Fl. I will be keeping all of you great people who still have jobs enlightened on the stress levels of  hanging  around on boats. We did have a great summer this year!  I want to thank all of you who sailed with us this last summer. A lot of you have been with me before and for some of you, it was your first time. My hope is that you enjoyed it as much as I always do. I have never met a person who said I wish the trip was shorter but they have said, I wish the trip was longer.  I’ll be flying out Wed. morning 6:45am. My first mate, Jimmy Southward, would say “at the ass crack of dawn”.  Anyway, this should be another great trip south to Florida. I’ll be posting some picture on the ships log and sending it to all that I have emails address for. Neal and Sharon also have a website that they will be posting to, so you can get two great looks at what we are doing. How KEWL! Is that www.koinonia27.com  So… until our next meeting stay well, SAIL NAKED and God Bless.

Here we are again, ready for another great summer. This year, as everbody all ready knows we are sailing a 46-ft Hunter called Tropical Attitude. The only thing missin is Jimmy Southward, the First Mate . Sure do miss that fellow, but never the less we will be sailing this  summer and getting ready for this years trip south.  If your not doin anything this summer and you’re close to Port Clinton, stop  in and say Hi  I’ll give you a tour.  May flies, we’ve had our share this year but hopefully there allmost gone. The fisherman tell me that the fishin has been slow but they have been bigger. Two weeks ago one of the boats came in with ther limit  of Walleye,  the smallest being 20″. That’s the latest in the news from BananaWinds sailing charters Clear and Standing  by.

We are planning  a small party the afternoon of Sept. 9th. 3:pm – 10:pm. Everyone is invited, but please bring a dish to pass and we will furnish all the Hamburgers and Hotdogs. You will be able to meet the people who are going on the trip and eat your heart out  for not going with us.  You will meet the First Mate Jim Southward, Galley Chief, Perry Martin,  and the rest of the crew, Jim Bryant and Tony Lacko. Stevie Shymitz will join us in Buffalo, N.Y. sorry about the spelling Stevie. We will also be making daily entries on the site after Sept. 10th.  So stay close and keep your eye on us, I’m sure it will be great fun for all.
