Some have asked...
"What in the heck does "Our Bowman Can Drive" mean anyway?"
|
Well, on a racing
sailboat everyone gets a job. The Bowman
stands at the front of the boat working his butt off with sail
handling and trying not to get killed working spinnaker changes
and jibes and the like. Most Bowmen never get to drive. As a result,
they're not very good at it. When they do drive, it's usually a
formula for disaster. While I don't know who was driving in the
picture above, I would not be surprised to find out the Bowman
was driving. So, now, I'm a Bowman. I've raced that position on boats
from 24 to 57 feet. Club racing, round the buoys racing, one design,
offshore. And yes I can drive. I drive very well. I'm one of the watch
captains when we go offshore.

So, like I say, Our Bowman Can Drive. |

Home
pages are a little like personal
advertising. But a little
anonymity goes a long way. Let's just
call me "NEWPLAYER". It's a
long story. But, hey, it's my page. A
long time ago, I surfed my
way onto a wonderful little home page
that led me to the world of
chatting. The kind soul who maintained
the page and introduced me
to her chat friends (let's call her
Macy) suggested that I chose
a handle and just dive right it. After a
little watching, I figured
out who she was in the group and
announced my arrival as the
"NEWPLAYER" in the group. All right, it
wasn't that long.

Something I like about
this media is meeting new folks. In my
spare
time I link to visit a couple of places
to chat. It was my time at
L'Hotel Chat that got me started. From
there I've found Firefly.
Both are great places, come and visit.
If we get to know each well
enough, I'll tell you my real name. Sign
up with Firefly and drop
me a line, or join in a chat. Come on in
to the L'Hotel Chat and l
eave me a note on the Wall. Or just drop
me a note.
