THE TRIP FROM LACK OF SWANS SWANSBORO TO WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH WAS AN ADVENTURE. AFTER RUNNING AGROUND A SECOND TIME, WE HAD TO BE PULLED INTO DEEPER WATER BY A PASSING BOAT.
A WHILE LATER WE HEARD A DISTRESS CALL COME OVER THE RADIO - THE BIG WINNER NEEDED HELP! A YOUNG LADY AT THE COAST GUARD STATION RESPONDED SEEKING ADDITIONAL INFO FROM THE CREW OF THE BIG WIENER. THE BIG WINNER RESPONDED THAT THEY WERE THE BIG WINNER. SHE ASKED FOR CLARIFICATION IF THEY WERE THE BIG WIENER OR BIG WINNER. IT MUST HAVE BEEN A TOUGH ANSWER FOR THE CREW...NO BIG WIENER, WE ARE THE BIG WINNER..... "THAT THERES FUNNY, I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE"
WE BUSTED A GUT LISTENING TO THE EXCHANGE. HOPEFULLY ALL TURNED OUT OK.
UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE HIS FRUSTRATIONS WITH US HUMANS AND IN DESPERATE NEED TO GET AWAY, BARNEY TRIED TO ESCAPE BEFORE THE BOAT WAS SECURELY TIED UP. HE WENT STRAIGHT FOR THE BAR AND ATTEMPTED A DISGUISE. OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS HE HAS MADE MORE THAN A FEW ATTEMPTS TO GET AWAY.
IN THE HOLIDAY MOOD, WE DECORATED SLOW ROLL.
CAROLYN GRABBED A RENTAL CAR AND HEADED HOME.
AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PICTURE, BARNEY CONTINUED TO BE GRUMPY. NOT SURE WHY HE WOULDN'T BE EXCITED ABOUT THIS ADVENTURE..... PERHAPS - UNABLE TO WALK ON HIS OWN, BEING PACKED IN WHAT IS REALLY A FLOATING CRATE, NEAR CONSTANT JIBBER JABBER, WEE WILLIES, BIG WIENERS, AND NO BITCHES.....
WE BOUGHT HIM A TREAT. "CHEER UP, LITTLE BUDDY!"
THE RAINS MOVED OUT TODAY AND PROVIDED A SPECTACULAR SIGHT. THERE HAVE BEEN MORE THAN A FEW OPPORTUNITIES ON THIS TRIP FOR US TO COUNT OUR BLESSINGS. WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE AND MISS YOU ALL.
You can't make this stuff up!! Too funny!!
ReplyDeleteDoggie duty guy here. No bitches? Not so sure about that. Love the Elvis statue and the rainbow.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the phone call this morning.I am thrilled that you all are having this great adventure..well except for Barney. We miss you although not until after 10:30 since you rarely make it in to the office before that!! See you soon! Sandra..the younger
ReplyDeleteWho wants to claim the pair of legs in the Barney photo? Coverpage-quality rainbow photo -- you should submit it to Cruising World magazine. I'm sure George's therapist is eagerly awaiting his return, and the ensuing income from George venting about the trip. -- Roger
ReplyDeleteWell it looks like Barney Bad Ass is living up to his name. Emma Lou says the bitch is in Urbanna so get your bad ass home. I'm so glad that the weather seems to be holding for you. We actually picked about a dozen cherry tomatoes today. Its supposed to freeze tonight.
ReplyDeleteLove Ya
Well the blog seems to have gone silent for a while. Hope you didn't meet the fate of the "Big Weiner". Hard to get assistance when CG can't understand name of vessel. Trust all is OK and you are proceeding South - warmer there!I would ask if all still fun but that is a foregone conclusion with this crew. Elvis would have fit right in.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to have you back here in Urbanna. Houses are selling left and right, gift shops are having their best sales in Years. Wine at the market is selling at half price and scotch is at an all time low. Miss you all, hope to see you soon. Trailerman
