*Gordon Bennett, Carl!* Because of the need to limit green house gases, I had the practice of the deep bow stopped a couple of years ago---the ozone hole and all, you know.* A simple bowing of the head will suffice.* Thank you for*the thought though.Old Stone wrote:
Ah - I see, and now we must bow to the Don. Yes, I made you do it! I will never learn. The devil made ME do it! Slow day for some of us, for sure! Only satisfaction I get right now is that I am quite sure the one, the only, the Don, is not in his beach throne, but humbly, we must still bow. Ever notice that a deep bow MAY cause a slight bit of wind now and then? Must depend on who you are bowing to!

Lets's see now..."Coast Guard, this is SeaHorse II. My boat is a 32' cruiser with blue topsides,white wheelhouse/cabin sides & superstructure. Do you copy?"
*I don't believe I've ever heard anyone on the radio with a description like that! Now I realize that I could be dead wrong but I would be interested in how many members of this forum identify their vessels in that way.
