OT: She's a Beauty

by rb608, Tue May 20, 2008 at 05:11:20 PM EST

With all of the sniping, nastiness, and downright tension here of late, I thought I'd go way off topic with a photo of something calm and relaxing; a real beauty. She's a 68-footer just launched by New England Boatworks.

The following photo is presented as nothing more than a nice gesture, with no ulterior motive. I just noticed the name & thought it would be appreciated. Enjoy:

Like that old song... (none / 0)

She's everything you dream about...
but don't fall in love...
She's a beauty ---
one in a million girls,
she's a beauty.
Why would I lie?

I'm not sure I want to single any one poster out for extra credit, but it is a cute find.

It's not going to get you on the rec list.

I'd suggest you delete this diary. Not helpful.

Oh hell, I know it's not helpful. I was hoping for not harmful, though. I know the namesake is well respected here; and honestagawd, I was trying to be nice.

FWIW, the story, such as it is, is currently on www.sailinganarchy.com.

Your scheme is revealed! (none / 0)

Sadly you didn't coordinate with HillaryIs44 or TailorMarsh to rec it up instantly.

Was that always a hate site? (none / 0)

Has Hillaryis44.com always been a hate site? If not, when did they go off the deep end?

Not a clue (none / 0)

I didn't even know about it until recently.

Actually the first time I thought I was going there, I went to http://hillaryis404.org/ instead.

why anybody would go through that much trouble and money to make that site, is beyond me.

I doubt it cost much (none / 0)

The joke was probably worth it for them.

Re: OT: She's a Beauty (none / 0)

thats nice.

looks like she sails pretty good.

[i think Hillary is pretty lucky to have Alegre as a fierce supporter. and maybe Obama will be too.]

Re: OT: She's a Beauty (none / 0)

Ah, I love sailboats. I grew up with a 28 footer my dad and two uncles owned together (an excuse to leave the wives on the beach and go drink beer, while the kids did all the work).
Thanks for reminding me of that, RB!

You're most welcome. My sailing & racing days are behind me, but I do love the sight of a beautiful boat.

Re: OT: She's a Beauty (none / 0)

I'd be flattered to see my name on anything that beautiful, I think anyone would.
