I...You said there were gorillas! Not guerillas ... <br />I am pretty sure that's not the exact quote, but it goes something like that.<br />I really like Captain Ron and I've only sailed a few times - a few day sails, and a three-day weekend sail - nothing serious like what you do. I'm impressed that you weathered all of those squalls - oh that was just cliche, wasn't it? :)Tyrean Martinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356604721537744361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-9008453415483991042017-09-29T11:56:38.458-07:002017-09-29T11:56:38.458-07:00Ok, I get it now, when you say - "oh, yeah, S...Ok, I get it now, when you say - "oh, yeah, Scott loves that movie.." it is code for "Oh God, please don't subject me to this again!" My very favorite part of CR is the first docking scene where he is tearing down through the marina, heading straight for the party ashore, then swings the boat around at the very last minute and glides right up to the dock. I want to be able to do that. I mean really I do, but Greg would have a heart attack. <br /><br />I remember a squall in the Abacos once, our first year of sailing. Our friends, Debbie and Karen, were visiting us on the boat. We were heading to Marsh Harbor when it started to rain and visibility pretty much vanished. I was scared (not being able to see and all, near a busy harbor), but Debbie and Karen were having a big time - they thought it was fun. But of course, they should have pretty much been terrified the whole visit, but weren't - bet I could have scared them with a little Capt Ron docking action, though!

Captain Ron is one of them, but it's not something we can do very often (once every 2 to 3 years). We do quote it sometimes (let's kick the tires and light the fires), but my favourite quote has to be from a BBC series. If you can guess it, I'll be seriously impressed. Here's the quote: We didn't burn him!<br /><br />Stephanie Gardinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014068647517140070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-88853986459841663732017-09-29T07:34:04.238-07:002017-09-29T07:34:04.238-07:00Yes, I've seen Captain Ron.

I think the appeal of Cap'n Ron is that most sailors can relate to the occasional absurdity of it all and, in the end, the family still decides to turn the boat around and sail away.
