Thanks Kurt!!!!!!!!

For anyone that doesn't know...Kurt AKA "CaptK" created this site (yep...he IS a geek!!....although he looks 'kinda normal') does all the site maintanance, upgrades etc and PAYS for it!!!!  Seriously!!!

As a token of 10ys of appreciation.....we should all at least send rum!!!  :)
Kurt...post your mailing address!!!

He truly is a great guy, even with his drinki.... I mean "other problems"
If you are ever passing through the Carolina's.....look him up. You'll have a blast (and hangover)

TEN YEARS!!!! You are joshing me!!!

A friend on another forum posted this- at 74 yrs old, I can concur-

"life is like a roll of toilet paper - the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes.

[Frank]

Ain't that a fact CJ!!

Just thinking about that "toast" picture you posted......
I'm surpised it's not blurry if Capt K took it!!!!!   ::) ??? :o ;D

[CharlieJ]

So many years, so much experience!
Grog to you all!

Tks Capt K and all.... New kid on the block, but still my favorite forum. Onward... Into the fog!

[CapnK]

Hard to believe it has been 10 years already! Forum has been busier and slower, and there's been so many people who've been here and then gone on to their own adventures on boats, some we know about, some we are only left to guess. All in all a *great* bunch of folks, even if some of them (hosers...) tell lies (eh) about the mayhem they caused (ahem) while passing through my town... Wish I could meet more of you in person! I've learned a lot here - we have always had some of the best contributions of knowledge I think, "pound-for-pound", of any forum out there. Thanks to y'all for making the idea I had happen, and grogs all around!  ;D 8)

Yes.....Capt K...... the total credit for this "motley crew" being together goes to you.

As I mentioned.....seeing as it was your brainchild, you created it, maintain it, upgrade it...AND PAY FOR IT.....the least we can do after 10ys is send rum!!!!!!

What is your shipping address???

[CharlieJ]

Has shifted a lot hasn't it?

Many names no longer being seen. Many trips have happened, and some that didn't.

Makes you wonder where they went?

From what I've heard...with rum...

[CapnK]

WE MADE IT!

10 years exactly tonight, and as I type this, ol' Member #1 is *still* logged in... :D

Thanks, each and every one of you, for being a part of us over the years! "We" are *you*, and I hope that everyone has gotten some benefit no matter how small from being a part of sailFar! :)

[Frank]

Thank YOU Kurt for your vision and seeing it through!!!

Happy 10th!!!

[Tim]

Thanks to all of you who make this happen. Especially the "Old Man" (CapnK) at the wheel!

[Mako]

Thanks CapnK ! :)

[Capt. Tony]

To CapnK and ALL of the posters, I sincerely thank you for all of the hours of entertainment, education, ideas, pictures, yarns, videos, and all in all, just pure enjoyment.  The community found here can make anyone feel like they have some part in "Living the Dream".  That's a pretty cool thing for a land-locked wanna be like me. 

Definitely a big hats off to the Captain for his efforts and achievements evident here (Kurt, if I was smart enough to "grog" ya I would).

P.s. please tell me how one acquires a bottle of 100 year old rum.

[jotruk]

Have had a great run so far and hope that it keeps going. A lot of great reading and info on here.
