Might be worth fixin' up though, considerin' the price of fuel, everyone knows the Spaniards could get thousands of mile to the galleon.

The ones that are at Corpus Christi have been there since 1992 . They were built in Spain to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Columbus' sailing to the New World. They are in dry dock at Corpus Christi and are in total disrepair.

Now that's a darn shame.

The ships were poorly constructed with cheap materials.

Still big ego thing with the rich and famous, Pay 2er3 hunnert for a $25 pony, course the Gubermint got there hands in it so it inflates the price some

Good Photo Op for the rich and famous.

Surprised it's still goin' on. Occasionally one'll drown 'n the peta types go bananas. Read somewhere they have volunteers ta help 'em when they get in distress. Ain't heard ah one drownin' in a long time 'n it'd been headlines if one had.

Can't remember a time when they didn't do it.

I had forgotten about it, but had remembered seeing something about it on TV a few years ago.

Commadore,
Have we ever boarded and ~~looted~~ inventoried 20+ pontoon boats at once before? Looks like easy ~~pickins~~ duty fer this crew. I believe we all have a particular friend we visit in other parts that would be mighty glad ta take care of yon horses once we have them safely inta port. I believe if she'd seen this she'd a manned the cannon an there'd be no tax left ta collect from yon whitelegs

LR. My G Granddad on Dad's side of the family ran a livery stable with horses and mules in Texhoma, Okla. They came out there in the Land Run of 1889. We always had horses when I was growing up. I got into roping some in college but never had to the time to practice alot. Did some team ropin' a few years ago(healing,cause I'm left handed). I don't have horses anymore and don't rope much, other than the back yard when the weather is cool.

My roping is mostly doctorin' sick yealings and calves, occassional big cow, I heel also, I too am left handed. Never could figger out to spin a loop from the right side. Shoot rifle shotty Bow golf club right handed Guitar right handed. Get my left twist from KINGS or Allies, use to sell both in my shop

We got Smith Bros. up in Denton, Tx. That's where I got my ropes from.

Well then maties, on me recent stocking adventure in the Dutch held isles, I ran across quite the bargain. Feller speakin some kine a Spanish were pullin a cart filled ta the brim with Cuban ceegars. Figgured I do us all a favor an trade some of the TP from the paper mill fer a crate. It'll be a nice way ta relax an celebrate the takin of yon pontoon boats. An we still got the corn cobbs, so it's a win-win.
