    Movies

    I don't know how many of you guys and gals are interested in sailing but there is a good movie that just came out that is really good.
    The Morning Light Project is a Disney documentary about a bunch of amateur sailors sailing a TP52. A very good friend of mine, Chris Branning, who is a senior at the USMMA is in the movie. He was the navigator aboard the TP52. Even if you have never sailed before, this is a pretty good movie about team work and other good stuff. Its a documentary, but it sure beats sex, drugs, and violence in the movies.

              Give him a break, he's just in school, young and thinks the world works just like they tell him!! Those of us who have survived the onset of years know that the only sex you get is what you see in movies!!!

                  I watched The Great Escape for the hundredth time tonight, still a great movie! From a time when the movies just started to get corrupt with the sex, drugs, and violence.

                          You need to give Ray a break. He looks at those magazines strictly for the articles, and THOSE movies because the acting between scenes is so good.

                              The great escape is an all time favorite. STeve McQueen is the man. Seen "On any Sunday," he was a cool guy.
