That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for January 08, 2024

Rowing was hard, so Marjorie unwrapped herself and made her canoe into a sailboat.

/// Herman Melville’s first book was Typee,

a memoir of his first time at sea.

He encountered a girl,

a well-formed native pearl,

known as Fayaway, guileless and free.

/// She was, on one occasion, allowed

to stand up in a boat, tall and proud.

The loin-cloth she would wear

she now waved in the air

like a sail and no longer a shroud.

Shelly has an unique way of air drying her laundry.

Her? It looks like a guy to me.

That’s the last time I let someone eat crackers in bed!

“She thought she was alone out in the water far away for anyone to pry and leer as she shed society’s intolerances and norms placed upon her, but alas she was wrong. There was at least one.”

The new sentient Ken doll wishing he was anatomically correct.

Mary missed a few details in her understanding of how sail boats worked

The new Navy recruiting poster was notably successful.

Alice trying to wave down the man from Nantucket.

Francesca wanted to be a matador so badly … but could not even afford the requisite red cape. She would paddle slowly along the lake shore to challenge the bullheads. But all she got was catfish-calls from boys on the banks. It wasn’t until she started her act in Vegas that Nude Bull Fighting really took off.

“How to Fold a Fitted Sheet”

If done from a different angle a lot of us wouldn’t be able to tell you the color of the blanket.

If only she had thought to bring along a clothesline.

Next up on the History Channel, “Sailboarding, the early years”.

Unfortunately, hundreds drowned when responding rescue boats collided.

The owner of the boat couldn’t afford to pay for both a figurehead and a mast.

The model depicted appears to be QUITE under age. Epstein’s ancestor invited her to go for a paddle??

Every Spring, when the fleet passed them by,

The business folk wondered why..

Their best efforts failed/

And the fleet past them sailed:/

They could not catch the Commodore’s eye..///

The business folk sneered and laughed/

At the town’s trollop’s flimsy craft/

Yet the harbor she cleared/

Toward the flagship she steered/

They thought that she must be daft..///

Though by some she was firmly reproved/

When the last of her clothes she removed../

They were forced to concede/

That probably she’d/

Been the reason that business improved ..

Off in the distance Jane could hear Tarzan’s mating call……..his eye sight is still spot on!

Since she threw Frederick overboard, she was at a loss for a mast.

uh, that looks pretty unstable

Huh. Usually sailors are three sheets to the wind before the nudity occurs.

Nobody would rescue here because they thought she was a guy.

Volunteers needed to climb the mast and furl the jib.

“Nope! Not here either!”

She’ll do anything to divert the attention from her “slavery” faux pas.

I have added a comment there pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. Only work by him used here so far.

only way you can tell it’s a girl is what she DOESN’T have

Good thinking……

Haley use to be called Hal.

They are using semaphores to communicate with me, and I forgot my flags! Quick … what else can I use?

Before mooning the trains became popular …

I really don’t see the boat staying that level with her standing at one end.
