Speaker A: N6iwh ko6bty. N6iwh ko6bty. Calling you out there, pete. Did I hear my call sign?
Speaker B: Good morning, Pete. Thank you. Got the artwork this morning. I'm going to take it in and put it up here at work. Unfortunately, I am getting ready to go inside. But thank you. That looks amazing.
Speaker C: Okay. You know, I did want to talk to you though, being that you were military, about stepping on toes. You know what I mean? Like hurting people's feelings or something like that. Disparagement of the military. I want to be careful.
Speaker B: I don't think you're going to offend anybody. Yeah, I think you should be good.
Speaker C: Well, I've also got a tank and a half track with skeletons all over them. I mean, you know, blah. Flying through the air. All right, look at. I'll catch you later. KO6BGY on 6 idle 8 73K06BGY. I'll be clear.

Speaker A: Wb6kxv marine mobile, lake orville.
Speaker B: 6 CWO vehicle mobile. How are you doing out on the lake?
Speaker A: I'm doing good, doing good. Just enjoying sailing alone here. Had surgery recently. 20 days out from that and I'm just out here having a great time, having lunch on the water and checking in with nets and so on and so forth.
Speaker B: Hey, Roger that. This is Gary. I live in Oroville. In fact, I'm leaving Oroville right now. I'm over on Oprah Road. I guess it is. Whatever. I just left the gas station handing them half my paycheck and fuel in this truck, you know, just going up and up and up. Well, you got a sailboat, Roger, Roger.
Speaker A: Yeah, this is Hal and I'm aboard Genesis. It's a 27 foot Catalina and I keep it at Bidwell Marina. I live in Gridley, California.
Speaker B: Oh, okay. Wow, that person just outright ran the red light. Yeah, I've known a few people that like to sail sailboats and right now today's a good day for it. Nice breeze out there today.
Speaker A: Yeah, Moving along, not very fast. Right now the boat's sailing itself and I've only got one sail up, so I'm only doing about four miles an hour. But yeah, it should have about 12 to 15 mile an hour winds out here. Starting to form little white caps right now.
Speaker B: Okay. Yeah, I've lived here for 30 something years and we always talked about a boat, but we've never gotten one. My experience with the lake, one time we were given a free rental of a patio boat for half a day in a raffle and we enjoyed that. But work and everything else, we just never got around to getting a boat or anything.
Speaker A: Yeah, Roger on that, Gary. Well, I tell you, I've had small boats quite a while, but since I retired about 17 years ago, I've gone through three boats and slowly gotten up from 23 to 27ft, different boats and yeah, it's great. And we have a little club called the Chico Yacht Club and we have seven boats right now in the marina that stay there year round.
Speaker B: Okay. Part of a yacht club? Yeah. I have a friend, I don't know if he's doing sailing, he had the smaller sailboat and he used to sail his boat quite a bit. Him and his daughter, they liked to go out. When I was in high school, I did a wilderness class in summer school and we had backpacking and rock climbing and repelling and. And we had sailing and learned a little bit about sailing. The teacher we had, Mr. Allen, he had one of those Hobie cats. And my sister and brother in law had one of those too for a while. They really enjoyed those.
Speaker A: Roger. Yeah, I've sailed the Hobie 16s and Hobie 14s years ago. I had a small little 13 foot boat called a Laser for a while. Yeah, they're a lot of fun. They're a lot of fun.
Speaker B: And
Speaker A: the bigger boats are nice because you can have lunch on them. I've got a bathroom on mine. I got a two burner stove and a microwave oven and all that kind of good stuff, barbecue. It's kind of like a home.
Speaker B: W e w axm receiver kf6cwo Friday yeah, when I was, I was in the army, I was stationed in Belgium and there was a Danish master sergeant that was my supervisor at that time and, and he had a dream he had to sailboat and he had a dream that he was going to sail around the world. I don't know if he ever did or not, but used to talk about it all the time.
Speaker A: Yeah, Roger, Some of the people in our club have done that, sailed around the world. In fact, two of them, they're older now, they must be 92 of them went through the Panama Canal going opposite directions, both sailing around the world in different directions.
Speaker B: Wow, that must have been an experience going through the Panama Canal.
Speaker A: Yeah, Roger, but just imagine little tiny Chico and two people meet each other in the Panama Canal. What are the chances of that?
Speaker B: That's quite a. Like I say, that would be quite an experience. Or getting next to one of those large ships. You know, I remember one of the cruise ships that we were on. After our cruise, they were going to reposition from the Pacific into the Atlantic and supposedly they were going to be going through the Panama Canal.
Speaker A: Yeah, Roger, Roger. Yeah. I don't think I'll ever get to do that. I'm almost 78 years old, but at least I'll sail in the bay. And I'm going to sail to Monterey here pretty soon. Another boat, another friend. We all have boats, different places we can share.
Speaker B: Well, that's, you know, another type of hobby. And you know, you get groups that do the same thing and imagine you guys got a lot of stories to swap and everything. Now we're getting ready to go on Alaskan cruise in July. I've always wanted to go to Alaska, so we're going to do that. I just, I retired back in October. My job ended and I ran a power plant for 32 years here in Oroville. And so anyway, it ran out and I was 66 and 8 months and started my Social Security and got a nice 401k. And so I'm. I'm retired now, too. I got to go to my mom's and take care of some. Some business for her.
Speaker A: Roger, Roger, Gary. WB6KXVID. Yeah, that's great. Yeah. If you ever want to go sailing, you hear me on. Come on out. I take people out all the time and it's fun. It's just nice. Today I'm by myself. That's okay. It's super beautiful out here today. Nobody here.
Speaker B: This is the best time of year
Speaker A: to go, I think. You know, summers get too hot. This is great.
Speaker B: Yeah, it's nice. Peaceful and relaxing, I imagine. Yeah, summertime, you got that hot sun beating on you and you just want to get out of it, which I guess is another reason I don't have a boat to play around in the summer. Oh, there's a boat for sale. Anyway, what was your name again? I'm sorry, short memory.
Speaker A: Roger, Gary. Name is Hal. Hotel Alpha Lima. Hal Hotel Alpha Lima. Yeah. Well, have a wonderful day, Gary, and I'll try to remember your call. I'm not very good with that, but I do remember Gary, but.73, have a nice day and thanks for coming back to me. This is whiskey problem. 6 kilo x ray Victor, Marine Mobile.
Speaker B: Okay, Hal, well, you continue to enjoy your day. It's nice talking to you. I've never talked Marine Mobile before, so I got that one. And yeah, I used to be on here quite a bit in the early days, but a lot of the people are gone. I spend more time on hf and so anyway, you have a good day. This is KF6, CW.
Speaker A: Roger. Yeah, me too. I just checked in on the Marine Net. There's a Maritime net at 14, 300. And so I checked in there. When I'm out sailing, I always check in and they work really hard to relay. I like that because if I ever take this thing and I've got to take it to Washington and sail out to the islands out there, the San Juan, I want to feel have some connection with the world other than cell phone. 73 kf 60 wo.
