MandT is on a bit of a hiatus over the holidays but rest assured we’ll be back once we get over our new year hangover. In the mean time I stumbled across this earlier and thought you’d like it: see more pwn and owned pictures ]]> http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/12/merry-christmas-and-happy-new-year/feed/ 0 Drink of the Week: Tequila Sunrise http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/12/drink-of-the-week-tequila-sunrise/ http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/12/drink-of-the-week-tequila-sunrise/#comments Mon, 22 Dec 2008 23:19:59 +0000 mrcrispy http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/?p=303
This week’s drink comes staring slowly across the sky. That’s right, its the Tequila Sunrise made famous by The Eagles and Mel Gibson….although the latter may be a bit of a stretch. This cocktail made its first appearance at the Arizona Biltmore sometime in the late 1930’s when, according to legend, bartender Gene Sulit created the [...]]]> http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/12/drink-of-the-week-tequila-sunrise/feed/ 0 iPhone Boating Apps… http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/12/iphone-boating-apps/ http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/12/iphone-boating-apps/#comments Thu, 18 Dec 2008 19:07:56 +0000 mrcrispy http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/?p=295
The iPhone was an odd journey for me. It started out as “why would I ever want one”, then became “I need a new phone so I might as well”. After about a month of using it, the iPhone is now one of those “how in the blue hell did I ever live without one?” [...]]]> http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/12/iphone-boating-apps/feed/ 0 Marina of the Week: Reynolds Park Yacht Center http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/12/marina-of-the-week-reynolds-park-yacht-center/ http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/12/marina-of-the-week-reynolds-park-yacht-center/#comments Thu, 11 Dec 2008 20:16:22 +0000 mrcrispy http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/?p=258
I have found throughout my travels that there are basically two kinds of marinas: “a great place to plan a weekend trip to” and “the perfect place to store your boat”. Reynolds falls squarely in the latter category. As far as marinas go, Reynolds is relatively new to the Jacksonville area although part of me has a bit [...]]]> http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/12/marina-of-the-week-reynolds-park-yacht-center/feed/ 0 The #1 X-Mas Boutique Gift Item! http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/12/the-1-x-mas-boutique-gift-item/ http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/12/the-1-x-mas-boutique-gift-item/#comments Thu, 11 Dec 2008 15:20:06 +0000 mrcrispy http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/?p=251
You have your boat people and you have your plane people. Not since the Grumman Goose have the two worlds collided so wonderfully. The same Egg Heads that brought you Spaceship-1 have created the ICON Aircraft. This amazing light-sport plane lands on water and land, has folding wings to make it easier to store and best [...]]]> http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/12/the-1-x-mas-boutique-gift-item/feed/ 0 More Bikini Stuff… http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/12/more-bikini-stuff/ http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/12/more-bikini-stuff/#comments Mon, 08 Dec 2008 22:48:59 +0000 mrcrispy http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/?p=241
Well, in looking at our logs, the majority of the traffic is centered around that lovely lady from the Poker Run. I think it’s safe to say that NO ONE here at MandT is surprised by these findings. We strive to please our loyal readers (all 3 of you) so with that in mind, here [...]]]> http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/12/more-bikini-stuff/feed/ 0 Drink of the Week: Boat Drinks http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/12/drink-of-the-week-boat-drinks/ http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/12/drink-of-the-week-boat-drinks/#comments Wed, 03 Dec 2008 20:21:25 +0000 mrcrispy http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/?p=236
Chances are that if you like boating enough to read this website beyond the bikini pictures then you probably like Jimmy Buffett too. Some of you may remember his song “Boat Drinks”. The story behind that song goes something like this: “It was February in Boston, and I was cold and wanted to go home. Rum and [...]]]> http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/12/drink-of-the-week-boat-drinks/feed/ 0 2007 Fireman’s Poker Run http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/11/2007-firemans-poker-run/ http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/11/2007-firemans-poker-run/#comments Sun, 30 Nov 2008 22:52:35 +0000 mrcrispy http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/?p=177
Once again Fast Freddy, who is rapidly earning the nickname of “dirty old bastard”, elected himself as the reporter of something to do with women in bikinis. In this case it was the Fireman’s Poker Run. Get this: a bunch of guys with fast cigarette boats drive down the St. John’s River as fast as [...]]]> http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/11/2007-firemans-poker-run/feed/ 0 Now with Mermaid-O-Vision! http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/11/now-with-mermaid-vision/ http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/index.php/2008/11/now-with-mermaid-vision/#comments Sun, 30 Nov 2008 20:51:56 +0000 mrcrispy http://www.mermaidsandtales.com/?p=232
Some of you may remember that photo shoot on Sorry Dog’s boat from a couple of days ago. Well there just so happened to be someone there with a video camera.

A little late on the post but there was a bikini competition at the 2007 Jacksonville In-Water Boat Show. Our very own Fast Freddy was there.   Once again because I’m too lazy to type a decent story (and Freddy’s hands are still shaking too much from this project), I’m just going to post the gallery.
