I know an ophthamologist!

So, you're claiming that you sailed the Gulf in your MacrapM but didn't take any pictures. That must have been quite a ride!

Actually, JG, we did sail the Gulf just as I had stated in my original note. - Your problem is that you either didn't really take the time to read my note, or your eyes are going bad and you need to get to an ophthalmologist, or you are simply getting too old to comprehend sentences more than five words in length written in standard english.


Incidentally, as I pointed out to you earlier, since my notes seem to irritate you, you should remember that you really don't have to read them in the first place. - Just press your "down" key and you can skip right on by.

Sure... meta message is.... you didn't go anywhere near the ocean on your boat.

I was pretty busy on this trip Capt and didn't have much time for picture taking. I'll try to do a better job next time.

I did enjoy (and survive) our extended ocean cruise.

(Actually, New Year's eve.) Although I had to wear a light jacket part of
the time, the weather was very nice for cruising Saturday, with some 50 or
so sailboats out in Galveston bay. Nice steady winds throughout the
afternoon. After some recent maintenance, all the electronics seem to be
performing well. (The transducer for the chart reader had been having
problems.) Also had a new reefing system installed, with lines led aft.
Even on a small boat like the M, I find the autopilot a significant help
for single-handed sailing. - Useful when preparing lunch, adjusting the
rigging, or for sitting on the deck watching the bow cut through the
water. Sort of like magic.

In any event, I'm looking forward to the 2006 sailing season.

So, does this mean you survived your extended ocean cruise on your MacrapM?
