Hey Guys,

Do both of you realize it's Summertime? Time to be sailing!

Put the Damn Cameras away and go Sailing. If you take your camera; TAKE
SAILING pictures.

Hey Thom, I can sail everyday and still beat bubble black and blue. It
simple with such a blatent lack of photographic skills, and poor choice
of a boat.

Had a nice mahogany plank planed down to repair my rudder on the La
Brisa.

Doug gave me the tip to make a new non kick up type rudder, I had to
modify the broken aluminum frame to accept the new rudder, but that
wasent to hard using a disk grinder. It's going to be stronger and a
bit bigger for my heavy wind use.

My only concern is the rudder is now going to be a bit over 1/2"
thick, the old one was aluminium and only 1/8 inch thick...watta drag
huh?. I'm going to taper the leading edge to a knife like sharpness.
The wind speed is 0-1 knot right now, and the lake is flat as glass.
