Ok Nutsy and other Northeasterns,

HEAT!! It coming at Ya. Be Careful. Make allowances for it. Joe has
shown you the way. A Moon Light Sail should be on the menu.


Indeed it should Thom. I perfer to sail at night most anytime of year.


I think I've seen more amazing things sailing at night. My favorite
was electric snakes, water so loaded with phosphorus that snakes like
tubes of light were rolling all around RedCloud. I told everone onboard
they were electric ells:0) Also nothing like a moonless night 25+ miles
offshore void of pollution and glare. The stars can be seen the same
way Columbus saw them.

July Aug and early Sept is brutal here. The dog days have started here
with no wind, and punishing heat. Also a sign that hurricanes are soon
coming. Ugh ...Rita seems like yesterday and it was just a glancing
blow.

Remember; more people die from the heat in the Northeast than in the
southwest.

Take Care,
