Well, with Heart of Gold back in action, I knew August is always a
questionable month for sailing with light air common on the LIS for
that month.
Well not this year! In fact this has been one of the sweetest summers
for sailing in a long time. I think we've had just a single day with
calm conditions. Yesterday was blowing 25 knots plus at Execution
rocks, but by around 1:00 it had calmed a bit and we had a great time.
The winds kept many sailors home, but if they'd hung around it became
a perfect day with about 12-16 knots and cool breezes. We caught up to
friends aboard their J24....

Sunday didn't look good. Predictions were 5-10 knots and when I
checked the link for Execution rocks it read gusts to 4 knots or
thereabouts. Well, Thomas and I met up with some friends and we set
out for a short daysail in dead calm conditions. A LOT of sailboats
were out. No one could fill a sail. We raised the main and waited 30
minutes...and it started to blow...5 knots...10....and finally gusting
to 13-14 and a nice overcast to keep the sun out our eyes. My buddy
aboard his fast Santana joined us....

snipped the rest

That video really stinks. T'aint nothin more pitiful than some lame
amateur video of a floating day care center with a cockpit full of plain
school marms. They're slobbering all over some kid. There's land close
enough to spit on and a smaller boat going faster. And, how can anybody
stand the non-stop hen clucking?

Arrrgh! Barf! You honestly think you can impress sailors with that
kinda garbage? No way, man! It's all too domestic. Might make a good
spread in "Woman's Day." It definitely doesn't belong here. No man
would post something like that seriously. It's gotta be just more
creative trolling . More proof that Capt. R.B.'s the life of the party.
He'll even debase himself to get bites on his hooks.
