At last, temps in the 60s, wind, real wind out of the north. ?So,
tommorow, I sail my 28' sloop 36 miles west to get her bottom painted
in prep for sailing southward. ?Everybody else is in school or working
so I am taking the day off and going alone. ?I got an EPIRB, Hand held
VHF, VHF, phone, etc.
See y'all tomorrow night.

Stay safe... wear your lifejacket!

Single handing is always a risk, don't forget your tether even if it
doesn't look bouncy starting out...
I am envious, I gotta work tomorrow, while your're having fun. Bah
Humbug!
Mike... !

If you have a tether, then I guess you don't need a lifejacket.

Did not go. Got to the coast and tried to start the engine, nothing,
even with compression relieved, she would barely turn over. Brought
both batteries back to town, had em checked, both refused to charge.
Replaced em, may try again tommorow if the tides are right.
BTW, I am a safety fanatic. If someone is on my boat, they are wearing
a life jacket unless they are below. I always wear a tether when
alone or at night. Also have an EPIRB w GPS on my auto-inflate jacket
and a strobe.

You certainly seem to have your problems with boats, caves, campertops,
et cetera.

Don't take up golf...you'd be hit by lightning or eaten by a gator.

Maybe it is because I actually do stuff Harry. I do agree though, I
am convinced that if I ever golfed I'd get hit by lightning.


I "do stuff," too, Froggy. I just don't seem to have all the problems
you do with your "stuff."
