Bob,
I'm just heading out now. (SW winds 10-15 Knots, Seas 2-4 Ft)
I ride my motorcycle on the weekends - the roads are less insane than the
sailing waters in our neck of the woods.
If you want some peace, try sailing mon-fri.

sailed!

You ridiculous cheapskate? You've had you boat in the water
for about a month and you already have to clean the bottom?

What did you use for bottom paint? Sears Weather Beater?

Friday night we watched the fireworks at Rye Playland....lots of boats hanging
close so we actually started to sail back as they started.
Dropped everyone off at City Island, then anchored out for the weekend. Great
White shark spotted in Hamptons....made me nervous when we cleaned the bottom
of the boat.
Great sailing Sunday...finally slacked off at about 6:00 pm...

A month? Are you sure? Damn, you're stupid.

bwahahahahahahahaha!

Weather does look good, with the exception of lightning expected tonight.
Wonder how other sailors here handle the threat.

Good lord, don't get the resident puppetheads like Neal and Jeff started on the
lightening topic!

Where did you anchor?

Friday night we anchored near Capri, quite close, but clear of heavy traffic. A
lot of people were on the sound for fireworks. After dropping everyone off at
midnight we were too tired to sail the 2-3 hours we'd planned.
The next day we went to the entrance of cold springs harbor, which is a great
place to swim and hang out. There's very little traffic there most of the time.
Sunday we had great wind that lasted most of the day. The water's still a bit
cold, but it felt damn good anyway!
We're taking another short overnighter on Friday/Sat/Sun. Maybe the water will
warm a bit.

Tied the shore power cable to the dock so as not to dirty his "chromed"
anchor

Me? Talk about Lightening? I don't believe I've ever commented on it. But as long as
you're asking ...

I take comfort in the fact that no strategy has been demonstrated to work on a boat.
Since catamarans have the mast stepped on deck, and no easy way to feed a charge on the
mast into the water I choose to believe that the affects are totally random. About all I
can do is try to be located near something much taller than my mast and hope for the best.

I cleaned mine. But I use mine for racing. A clean hull is faster.

A clean hull is of paramount importance to be sure. But having
to clean it after one or two months in the water like Booby's
boat is indicative of lousy paint.
