The barge is anchored in the Bay Ridge Flats. a shallow area of the
harbor where tugs park their loads. Bob is sailing s/e. In the
background is the Brooklyn Army Terminal , Owls Head Pollution Control
Plant and the North West Coast of Bay Ridge, north of the 69th st. The
J 24 is probably from the NY Sailing School .and is juking around in
the flats practicing tacking.

Bob, you should have come out. The wind in the Lower Bay was 15 to
18kn South, steady all day. I made two circuts from Gravesend to
Raritan to Atlantic Highlands to Rockaway Pt to the Marine Parkway
Bridge and back along the Coney Island coast to Gravesend, calling you
every hour on the hour on 72. Great sail. Where were you?

Hey Youse Guys,

Take a better look at those pictures and the background. Nutsy, I think
is pulling a fast shuffle. When that barge or what ever is farther away
there is no red boat. As he gets nearer there is a red boat ahead of
him. I do believed he has been overtaken and been past on the lee and
is loosing ground to the poorly, overloaded J24 (if that is what it is)

And so much for pictures from Nutsy to prove a point

Some one besides Nutsy, confirm what I'm seeing or tell me I'm full of
**** . Not you Nutsy, we're talking about you not to you.
