Too much flat calm weather lately.
So you have trouble making your boat move in light wind? Any one can make a
sailboat move in a blow, light wind is what sets good sailors apart. "Simple Simon" wrote in message ... Dear Pitiful Group, The Bay looks like a mirror again this morning as it was yesterday and the day before and the day before that. It looks like southern Florida is doomed to a summer of doldrums this year. Even the tropical depressions fall apart as they head this way. It's disgusting! The only good thing is these periods of light wind and no wind tend to be evened out by periods of moderate to heavy winds. I'm hoping for some good reliable winds this fall as I'm weighing for another extended cruise to the Bahamas at the end of hurricane season (Nov). While most of you sorry losers are abandoning your boats on the hard for another long, cold winter with bouts of colds and flu, I'll be sailing the Bahamas once more enjoying the sunshine, balmy breezes, crystal water, good company (real sailors - unlike what passes for sailors in this group), excellent fare and good cheer. I've so simplified my life that I have only a dentist appointment in September (routine cleaning - my teeth are perfect like the rest of me) to occupy my time. This and I must do the paper work to renew my Master's license which involves a physical exam and a little pencil pushing. The only other chore on the list is hauling and renewing the bottom paint. No sweat. I think I'll even put off getting new working sails so I can check out a Bahamas loft or two. Sails might be reasonable over there since the labor is cheaper. There's still years of life left in my present sails in spite of what a bunch of arm- chair losers on this group say. Ah, life is good. That's enough about me for now. I don't wanna make too many of you lubbers envious or too many women salivate. Ta, S.Simon |
