No Marty,

The Simian got us beat,hand down as far as sailing opportunities goes.

I keep my boat in the water year 'round and my winter sailing with the
pilothouse is a lot of fun. There is better wind and less crowds but I
don't have the sunshine. At Latitude 48 day lite is pretty short, as you
know on your Lake.

The Capt has long warm days the year round and longer days to play in
it. The bum can even swim in it all year. Even though I'll be sailing on
New Years Eve and day, it will be with my RED DOT heater going.

His season is longer

OT

True enough, but even had I a pilot house I believe that sailing in the
traditional
sense, would difficult in Janurary, Feb. and March when the water is
rather hard
in these parts.

As for the Crapton, while one can sail year round in his neck of the
woods, this in
no way implies that HE ever unhooks from his engine block.

I hate haulin' them out in November with freezing sleet and rain. I have to

high pay! New toys next year.

Actually the plan is not to haul at all this year. I've got this nice
little
retrograde bay (a bay within a bay if you will) that has about three
feet of
silt in it. As the lake levels drop the boat will sink into the silt and
a great
deal of the normally wetted surface will be high and dry. I'll string
about 50'
of deicing cable through the bilge and around the inside of the hull
near the
water line to prevent any frost damage.

I suppose that to Bobby Sue, it seems like Neal sails an awful lot.

neal sails several days a week and he does it all year. You? With your tiny
cabin you do mostly daysails, which you already admitted. We took plenty of
weekend trips over the past 5 months, while you ran home as the sun set!
C&C 27?

bwahahahahaa!

I took 3, week-long cruises this summer, as well as a slew of three
day weekend cruises.

Another lie. You already posted that you daysailed this summer.
Try again!

Hoooh ahhh!

Meanwhile, you are over in the C&C list begging for help because you
can't find Soundings Online!!!

It think it's definitely my turn to... Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Nope. The link you gave is one I had. It's just so terribly slow...as pointed
out by someone on the C&C board, I thought there might be a better link.

When's lift out for you Doug? ;-)

When needed for major repairs or bottom recoating. I expect to go at least three
years from our last haulout ( 3-03 ) so we should not be looking at the
tugboat's hull until some time until 2006 or later......

Once you get south of Delaware, there's no need to haul out for winter. Once you
get into the actual Sunny South, some of the best sailing days are in January or
February.
