SAILING GROUNDS
On hot days my wife sits at the bow and points out the biggest waves to
splash through. I like a little spray, I turn my head for the big stuff. Course bob claims you don't get any bow spray under 20kts. -- Scotty S/V Lisa Marie Balt. MD USA "Wally" wrote in message ...

Still, when you've been racing all day and have an hour or two of chop to plough through in a 22-footer, you can get too much of a good thing. There are times when it's nice to sit in the foulies and watch the cotton-clad hero sitting next to you get a soaking. ;-) -- Wally www.artbywally.com www.wally.myby.co.uk |

SAILING GROUNDS
moron, kayaking doesn't count (except in your universe) so I will leave that
out. NJ LIS Jersey shore Delaware River Chesepeake ICW. BVI Ft Lauderdale Charleston St Augustine Block Island Boston Plymouth Situate New Haven Greenpoint Maui Honolulu Medicine Lake Balsam Lake Charlette Amalie Upper New York Harbor Lower New York Harbor Acapulco South China Sea (but that was just swimming and killing) others Okay.... I'm taking a quick poll to see if Bob is the only poster here with such a limited sailing area. Please just give us an idea of where you've sailed, lakes, oceans, bays, countries...... I'll start: Great Slave Lake, NWT Hudson's Bay - Rankin Yacht Club Beaufort Sea - Tuktoyaktuk Bahamas, Eluthra, & Exuma Cays British Virgin Islands - all of it Jamaica - Montego Bay to Negril Brasil - Florinopolis to Bombinas and Porto Alegra /Recife American Samoa - Pago Pago Yacht Club Western Samoa - Upolu to Savai'i Tonga - Am Samoa to Tonga return [ Pago-Vava'u] British Columbia Nova Scotia New Brunswick Prince Edward Island Ontario Quebec I know it's not a lot and many have sailed more areas.... but compared to Bob.... !!!????? I mean let's face it... Bob hasn't even done a basic BVI trip on a charter boat!!! Bob can't use a Radar Bob can't navigate Bob can't sail into a slip Bob does try though.... lame as those attempts are in his very limited world of sail. CM |

Bob is terrified to sail into anything.... including a wind over 20 knots or
out of the bay. I have seen Bob sailing -- with his girls -- in winds of 30+, and gusting |

that six inch chop is a bitch, isn't it.
Sometimes it feels good! Indeed - I don't mind a bit of splashing and spray. It's certainly less of a drag than using a dinghy as a diving board.

We'll see how it goes - the plan for this season is to build experience by
crewing on the Sonata, while I work on my own boat. Once Hispaniola goes in, I'll be looking to get into some cruising says it all |

Sorry, Mooron. I'm afraid you blew it again. Not that your troll really means anything... NY Harbor aboard the Petrel as crew (71 foot yawl), my first sailing experience after learning on Sunfish. Trinidad and Tobago aboard a a real sailing skiff built in the 30's. I was 15. North Carolina, several outings on Hobie Cats and the Hobie monohull. Just a couple of years ago on the cat. Pocono Lake, Laser sailing. LIS, more boats sailed than I could count at the moment! Jersey Shore, Catalina 27 and Galaxy 32. Doing it again next week out of Shark River! Miami, in a god-awful Albacor, but later in a nice lightening. And speaking of Lightenings, we use to sail one along with a Chrysler boat on a PA lake that I don't recall. Rough times for you, eh, Mooron??? RB |
