BTW do you feel safe sailing around a place called "Port
Hacking"??

What about 'Bloody Point'? Cape Fear?

I've never sailed around Cape Fear. Raced near it several times. But
it's one of those "soft capes" with no scary rocks... it does have
currents that drag you up onto it.

Bloody Pt is no big deal AFAIK. How about Sharkfin? Wolf Trap?

My personal favorite is Cape Lookout... aptly named!


Been around Bloody Point. Also in the Chessie, ''Point No Point''.
Wonder who named that?

Scotty

Yeah, but that was just a freak of nature...it's usually no colder than
Moscow in December...

Jeez, a postive heatwave!

Katy's being disingenuous, Oz. It was colder than the Yukon in January
this June in Michigan.

I thought the frost patterns on the combing were quite interesting...

Anything above 50 is positive...

Yeah, and it was a damn shame we didn't see much of that this past June,
eh?

You had frost on your hair?

Hint: it's coaming.

Silly! Simply add it to the spell check dictionary.

I'll bet it was fun clambering into an ice cold dinghy and rowing out to the
boat, eh?

Duh! Like I said, there is a water table. It does not vary more than a

Gotta agree with you there Cappy; when we had our well drilled the
drillers asked us where we would like our well and I pointed out a
location about 10' out from the house. The guy gets out his dowsing tools
(two pieces of coathanger wire) and proceeds to wander around eventully
stopping right over the spot I wanted, the wires suddenly cross and he
tells me I'm really lucky, there is water right where I wanted it. My
nightbors had the same guy do their well, same story, funny thing though,
the water in both wells was found at 65'! Uri Geller couldn't have done
better.

A 65 foot well?

I don't have much experience in drilling wells, but when I lived in North
Georgia in the Appliancian Mountains near Blue Ridge, they had to re-drill
to 3000 feet. They remarked about having to do this miracle, but I didn't
have a clew (nautical content) about what the average well would be...

I lived on top of a large mountain, and I guess it was par for the course?

LP

You get used to it...we were fortunate enough to get a spot on the dock for
the dinghy so ayt least I didn't have to get otu and wade to drag it
in....the trip back from the boat is almost always agaisnt the wind...if
there's waves it can be quite "fun" two strokes forward, one drift back....
