Oh, yeah...I forgot to mention...we are now
living aboard Chanteuse,

Oh jeez..... Capn Neal will have convulsions! :-)


We're just taking life esasy for right now and staying away from going out
into the Atlantic....the weather off Cape Hatteras to Cape Fear is
frightening....45-50 knots with 20 foot waves. Not what I want my first
encounter with the Atlantic to be!

Oh come on now.... come up here and we'll do some of that weather in
Overproof..... it's a sail in serenity. We won't even take green water in
those conditions.

We've met a bunch of lovely people,
including one Doug and Kathy King, who are great folks, interesting to
talk
to, and enjoyable to be with.

One of these days I's like to have that pleasure myself.

Have also met some friends of Michael Ortin's
(Schoonertrash) who sail in this area who are very pleasant people too.

Where is Schoonertrash nowadays?

Chopper likes living aboard except that we're always having to ask him to
move since the aft cabin has become the closet/storage area.

Big Dog ...... you'll need a Nautor Swan 40+ next.

Good to see you back.

Weather forecasters are predicting steep breaking
waves in the Gulf Stream and roll-over conditions
for boats under 40'.

One friend of mine has been waiting for a weather
window for weeks and plans to leave Saturday.

Sounds like Overproof weather all right. The Gulf Stream may add the
cornholious effect to make things interesting. 20 ft breaking steep waves is
one thing... combine that with 40ft swells and add a new dimension!

They pull drags & trawls in those conditions up here. I have friends who
shuck scallops in worse weather. They go out a month at a time in 40 ft
boats.

Has your friend referenced the pilot charts for this season? Not heading
North I take it :-)

Yeah, well, I have friends who do strange things, too but that doesn't mean
I have to follow suit. You just go on out there and have fun for me.
