Flew in yesterday for a quick stop.

About a million messages...marked em all read after a quick scan that
showed you all running around snapping at Bubbles heels while he just
laughs at you all.

Seems cabin fever is rife!

Hope my houseminder hasn't been giving you grief again.

Flying out tomorrow morning to arrive in LA early Sunday morning then
off to Lake Tahoe for another couple of weeks of skiing, then down to
San Diego via a few days in SF and a week in Vail CO...

Anyone here live in San Diego?

Be good now!


Oz1...of the 3 twins.

I welcome you to crackerbox palace,We've been expecting you.

Hello.....Goodbye.

Dillon Reservoir?

Who in their right mind would own a boat anyway?

Amen!

Ah, Dillon. When I was a pro ski patrolman at Breckenridge, we spent our
summers crewing for a friend on his Ensign on Dillon. Amazing place. One
race started out with blue skies, 8kts., and temps around 70 (shorts, no
shirt) and ended up with snow and 20kts. When you see the snow beginning to
blow up on Buffalo Mtn. it's time to take down the chute. Great memories
from there.

Isn't there a decent sailing lake near Aspen as well?

Max

I knew you did! You accused Capt. Mooron of giving me your identity and
whereabouts, when we had never even discussed you. Remember that?

My girlfriend is trying to get me to go to Vail or Tahoe next week, but I've
been in the hospital for surgery and I'm just not up to it yet. She may
drag me there anyway...(long story)

I looked up your IP address years ago on a personal search engine that I
gave to Capt. Neal. Of course he blabbed it to everyone in a.s.a. and I was
rather ****ed about it. But I forgive him, on a regular basis...

There are no decent sailing areas in the mountains. The wind changes too
much. It's great to learn to read the wind.

Are you thinking of Ruedi Reservoir?

Actually, I think that sort of learning really makes the sailor. It's easy
to sail when you have steady wind from a particular direction. It takes
skill and patience to sail in air that is constantly changing both in
direction and strength!

Yup--that's it. Never been there, but we knew some folks who raced a boat
there. I seem to recall they had a Lightning. Sound familiar?

Never been on Ruedi. Sailed Lake Granby a bit. 8300 ft elevation.

Never been so I don't really know....

I spent an hour on Granby one warm summer afternoon in the mid-70s. A guy
we met there told me to take his El Toro out and knock myself out. Nearly
did with the low boom, but had a ball. Wind was about 8kts. and the scenery
is tough to beat. Paradise it was, that day. That was in August, and the
lake water temp was still in the low 40s.

The scenery is great. I've been caught out in thunderstorms on the lake. The
best sailing is on the east end. The wind travels in "slots" (because of the
valley) so you have to find the best location on the water. I also
sailboarded there with no wetsuit. It didn't seem too cold. The one drawback
is pulling a sailboat with a big iron keel over Berthoud Pass.

Amen!

Water temps vary radically at higher altitudes. Once, while backpacking, I
crept over a low rise and cast in some flies to see if I could catch a
trout. Got one bite and then the fish seemed to have figured out it was a
ruse--nothing after that. So we decided to take a dip in the lake, if the
water wasn't too frigid. Turned out the water was around 68 degrees (warm
for that lake) and refreshing!! One year later to the day we stuck toes in
the same lake and nearly died of heart failure. Temp that day was 38. That
lake was roughly at timberline. It all depends upon the solar energy
component--if cloudy weather is prevalent, the temps won't rise. We've seen
ice on some alpine lakes in July.

I've often wondered what sailboat would be ideal for sailing in the
mountains, that is, which boat would be reasonable to trailer, launch, and
still have enough stiffness to be comfortable and safe in the widely
variable winds and water temps encountered. Any ideas?

I didn't see what Jesus was obliged to forgive you for--I missed the earlier
part of the thread.

I was just challenging Mr. Crantz, who seems to have a direct line to The
Big Guy, to prove that Jesus hasn't or won't forgive you. He probably has
JC's cellphone number.

It's obvious. It's against god to pretend you're a woman when you're
actually a man.

Pager. JC only gives out his cellphone when the landline is down.

Crantz is fun to banter with sometimes. I just wonder what makes him
tick...
I have a direct line to God, and I don't even have to pick up the "red
phone". :-)
