Last week we had one of the best night's of sailing all summer right in
the middle of our heat wave. But Sunday was even better! Winds were
about perfect ranging from 9-16 knots and we sailed close to Oyster Bay
and then back. At one point, with Suzanne at the wheel, we slowly
overtook a Catalina 40 which was under power. They looked pretty
surprised. Heart of Gold reached along at near 7 knots most of the
time.
On of our guests, with considerable sailing experience on dinghies
became totally befuddled at the wheel while closing in on a 30 foot S2.
While very close and passing he started to use the wheel like a tiller!
Suzanne jumped in and got us back on coarse...made for an exciting
moment as I think he would have hit the S2 otherwise!!!
Other than that funny moment, the boat was a blast. We cooked up dogs
and burgers and Thomas sat with Suzanne on the swim platform and never
wanted to leave.
If I live to be 100 I hope I can always sail....and I never miss a
season!

So I guess you had to spend Saturday sitting in your air conditioned
floating condo in that nautical ghetto due to lack of wind.


Nope. Suzanne had to shop for her Vegas trip and some friends came by
to watch boxing on the 10 foot wide screen!
Interesting fight...and another phoney set of judges. Ahh well.

We have a very nice family of swans in the Cove, but no manatees so far as I
know.

So it's not that you didn't have wind. It's just that you'd rather sit home
in front of the boob tube than sail?


The "boob tube?" What're you....70 years old? I like boxing and we also
screened The Horses Mouth. Something tells me you never saw it.

Yeah, it must have been "rough."

The DNR has been shooting some of the mute swans on the smaller inland lakes
around here. They've become more a hazard than a nuisance.

Ah, so now you're saying you had plenty of wind Saturday
but decided to sit
at home?

Don't forget Dave, it's still hot out, may have been too
'rough' for Bob to sail.
