Sailing
 

Went sailing this week, no need to kedge off the dock as my
Yanmar aux. started and ran fine. The wind was great , no
need to sail backwards. No need to argue ColRegs with anyone
as it was mostly other sailboats out. Didn't have to hear
any whining about handles left in the winch or the main is
sheeted in 2 inches too much. No rust to chip and no broken
bones.

No need for any skinny flat chested skanks onboard to ruin
scenery like this;

No need to ''screen'' any dumb Hollywood movies for I could
lay in my bunk and look at the Milky Way at night.
No need to worry about how much scope to use, as there was
only one other sailboat in the anchorage;

Just four straight days of great sailing, and I don't mean 1
hour daysails and returning to the slip each day.

Got to try out the new Genny that I made;

Why argue colregs. Listen to Jeff. He's the expert.

Nice peaceful little marina. Is it fresh or salt water? You wouldn't be talking about Capt. Rob's
model being skinny now would you? I think she's attractive. Small breasts are better than big ones....

Black boats are too hot in the summer time around here.....

YES! Capt. Rob is pretty clueless. He thinks sailing is a social gathering to brag about.

Wow! I'm impressed. You made that? Cool. Is it a kit or did you make it from scratch?
It's probably a Sailrite sail? Do you have their sewing machine too. Did you sew it or
did your wife or girlfriend sew it?
Great post Scotty. You've got sailing in your blood. I can tell. What kinda boat do you
sail?


Cheers,
Ellen

Who knew that The Loved One and Inherit The Wind were "dumb" Hollywood
movies or that anyone compared them to the Milky Way?

Live and learn...or in some cases, just live.

Fall sailing is the best, but the season is way too short and the water is
way too shallow. Sailrite?

Looks pretty good, Scotty. How big is it? Looks like 130
or under, yes?

Yup, better wind, cooler for sleeping, less powerboats.
Does your water shrink as it gets colder?
Sailrite, yup.

Fresh, with a little salt. It's a creek off the Ches. Bay.
Tidal.

Don't know.

Sailrite kit with one of their machines sewed by me. Sewing
is a very old manly tradition.

Pretty much, we were dragging pretty badly last Wednesday night, went down
to my boat and it looked pretty close to sitting on the bottom. Wind starts
blowing out of the W-NW a lot this time of year, which doesn't help either.
Great sailing tho.

Wednesday, we had a real low low tide from A Nor'wester cold
front, then a southern warm front blew through on Friday and
we had a super high tide. great sailing though. A bit cold
sailing at 1 AM.

That seems to be the recommended size for my boat too in a
RF sail. I'm a
bit reluctant to give up the 150 for those light air days,
of which we have
a fair number on the Sound even in the Eastern end.

Get an Assy for those days.
