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

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

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

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

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

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.

Yeah, well I sailed all weekend too, and I didn't have to teach my students
how kedge off the dock either. Today, we did reefing drills for 1/2 day.
That was a bunch of fun.

Hey Scotty, looks like the perfect and relaxing trip.

Just because the skipper of another vessel is an arse.. is no need to
call his passengers " Skank"...... just not nice...and in that case not
true.

The new sail looks great, but why do sail makers not take in account
the bow rails and let a sail bend around the rail is beyone me, seems
like that would screw up the effiency of the sail and cause chaffing.

You boat looks like it's in tip top condition, I'm glad you got her
back in the water.
