Jeff's Big Wind or Hot Air?
The Kings Point station (about 1.6 miles south of City and Hart Islands) Hey, Jeff...have you EVER been sailing? Did you ever watch a boat a half mile away catch a strong bit of air while you ghosted along? Did you ever sail past a harbor and pick up a funnel effect? Have you EVER sailed on the LIS where winds are very shifty and vary in strength minute to minute on some days. Do you TRULY think that the Kings Point station had the same conditions we had a few miles away? How about on the approach to Huntington harbor or Oyster Bay? This sad attempt to somehow discredit my wind reports is lame in the extreme, not to mention ignorant. Suppose I was only in 13 knots or maybe it was 30...? The only reason you care at all is that we're out there most days sailing and loving it. And the rest of you....or MOST of you are sitting at home watching reruns of Antique Road show. I may be in the Matrix, but I do sail and prove it with Photos. I have no reason at all to believe that most folks on ASA sail more than once or twice a month! IF THAT MUCH!!! I think I'll STAY in the Matrix. It's a place where people own boats and actually spend time aboard them (Relax, Joe!). RB 35s5 NY |
