Default The Un-Wind

Yesterday was the most windless day I've ever seen. I saw reports of a
few knots but no one could sail at all. We tried for about an hour and
half before crying our way home. Drifting by other boats did allow for
some odd photo's though!

That's some girl on a Catalina shot with Nikon D80 and Nikon 70-200
VR-AFS lens.

Today looks pretty dead as well. Ah well.

Why do I get the feeling that Bob has a hidden camera in his
bathroom?

You have never seen a day with no wind at all? Water like a mirror?
Bwahahaha

Not on the LIS and lasting all day. We usually get some breeze at some
point. I spoke to people who were out all day and they were all
surprised that it stayed like that. My friend with the J29 went out at
4 to catch the thermals....and zilch.

The Harvest Moon Regetta was a bust here as well. 2 kt winds, picked
up a bit the died off, Most gave up and motored to the party. 150 miles
offshore with no wind makes for a long race. A New York 36 won...go
figure a tender LIS Boat has a purpose after all.
