Bart February 6th 07 06:22 AM

20 days in the Caribbean!
 
The deal has been made.

Soon I'll be off to the Caribbean for thee weeks!

I'm teaching a Bareboat class, racing in a major regatta, and
then cruising for 10 days.

I'm thinking I may try out one of those IC-24's for a few days
too. Has anyone tried one yet?

No kidding katy. It has gotten cold here. We had a mild winter
so far. Now the temps are below freezing and likely to stay
that way for a while. What is it like down south?

Cool deal Bart. If you get near Tortola stop in and say hi to our
good friend Capt. Louise. She's running a sailing school there but I
don't recall the name of it right now.

She's the cutie in the middle.

We're in the teens...frigid frigid...but no precip so that's fine...my
daughter called me last night and said that they ahven't been able to
get the snow off the foads for the past 3 days up in Grand Rapids and
that people are using their snowmobiles to go to the store!

Your timing is perfect, weather wise.

Yes. Significant ergonomic improvement over the old J-24. Otherwise
it's the same boat, a bit less powered up by a crew willing to suffer
to get weight outboard of the rail; the builders claim they are
lighter & stiffer than the old arched-deck design but I noticed the
deck & cockpit had approximately the same amount of flex and they seem
to sail exactly the same.

I hate when they can't get snow off my foad. But then, in general, I
don't hang my foad out in the snow anyway.

As for driving to the store in a snowmobile, been there done that.
Only I didn't have one of those fancy snowmobiles with the Rotax
engine, ski steering & tracked drive... I used a tractor instead.

Neal is jealous of anything he can't have. The last time he got laid without
it being a cash transaction, Eisenhower was still president.

Funny, as I was typing above post, Louise was sending Mike a chat
message. Here is her web site. Both Pat and Louise are great people.

How did you get that job? I could do that. I have plenty of time on
my hands plus it's too damn cold where I am.

world enoguh to destroy it...
