Heart of Gold Sails on...and on....
"Capt. Rob" wrote in message oups.com... Well, with Heart of Gold back in action, I knew August is always a questionable month for sailing with light air common on the LIS for that month. Well not this year! In fact this has been one of the sweetest summers for sailing in a long time. I think we've had just a single day with calm conditions. Yesterday was blowing 25 knots plus at Execution rocks, but by around 1:00 it had calmed a bit and we had a great time. The winds kept many sailors home, but if they'd hung around it became a perfect day with about 12-16 knots and cool breezes. We caught up to friends aboard their J24.... http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/a...35s5/Week3.jpg Sunday didn't look good. Predictions were 5-10 knots and when I checked the link for Execution rocks it read gusts to 4 knots or thereabouts. Well, Thomas and I met up with some friends and we set out for a short daysail in dead calm conditions. A LOT of sailboats were out. No one could fill a sail. We raised the main and waited 30 minutes...and it started to blow...5 knots...10....and finally gusting to 13-14 and a nice overcast to keep the sun out our eyes. My buddy aboard his fast Santana joined us.... http://s196.photobucket.com/albums/a...nt=SantMov.flv snipped the rest That video really stinks. T'aint nothin more pitiful than some lame amateur video of a floating day care center with a cockpit full of plain school marms. They're slobbering all over some kid. There's land close enough to spit on and a smaller boat going faster. And, how can anybody stand the non-stop hen clucking? Arrrgh! Barf! You honestly think you can impress sailors with that kinda garbage? No way, man! It's all too domestic. Might make a good spread in "Woman's Day." It definitely doesn't belong here. No man would post something like that seriously. It's gotta be just more creative trolling . More proof that Capt. R.B.'s the life of the party. He'll even debase himself to get bites on his hooks.
