Cut the Mustard is going sailing Monday with a brand new bottom paint
job.
Bayside, Key Largo area. Buttonwood Bay and thereabouts.

Challenge me at your own risk. I will, no doubt, leave floundering in my
wake any sailboat up to and including 32-footers.


The weatherman becomes more and more inept. NOAA marine forecasts used to
be
able to predict the winds pretty accurately, but not any more. The last
couple of years they really SUCK at it.

Tow days ago they predicted winds out of the NE at 7-14 knots, one day ago
they predicted the same for toady and all day there has been light and
variable conditions. Too frustrating to even try sailing in light and
variable crap so, after waiting all morning for the winds to fill in and
they never did, I gave up on sailing for today.

I guess I'll just laze around the cockpit and drink a six-pack of cold
Yuengling Traditional Lager. Good stuff.

I've never had the traditional lager, but I had the Black/Tan last
year in New York. It must be warm in S. Florida! ... it's only
supposed to get to the mid-60s out here.. brrrr....




I was impressed at how tasty the Traditional Lager is. Price is reasonable,
too. It was on sale for ten bucks a 12-pack of bottles or cans. The bottles
drink better.

My outside temperature reads 78.8 and the inside temperature reads 78.4 at
15:56 EST. Water temp is about 65 degrees because of the cold snap a week or
so ago. Next cold frontal passage is supposed to be this week-end.

I don't think Yuengling is available out here. Whenever I go to a
party, it's always wine, wine, wine. Never a beer or a decent one
anyway.

80... sigh.. I hate cold weather! I think I need a warm vacation, but
work is work.

Do you think you'll get wind for sailing when the cold front arrives
or will it be too much? Not really familiar with the weather down
there.. all we have here is fog... endlessly I think.
