Attention all sailboats in the Key Largo area.
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. Wilbur Hubbard |

Ah, Wilbur...
Too bad we're in the Bahamas (where we have similar conditions forecast other than the 75ish water). However, if we get to the states early enough, we'll have to dawdle our way north, and we'll be sure to make KL one of our stops...

In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's the charm of it. Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not." |
Oh well.

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.

It's easy to tell you are no sailor. In the above context, floundering means struggling while foundering means sinking. While my blue water Coronado 27 is, indeed, blindingly fast there is no way her wake is large enough to sink even your typical, flimsy, oil-canning Macgregor 26. Wilbur Hubbard |

It must be warm in S. Florida! ... it's only supposed to get to the mid-60s out here.. brrrr.... |

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. Wilbur Hubbard |

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. -- 47 is special |
