I sailed this weekend, did any of you pretenders sail?
If you've noticed I didn't post yesterday it's because I went sailing and anchored out in Florida Bay for the night. There's no wi-fi out there, don't you know. I decided to get out of the harbor because they were having a wedding at one of the motels and they play loud obnoxious music all hours of the night. So obnoxious these lubbers. A bunch of out-of-towners come and ruin the ambience of the Keys with their drunken debauchery. Sad. Why can't people be a little more considerate of their fellow man? But, I did think of you all and I caught up on my replies and even took some photos to show those of you who only dream about sailing what the watery world actually looks like from an anchored boat. I took a north, south, east and several west photos (Sunset) using my Ipod Touch. If anybody is interested I can upload them and post a link for your viewing pleasure. I really don't mind some of you living vicariously through me as that's probably as close to sailing as most of you ever get. Wilbur Hubbard |

Yep.
Winds 15 to 20, gusting to something obnoxious. But we sailed... -- Richard Lamb email me: web site: http://www.home.earthlink.net/~cavelamb |

... Yep. Winds 15 to 20, gusting to something obnoxious. But we sailed... Attaboy! Here the winds were light and variable in the morning but filled in nicely out of the east at 10-15 knots but steady and not gusty. Good afternoon for a sail. Sunny skies. High temp around 70. Even enjoyed a couple après-sail beers. Put a nice little pork roast on the barbeque and it was delicious. Wilbur Hubbard |

Wilbur Hubbard ====== Not me, the boat is partially disassembled and being prepared for painting. The old toe rail came off easy, channel locks and in pieces. Filling bunches of old screw holes, dings with West epoxy and cabosil. Sanding, sanding, sanding. So much fun... Please do post the pics. |

Me neither, there was a frost last night and today barely got above freezing. We did check on the boat today, though, pumped about half-a-pint of the salty stuff out of the bilge, opened the fore-hatch and let the breeze through for ten minutes. I also double checked what I'd done with the main halyard after removing the sails, 'cos I couldn't remember fixing it safe somewhere. Checked the mooring lines for chafe too, looks like I might need to swap 'em around soon. Bumped into a few people I know around the marina, shot the breeze, everyone's looking forward to spring so we can get out again. S'all right for those living in sunny Florida!

I did repair an anchor windlass with duct tape once if that counts. |

I found a 4 year old Tohatsu extra long shaft 4 cycle 6hp on Craigslist for $400. It doesn't have the alternator. Block was cold when I got to the sellers house and it started first pull, ran like a top, looked new under the hood (scratches and warn paint on the exterior) and nice and quiet. Wanted to buy a new one but I'm already spending a bit on the refit so I'll see how this one works out. |

It looked so nice and peaceful in those pictures but the wind was supposed to be out of the east at 10mph that night. So guess what happened. Starting about an hour after sunset, it blew out of the northwest at about fifteen knots so it was rock and roll all night long as the fetch from that direction was about half a mile. But, I didn't drag or worry about dragging because the holding is good there so nothing to worry about. Had the forecast been correct, I would have been in the lee of that little island in nice smooth water. It was nice and quiet there. I had to get out of the anchorage as they had a wedding Saturday night in one of the hotels on the beach and a VERY LOUD band with big drums and speakers and all. Too obnoxious! When you get really jealous and frazzled, you'll just have to come down for a vacation sail. But, no hanky-panky. I don't think my poor old heart could take it. LOL! Wilbur Hubbard |

Teak sounds nice.. also a very warm tone I bet. Wilbur Hubbard |

But, you have to watch the depths which are also listed on the electronic chart to make sure you don't run aground trying to follow a straight line to your destination. If the depths are dubious just zig and zag the course line and steer to waypoints to avoid such hazards.

Heh... snip Oh, here's the link again if you missed it somehow. http://captainneal.wordpress.com/ Yeah, weird... didn't see it before I think. Hey, you're not so bad... :-) Thanks, I think I put Bruce and Skippy to shame, for sure. LOL! I think it looks really homey inside. If I had to criticize something, I'd say get some different rugs. They look a little darker than the cushions and sort of draw your eye to them vs. the cushions. Speaking of those... do you stick to them when it gets warm? Perhaps they should be in covers. Then you could wash them if needed. The rugs have faded considerably. I've washed them and bleached them so many times that they are about the same color as the cushions. Besides, I only use them in the winter to keep my feet a little warmer. In the summer I roll them up and stow them away. When sailing, I don't use them at all as the footing is better using the non-skid surface that is molded into the GRP sole. As for sticking to the cushions when it's hot I do stick to them but I sit on a towell most of the time to keep from sticking. Actually, it's more like sliding around than sticking. LOL! At any rate, they are much easier to keep clean than cloth cushions. Just a wipe down with a sponge and a little detergent and bleach and water is all it takes. I can sit on them hot and sweaty and with suntan oil and I don't have to worry about them at all. Ok.. and a dumb question (I'm sure). What's the little things in the same picture that shows the two rubs on the left side near the stair step? Is that just a 110v outlet with stuff in it? You guessed it.

I can be stressed out about something and then go for a long, hard, bike ride and it gives me a chance to think things through and, combined with the physical exertion and endorphins in the brain, it puts everything in the proper perspective.
