Default Last sail of the season...?

Yesterday was probably the last sail for th Heart of Gold in
2006....though I might squeeze in one more. For the first half hour
there was no wind, but it slowly picked up over the rest of the
afternoon....and then it got COLD! We did finally get to try out our
fancy sails.....

Your video was nice.
We you know something about the Beneteau 33.1 and 34.3. I planning on
buying a new boat before spring and the Beneteau 33.1 and Hunter 33 are on
my short list. TIA

Thanks!
The 331 and Hunter 33 are certainly good family boats for the money. My
general feeling has been that Hunter has stepped up the build quality
in the last few years, so if you're looking at very recent boats Hunter
may be a better pick, unless you have serious plans to race. Many will
say the Beneteau's sail better, but that may not be the only
consideration when choosing. I do prefer the Beneteau's looks.
You should try joining the Beneteau group on Google, it's the largest
and you can get better feedback there by far.

Good luck,

Crap! You have to use Macromedia's crapware to view them. God knows what
it's doing in background while you're watching the pretty pictures.

I was reading a NY Times news article the last time I had Macromedia's
crapware installed. There was a flash movie playing a spam that bothered
me reading, so I right clicked on it and a popup window asked me if I
minded the New York Times turning on my WEBCAM AND MICROPHONE SO THEY COULD
WATCH INSIDE MY HOUSE!

I spent another hour cleaning the crap off my machine. All of you should,
too.

Youtube can post mpg files....but then they wouldn't get the "Payload"
installed on your system.

Robert....sail her offshore to Charleston. Plenty of room at Charleston
City Marina. Tell 'em you want to be on J-dock where the nice people
live. Call us on 16 and we'll be standin' on the finger pier ready to
tie her up.

Come straight down the Charleston Jetties and take the port at Ft Sumter.
Easy to find City Marina just beyond the CG base. J-dock is 2nd from the
bridge on the other end.

Winterize.....how awful. Winterize in Charleston means we switch the
heat pumps over to HEAT from COOL where they've been running all
winter....(c;

BYOB appreciated. Hell, we got a nice CORA race on NEW YEARS DAY! Bring
that Beneteau down and have a go! Look behind you for an Amel Sharki
straggling along with a helluva handicap...das us!

Here's what we do in JANUARY!:

113865177510435822.html

Then, of course, before trudging back up Nawth in the Spring, you'll sail
her to Daytona Beach for a little peck at the Gulfstreamer, 225 miles of
great offshore racing to Charleston! I sleep for days after she touches
the dock...(c;
http://www.hryc.com/gulfstreamer.php

Oh, so pretty 200 miles off the Georgia coast wondering how much faster
she'll go!....

Worse than Active-X?

Why? Did they think you were doing anything exciting?

Umm, I don't keep my computer in the bathroom...

I know what you meen though. It takes regular pruning to
keep all the garbage-ware from hopelessly cluttering ip your
computer, and WinDOZ doesn't help. For my next machine, I'm
going back to a Mac.

I've been running OS X for 3 years now. The only time I use the Windoze
box is to play with Hulls or deal with the braindead intranet web site
at work.
