We certainly stayed and spent a bit more than we did in most towns down the ICW (alas, only to Beaufort, NC before having to turn around to go back to work). Work is the curse of the sailing class. |

Work is the curse of the sailing class. It was today and will be tomorrow. I had to go work on a few backed up organs....instead of going to Flying Pig to watch Skip work in the hot engine room....(c; Larry -- They still haven't seen much of Charleston, dispite my dragging them around to look during our "parts excursion tours" to Waste Marine, Home Depot, some obscure car repair shop where the sailor-owner gave Skip a free 70A alternator, Carolina Auto Electric where the new 94A Chinese monster came from. 94 amps sure helps have a little overhead to run a few toys while the beasts are charging at 75A for hours on end. Amazing what a new alternator can accomplish over one 25 years old....but overhauled and jerry-rigged. |

Somehow I've got to teach her not to pinch so close! Just haven't figured out how yet. |

There's more than a few sailing magazines that could benefit from you talent. |

: I went sailing. Wednesday night races. Finished dead last. Somehow I've got to teach her not to pinch so close! Just haven't figured out how yet. On Lionheart, we're used to watching the fleet sail away from us, no matter what we do, unless it's really rough. Of course, if that happens, they cancel the race when the big ketch is at her best. Our handicap is so big, we can still place fairly well, even if we arrive hours after the race committee has gotten drunk at the bar and has gone home....(c; Larry -- While in Mexico, I didn't have to press 1 for Spanish. While in Iran, I didn't have to press 1 for Farsi, either. While in Florida, I had to press 2 for English. It just isn't fair. |

Not so much the rough weather, but the huge handicap. The club has two fleets, A amd B. The A fleet (the FAST boats) run two laps while the B fleet runs just one. I figure if I can cross the finish line before being lapped by the leaders, I won! We've managed that exactly once. But it was a great race. Richard |
