sailign season is here
At last, temps in the 60s, wind, real wind out of the north. So,
tommorow, I sail my 28' sloop 36 miles west to get her bottom painted in prep for sailing southward. Everybody else is in school or working so I am taking the day off and going alone. I got an EPIRB, Hand held VHF, VHF, phone, etc. See y'all tomorrow night. |

Got to the coast and tried to start the engine, nothing, even with compression relieved, she would barely turn over. Brought both batteries back to town, had em checked, both refused to charge. Replaced em, may try again tommorow if the tides are right. BTW, I am a safety fanatic. If someone is on my boat, they are wearing a life jacket unless they are below. I always wear a tether when alone or at night. Also have an EPIRB w GPS on my auto-inflate jacket and a strobe. |

Don't take up golf...you'd be hit by lightning or eaten by a gator. |

Seems like the tether would keep you with the boat. Well, I guess if it sinks, then you would. Do you have a satelite phone? I think I'd want one of those if I was out of cell service. -- Nom=de=Plume |
