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. Stay safe... wear your lifejacket! -- Nom=de=Plume Single handing is always a risk, don't forget your tether even if it doesn't look bouncy starting out... I am envious, I gotta work tomorrow, while your're having fun. Bah Humbug! Mike... ! If you have a tether, then I guess you don't need a lifejacket. -- Nom=de=Plume Did not go. *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.

I just don't seem to have all the problems you do with your "stuff." -- Conservatives are not necessarily stupid, but most stupid people are conservatives. - John Stuart Mill Well, why do anything if nothing unusual happens? Many trips are so ho-hum I forget them. Don't you like to solve problems? If things always went well all the time I'd be bored to death. |
