Cap'n Mom

Here are Mom at the Helm and Mom in Foul Weather Gear. (In the latter, just relaxin', got her feet up, givin' Dave some advice on how to steer the boat...)

Stars and Stripes

Not only should there be good pics of mom at the helm, but there should also be pics of two America's Cup yachts, Stars & Stripes and Abracadabra, sailing right along side us. Mom actually held off Stars & Stripes for a couple of miles on a downwind course until it finally caught and passed us. We also had a tall ship, the Californian, sail past us in the ocean. I think the best pictures may be on mom's camera.

more photos please

heard there were pictures of mom at the helm, we want more pictures! i'm planning on bringing TOOLS to the shore to work on drying out the red storm. i figure with the blazing sun down there we can dry her out in no time including the foam blocks which are most certainly saturated and contributing heavily to the weight issue.

Cool!

but what are you going to do with it after july and is stuart buying one too? wow.

Inside the Inside Information

Or, to be more direct, I did buy a new boat (with racing sail). It'll be waiting for me at Hance & Smythe when I arrive in July.

Inside Information

Cher is no longer the new kid on the block

I Give Up!

What did you do today? Buy a new boat?

Guess What I Did Today

Well, let's just say that my sunfish won't be taking on any water this summer......

Congratulations Emma!

A R

It's not all yachting and crabbing at the MSYC. There is also Argentine Rummy ! Last night Mom, Dave, Emma and Ross played a round (Mom is here in San Diego for Emma's High School Graduation) and the lady from New Jersey won. Dave second place. Emma and I both got caught with huge points on a couple of hands. That three 3's!!! My Waterloo again.

Possibilities...

There are several interesting possibilities on ebay this week.

here are just a few of them...

1 (I have an extra sail)

2 (Sullivan County?)

3 (Sunny's cousin)

Boat Repairs

If the rumors are true (and even if they aren't) here are some tips on drying out Red Weather for its next owner. Not that i want to make Red Weather any more competitive or anything but it's distracting to hear all that water sloshing around in the next boat.

drying her out

installing the ports

of course you may have to come out a few weeks early in order to accomplish all the above.

Boat Rumors

So what about these rumors of new boats for the '04 season? I've heard Rosemary, Stu and Dave. Anybody placed any orders yet?
