Actually, I think Dave and I were sitting just outside of this picture. We were part of the crowd watching the eleven boat fleet of rc44's compete in San Diego Bay on Sunday. Exciting racing, especially during the starts when the boats were going past us only a few feet away. The regatta winner? The Russian boat!?!

We made them using leftover stuff we had laying around...  And they did quite well.  Rosemary wanted to let them go and see if they would make it to the Connecticut River.  The girls (Maud and Harriet) named them "Pizza" and "Chopper".

Appropriately, Katydids belong a group called the singing insects. Somehow it read Lauren's sign and then came by to enjoy the sing-a-long concert by the Deck Rats. There are more than 300 different kinds of Katydids. I'm guessing our visitor was an Angle-winged.

In the absence of my regular crew, Emma sailed with me in last Tuesday's Harbor Sailboats races. But I pulled a swicheroo on her — I asked her if she wanted to steer, and to my surprise she said yes. So it was all up to her (albeit with a little advice along the way), and the result: Second-place finishes in two of four races, and tied for second overall. She left some veterans wondering: Who is

Just ate lunch at "Jersey Mike's" in Solana Beach CA. I had a "Jersey Shore's Favorite" sub (provolone, ham, and cappacuolo) — not a White's, but it whets the appetite. On the sailing front (as Ross may already have told you), we west-coast sailors took first overall in the Harbor Sailboats summer regatta. It's almost time to see how we stack up against east-coast sailors....

Memorial Day weekend marked opening day on Long Beach Island. Beautiful weather - hot and sunny. The water was cold - but we all got in. The sailing was sublime - a nice steady breeze from the east led to an easy sail from the Barnegat Light public beach all the way to the osprey nest and back. And, of course . . . White's.

Thank you, Ross, for sending us our Yankee Swap gift. I'm sure we'll be seeing it at the shore. And in a little preview from the game, which we played tonight, I give you a question from the "Third Grade Poetry" category:In the poem "Eletelephony," which one of the following doesn't the elephant try to use?A.

Dave and I were out sailing last Tuesday afternoon on S. D. Bay.Tuesday is widely considered the third day of the week, however, according to international standard ISO 8601, it is the second day of the week. It was named after the Old English god Tiw. Tiw is a god of war and law, or, in other words... sailboat racing.As we were preparing for our Tuesday p.m. races a rather large nice looking

Keeping with the Halloween theme of trick or treats, monsters, scary things and all that, I offer the following true story. Somehow, Vanessa and I have become interested in Dracula and vampires. Suddenly vampires are everywhere in the media, Twilight etc., so why not? We both read a book titled ‘The Historian’ several months ago which was a modern Vlad the Impaler / Vampire story. We decided

October 31, Halloween, the day you're supposed to don a costume and make the rounds. So Ross and I (in the company of a friend named Alistair) put on our sailing costumes (in my case at least, that would be whatever happened to be handy when I got out of bed, plus a Sunfish cap), hopped on a boat, and went tricking out into the Pacific.What treats we got!First, the day was beautiful for sailing —

Here are a couple of boys working at keeping their boat flat in the water. Ideally, the crew on a boat like this totals a minimum of six, but we had only four, so that (and everything else, especially spinnaker stuff) actually was hard work. Kinda fun too, though....

The Winter 2009 Capri 22 series — four Saturdays of sailing — involved a mess 'o boats (seven on each of the first three days, five on the last, not always the same boats), but in the end it came down to three of us: Ross and me, Lisa Karmel, and Dennis Burks. In eighteen races, the three of us took the top three places eleven times, and in the remaining seven races, two of us were among the top
