to add insult to injury, i was in fairhope yesterday and saturday boatless...been in gulf shores since then watching the trees swing. can't wait to get home and hook the boat up. one of these windy days ed you need to fly down and extend your season just a little longer and get on a race or two...satisfaction guaranteed! believe me terry, i should have been there!...i do plan on getting out more soon though, we need to tear up matt's boat some more also!

well allright...it's saturday then!...perfectly clear skies, a little cool at 71 degrees, and a honking nw wind @ 20-25mph... the water will be slick close to the beach and somewhat smooth in the bay. skinny skippers, call your fat friends and vica versa it's time to test that standing rigging at full capacity. the king of tahiti aka capt backasswards(skinny friend) and i(vica versa) will be there, come on out! would be nice to have a chase boat in case we are drifting to the deep water horizon site unintentionaly

I dont know man, the last time i went out in 5-6knot i made it work for a little while.. the buoy said 4-6 for the whole duration we were out there but i just couldnt make it work for the life of me.
As we were setting up i saw a lead mine sailing across the horizon, but by the time we got out there he was furled up and motoring along
The water is SUPER chilly btw. Feels good with the wetsuit on, but still pretty chilly. -

this whole leaving the boat on the beach thing is kinda the beginning of a bad habit too

that would change my whole situation...do i join osyc and get a big boy cat, leave it on the beach, and drive the honda to the coast? or do i keep the trusty ole blue ribbon and fire up the z 71 and go secret spot... the truck uses about 10-15 bucks more in gas on the round trip than the accord and trailoring the boat does not affect gas consumption at all on the truck(boat and trailor so light you can't tell your trailoring anything)...it's still a road trip either way and secret spot is the easiest way to launch the boat in the world...no cattrax needed unless super low tide...i'm jealous! there is a possible third option...my brother is contemplating a move from miami to st. lucia v.i., it looks good in pics, already found the awesome beach there, sell everything, load a 40' sea container, rent cats during the day and find a gig playing bass at night....wonder what the wife thinks of that? prolly just drive the truck...easier.

heh, you still need a truck to haul big boy sails. You'd probably leave the rudders and boom on the boat at the club, but sails are still about 9ft long rolled up. Now, my car has a fold down back seat and i barely have room for a 7ft fishing pole. Food for thought unless the club has equipment storage.
