Happy Birthday Crewman Matt

A Los Nesporados Reunion

Every day on the water is different. There are good days, great days and days like today when you go out with your brother and two nephews, priceless. Sailor Jerry, El Jeffe and the Ranger met me at the boat after a morning surf session at Doho. They said it was waist to chest high and lots of fun. Once underway sailing, we popped the gennaker and enjoyed light 6-11 knot winds. It was sunny most of the day as we had our lunch and watched the dolphins play. Good company, good conversation, good God, let's do this again.

Live Free or Die!

Two patriots from New Boston joined the Admiral and I on a luncheon day sail yesterday. Weather was sunny with a slight chill in the air and the wind blew 8-12 knots. Captain Ken and Vice-Admiral Lyn are on their way to Yosemite, rough life. A good time was had by all with only one queezy stomach. SEMPER PARATUS !

April 8, 2010

Wow, what a day on the water. San Juan Jeff crewed this afternoon on a sunny, warm and calm day on the sea. Wind was 6-8 knots so we didn't break any speed records but the sunny conditions made up for the lack of wind. Water temp is still chilly, 59-60 degrees.

Genoa, Spinnaker, Gennaker...

On our recent crossing from Catalina we were able to fly our gennaker.

Q: What's that?

A: A sail that is the combination of a genoa and a spinnaker. It's asymmetrical, like the genoa, but larger and more colorful and flown like a symmetrical spinnaker.

This may be on the quiz next time you're on the boat.

Let's go sailing!

Avalon, Howland's Landing and Cherry Cove...someone has got to do it!

A Voyage to an Emerald Isle

The Admiral and the Capt enjoyed the colors of Spring and even got a glimpse of a bald eagle returning from Ballast Point.
