Windy must be broken ? Loading up on fuel and Sailor Jerry's.
Anyone care to prognosticate on the weather and tides for the race ? It might be possible to drift into the viewing area of the Blue Angels fly over ?
I used to own the J24, "Road House Blues" (and later the Hawkfarm of the same name). It was raced in the MORA division. It was sailed to the Farallon's, Catalina, and Santa Barbara in the various...
Congrats Cliff on another passage.
Thanks for the photos.i said adios to Rainbow after tuning up some electronics at the dock. She, the boat, was very well prepared.
Anyone have Cliff's Inreach tracker page address ?
Hi Paul,
Hope all is well. The Pelagic has been revised since your purchase. You might want to give Scanmar a call and arrange an upgrade. Or you can direct message me here.

TEST 123 Tacking to Port.
THanks to Dave and the HMBYC for welcoming us all. It should be a fun event. I have an operational boat again and hope to make the finish line.
All,
Users of the Marine Traffic service - commercial shipping - will see your vessel and likely take note of the fact that you are alone. Maybe they will pay additional attention to your...

Tuesday, Feb 1 it appears a system will move through the area bringing winds with it. Hope to see a few boats out in the breeze.
That is great. I recall greeting light speed on a squally evening in Hanalai Bay a few minutes after crossing the finish line to the SHTP. A somewhat dazed skipper, shining a head lamp, dug out an...
Final Product , 8 coats of varnish and re sanding back to bare wood twice.
7000
Re sanded - re stained - and one pass with varnish - getting closer: 6982
Thanks Bob,
My boat suffers from lack of varnish care and here I am working on a trophy !
Maybe. Let me try another pass with sanding. Novato , while a nice destination, is a long drive from Los Gatos.
Thanks.
I sanded the old surface down to bare wood, thought I had all the old name plague discoloration worked through. Alas, a test coat of stain and they re appear ! Time for another pass at sanding more...
What year are you referencing ? This would be a good time to remove any boats that don't belong on the trophy. Everyone send in your lists :)
I still have all my fingers, proof positive she knows
