I would offer to bring Surprise! over but I'll be in final prep for our PacCup qualifier, which we're sailing the week of the 23rd.

Our SSS Commodore finished after midnight in 2017.

Extending the deadline just to 0100 would cover all finish times for the last ten years except for Geodesic, who finished at 0136 in 2016. I...

Cliff, thanks for the good information. It sounds like other than the Amoxicillin, I can add OTC items that will fill the void in my medical kit. All the pills (in their dozens of tiny foil...

Hi Mike,

Here's what I tried on Surprise!:

These were standard etriers that came in a velcro pouch with a...

Cliff, I'm glad you made it to shore without further problems.

Surprise! has an Adventure brand first aid kit. It's one of the larger ones but it doesn't include the dental care module. Any...

That's why I call mine a speedo - is that in there? This is also good for raising the eyebrows of newer sailors (usually followed by an eye roll).

My, weren't you up bright and early!

Research for a social media discussion about outriggers revealed that the equipment sections of the RRS were renumbered at some point. In your RR&C paragraph...

Greetings,

Some of you have asked why I haven't been updating this thread. The answer is I've given up and moved it over to Facebook. I can no longer include photos in my posts and the SSS board...

Too bad it happened but that repair looks great, like it was built that way.

We do tend to complicate our boats. I just installed the hardware for a reaching strut. Why I may need a reaching...

Cliff, you lift this "Sailing Tomorrow" thread to a whole 'nother level. Have a wonderful adventure!

Well-written Greg. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend and shipmate.

He's currently starting up the Baja peninsula with the big breeze ahead that we've had the last couple of days.

Uh-oh...

Ha! But knowing Cliff, I'll bet he filed in February.

I used to file in February. Then I retired. Now ours aren't done yet and we're going camping over the 15th. I should call my former boss...

Whew - it's currently blowing 28 kts at RYC with a 36 kt gust a bit ago. NOAA shows a 41 kt gust around the corner at Marina Bay and a 46 kt gust on the Benicia Bridge. That's almost as much wind...

Speaking of adding and subtracting, I just realized that Jessie is the same age in that photo as I was when we built the spars. Circle of life...

I'll pass on the bugs but Howard, your spruce and koa work looks wonderful!

Stephen, thank you for being faithful to those "work trips" so we can have the freedoms we enjoy, including being able to sail where and when we want. Your service is not taken for granted. You...

Absolutely.

The RYC Foundation has a nice Snipe for sale. It's very tempting.

I watched the promo video and agree w/Rob - instrument data logging appeared to be the only substantive add. Developing reliable polars while sailing solo has proven elusive, so maybe collecting...

Tack 18" off the deck sounds okay - you'll be able to sail deeper DW with the tack eased. Head 18" from the halyard block may cause the sail to oscillate but not too badly unless it's windy - just...

I agree with Solo. If the cooler and dinghy in your original post were from your boat, and you didn't need them any more, that's what this space is for.

Nonetheless your other posts are fine and...

These days you better not pick your nose or anything while you're out racing!
