Great Job,

Jan gave me 5 file boxes full of "Old SSS Stuff" when we cleared out the storage unit. There is probably a lot of historical information in there but I haven't really looked. I need to get this to...
WoW! Tinker just can't catch a break this year. In the water or out of the water larger boats seem to be attracted to my little blue Wilderness. That's the third collision this year and no one was...
Sorry for the delay in posting the RRC for 2014, I've been sick. The 2014 Singlehanded TransPac Racing Rules and Conditions that Lucie sent to me on Oct 9th are now posted at: ...

If you haven't seen this already, a very nice list of lat/lon for YRA marks was put together at: https://github.com/nkiesel/YRA-Marks/blob/master/San_Francisco.csv
I took the list and generated a...
Carroll E and Maris are the remaining racers this evening. Still need a report from Carroll E for tonight. Archimedes just finished. Pogo finished a little earlier.
I'm a little beat up from...
Mirage sent an email last night 2AM
I was again unable to control seasickness and one of its effects was that I couldn't operate my SatPhone. Every time I looked at the buttons I started to throw...
Here are a couple more Gribbs for today in the morning and then 12 hours later. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the time stamp is GMT time and we have to subtract 8 hours.

Since my Google Calendar is all messed up now, I almost forgot that the Farallones trophy meeting is tonight. See those that make it there tonight.

With the Wilderness 21, I left the 2HP Honda Longshaft outboard motor on the transom motor mount for the race and it was fine even with the choppy conditions and a few waves lapping up (not breaking)...
What a great day to be out sailing on Saturday. Thanks to the race deck and all those at the SSS involved in making this race happen. I know it must have been frantic to pull off the last minute...
Keep the anchor handy to prevent going over early and not being able to get back to the start line.
I asked Jim about posting the slides last night and he gave me the OK to post on the SSS site. I'll make sure there is a link to the slides in a few places online later today or tomorrow.
The...

What a blast that was to Vallejo.
Thanks for the offer of repair materials and all the moral support from the SSS forum & members. The...
It's been a busy week by the hoist at the Alameda Marina.
I've had a lot of good advice from people hoisting their boats about fixing Tinker. I'm sure there are some boat builders that...
What a great picture Greg. Thanks for that. If I could have my wife express in a painting all that is shown in that picture, it would be a great work of art.
I have had some difficulty...
The deadline is May 29th for LongPac entries. The entry forms are now posted online at: http://sfbaysss.org/longpac_2013.html

It doesn't really matter who is on the starboard tack and who was at fault when there is a collision because it's always bad for both boats. Because my boat is small and maneuverable, I've short...
The Round the Rocks Trophy Meeting Date is May 8th. This will also be the Singlehanded Farallone's Skipper's meeting. The SSS calendar has been updated.
