What is it like to be on a slow boat with a long tiller steered by four singlehanders in a small cockpit?

Nathalie gave me her storm jib. Said I needed one but I really don't. I'll bring it to the club, you can see if you like it.

Great idea, Rick! I'd love to read about your adventures down there, and see photos.

Gorgeous, Matt! Looking forward to seeing it!

Excellent news about the Mile Buoy off Santa Cruz, Skip. And I am so glad someone was available to photograph Sally on her laser. It looks like Inverness is ready to go in this new season. Great...

I'm sure you are looking forward to splashing down. We all are looking forward to it, too!

Next Saturday is the Bullship Run, 70th year of the "running of the bulls" (el toros) from Sausalito to...

Jan, you are one lucky Fiasco sailor. Still no shirt here. All those shirts crammed into my drawers? They are now collectors' items. Pat, seems to me you must have a lot of them. Ed Ruszel showed me...

The saga of the Fiasco shirt continues. A week or so ago I spoke directly with Ken at Pirates Lair, gave him my credit card # and he told me he would mail the shirt to my friend, Kees.

Today? I...

Last Saturday I saw lotsa little bitty boats leaving the Richmond YC harbor. DM and I tried to get out before noon but the wind was right on the nose. Ended up getting stuck partly because 1. there...

These photos are just terrific, Matt! Will you keep your new boat nearby or at home? I look forward to seeing you when you bring it to the water, christen and splash it. I hope you'll tell us when...

Ants, I am amazed that you never tried iceboat sailing. Maybe next winter.

Skeeter iceboat racing. The fellas I interviewed in Wisconsin seemed so mild mannered, so modest and polite. So normal. And yet they go out and do this. Go figure.

In Big Daddy we went clockwise, circled Alcatraz and - WAIT! WHAT!? - the rest of the world was on starboard.

If anybody knows this SSS-registered boat, here's a nice photo of his/her...

If this is a quiz and there is macapuno at the end of it, I finally know the answer.

That's interesting. Not ten minutes after I posted here Ken from Pirates Lair called me on my phone, took my order, promised to mail it to Oxford, Mississippi. Proof that there are still...

This post should be titled "What I didn't See", for the following reason:
My friend, Kees, flew out from Mississippi to sail in the Fiasco with me. He expected a tshirt, loved the one I gave him...

I went down to E Dock today to check on DM and noticed that Watson had gone missing aboard his own new boat, the nordic tug. Gone to far shores? Motored over to get fuel in Sausalito? Don't know. I...

Hi, Rick!
what is your new boat? where is your new boat? where will you go cruising? will you be in the DELTA this summer? if you will I'll see you there!

Bow to the wind. No need for a tow this morning so I hadn't turned her 'round.

I'm sitting in Dura Mater's cabin, toasty warm and dry, rocking and rolling in her slip here on E Dock at RYC. According to the wind doohickey at the entrance to the harbor the gusts are 27 knots and...

Nice photo of Marsha, Ants.
Howard's boat looks a bit like my first boat, a 15' West Wight Potter, which I sailed on Wisconsin lakes. Maybe Howard will bring his boat up, participate in the...

Good to know somebody is watching over you, Skip. :-)
