I'm spending part of today getting all the MC charges and receipts entered into my SHTP spreadsheet. I'm more or less on track. It's not as shocking as it might be.

I just discovered that my PLB...

There's a secondary lesson here, which I HOPE people pay attention to. After the complete obnoxious shitfit that I threw yesterday, and Bob calling for people to register, seven more people who...

I assume that the little information page that I made is no longer needed, so I will take it down.

I am still bemused as to why it took so long for such a simple, but vitally important change to...

Here's an information page, simple HTML that the SHTP 2021 link on the SSS splash page can point to for the next couple of weeks.

EDIT: URL removed and page taken down.

Yes, I'm a little...

I understand that COVID has made planning the race a nightmare. I get it. I totally understand. I appreciate the work that's been done. I know it doesn't sound like I do right now, Brian, but I do....

We don't need an entire WordPress website yet. There may not be a race. The WordPress site comes later. What we have needed for six months is so simple...it's SO SIMPLE. Just change the Goddamned...

Here's another vote for putting DH and SH on separate courses.....for all In-the-Bay races that have both DH and SH fleets except the 3BF.

Share a start line and finish line....fine. But different...

i registered. I haven't uploaded all the documents but I've registered.

And now I'm going to just say what's been boiling inside for about six months. I'm going to say what I've heard from at...

Being almost old enough but not quite...yet with questionable virility, who knows when my vaccination number will come up, but

just once more...

We don't HAVE to go to Hanalei. Sure, I'd rather...

I took the racing main in for a second reef point, today. The second reef will reduce the hoist by about 10 feet, out of a P of 29' 5". I'll have to get a trisail to satisfy the rules, but two reefs...

I'm in the camp that thinks that sharing starting and finishing lines is fine, but please send the DH'ers and the SH'ers on different courses with as little overlap as possible....3BF being the...

Wow, Just wow. I went to the REAL Intex company website to try to report the scam, you know...being a nice guy. Their customer contact form is programmed to remove your phone number, which you just...

Confirmed....Yes, it's a scam.

scam alert!!!

It's now Monday. The race was Saturday. I've now talked to two people, boaters who are longtime friends and oft-times participants in the SSS who have heard about the park-up at Southampton this...

Not race video, but sailing back down to Coyote Point on Sunday...

Entry-Exit boatside is a valid concern, I think. For someone with an Express 27, SC 27, Cal 20 other other low-freeboard boat, I think...no problem. Chris Humann had a Pacfic Seacraft Dana 24, which...

After getting absolutely HAMMERED coming out of Coyote Point on Friday afternoon (I had my 60% heavy weather jib up, and a reef in, so it was OK, just really ~Wet~) I was a little gun-shy on...

I usually try to schedule my SHTP Inspection about 3-4 weeks before the start. That way I have time to address anything big that appears. The three weeks before that are spent in a blur of "getting...

I know...well, I'm 97% sure....that if Hawaii 2021 doesn't happen, I'm not waiting for 2022 or 2023. However, after all this work, I'm taking the boat SOMEWHERE. Catalina and then to Long Beach is...

The Excursion would normally be priced up there with comparable Sea Eagle models. I notice that nobody is selling the Intex boats at these prices, I'd never have found them if I hadn't visited the...

Ever since I saw Chris Humann tooling around the fleet in 2008, I've thought that an inflatable kayak was the ticket for a shore dinghy in Hanalei, particularly on a smaller boat. I had an...

The first current option to going to Kauai is a preposterously...

OK, we're looking tidier for the Corinthian race. I've taken off the windvane. I haven't swapped out the rudders, maybe I'll get around to that before Friday, but the boat steers just fine with the...
