    Greetings SSSers. I am out doing my Navy thing and just generally missing sailing and solo sailing in particular. You can't be a solo sailor and near the ocean and not look out at the water and think...

    That's a good point, Bob. Taking time to test stuff out is probably worth more than just trying to knock out miles ASAP. Worth a thought! I was thinking of some kind of trapezoidal or triangular...

    I sailed with CHESS. Good bunch of folks. It is not as organized as SSS and has far fewer events that are nowhere near as well attended as our events. They're fairly spread out, too, with a good...

    1) if you want to absolutely ruin a beautiful start on this year's race, try leading your fleet at BH and then try getting to SH by going through Raccon. Thought the park up at SH...

    Oh, I certainly wouldn't propose for less than six weeks or so before the start--my angle on that anyway is it sounds like just the tune up I'd want. But I also enjoy bashing into the teeth of it...

    Shorter offshore races, anyone?

    I *really* want to go to Hawaii solo on my boat.

    Turns out my employer and my wife have some opinions about the three-plus weeks off that'll take, to say nothing of the investment. The boat will...

    Anyone looked into shipping home yet?

    My main issue with racing this year is time. I don't have the time to sail it home. Anyone coordinating for shipping deals yet this year? That's going to be the make or break for me.

    Great photos, thanks! A great crowd! Bob, I was bummed to see the division cutoff for 3BF was at 111--I don't feel like I'm racing if I'm not wondering where Bob is.
