Jonathan: I sent a regular email to your Hotmail. Cliff
-Two West Marine Starting 1000 batteries. 1000mca, Group 24. Purchased new Oct 2022, always properly maintained by high quality automatic marine charging system, never heavily discharged. Maintenance...
Bob: I/North reached a similar conclusion regarding the geometry of the reef tack stresses -- North will probably reposition my reef tack points slightly aft to gain more forward pull, so hopefully...
Rainbow lies alongside at Waikiki YC after a fast , sometimes rough, broad reach in 18-27 knot NE trade winds from the turning point. Often reefed to slow down a little when the seas were rough, full...
Thanks Bob! Yeah, tomorrow!!! Can't believe I'm doing this, but the butterflies tell me it's so.
Thanks, I look forward to seeing you & Kynntana! Should hit the bridge about 1330.
Thanks!
Thanks Bill!
Thanks Greg!
Thanks Brian. I wondered if it might be a racing innovation. Not really what I want on a short handed cruiser, though I did like the feel of a little more power in the main. It's too late to fix...
Almost ready to go! Two little corrections: -My InReach tracker is at share.garmin.com/CliffordShaw ( the slash was shown backwards).

This from Rainbow, not really a reply to Submarino's post, but I couldn't figure out how to start a new thread:
After several days of slow, cold sailing under a gloomy overcast, well West of L.A...
Hey Rob: go to sfbaysss.org, click on SHTP 2021, then scroll way down and click pages 2, 3 & 4 for skipper bio stuff.
Thanks Bob, I'm good on the other parts. Cliff
Hey Bob: Good news that I can get a S/S propane gauge to replace my rusty one ---- but I'm not finding yours in the McM catalog. I'm only seeing ones for other types of fuel, not propane unless I...
In case anyone else is confused, as I was, I finally figured out that even though Jibeset still says registration is closed, the "Update" button is live, and the final fee can be paid, registration...
I found my insurance company (GEICO) interprets their language to mean the policy becomes void and is automatically cancelled for breach of contract if I leave the covered area. They don't consider...
14 now with Rainbow.
Brian: Here's the link to US Sailing's on line courses. I have a certificate for the full 15 units, plus the textbook. Cliff

I'm definitely interested in racing, hopefully to Hanalei. If still in place, does it appear the "resort bubbles" thing would apply to the racers, or just to family/friends flying in?
Also, any...
I'll be there Wednesday -- looking forward to seeing everyone. Cliff, Rainbow
Brian: FYI, not all may know this: even with the DT set to 30 minutes, it reverts to 4 hour intervals to save battery power if the unit does not see movement between pings. So for Sunday's test, we...
Bill: Santa Cruz Harbor offers very good shelter, but call ahead (831-475-6161) or VHF 9 or 16 to inquire re: entry bar conditions/closure. Shouldn't be a problem to get in now though. Santa Cruz...
Hi Mark: I'd like to talk with you about the return trip -- will you be at the meeting/seminar tomorrow (Wed May 16)? If not, please call so we can chat. Thanks, Cliff Shaw, Rainbow Crowther 10m...
