I can imagine how much fun you must be having up there in that wind. As for the Farallones race tomorrow? This is the site I use. NOAA forecasts and Windy.com are scarier.

That looks very fast, Howard! I hope you don't get any road rash. Have fun!

I checked again and realized that Dura Mater and I have finished the Farallones TWICE and both times after midnight. That means that if there is a midnight cut off, well, that would not be good for...

She's a beauty, Alan! Where will you keep her?

Ray Irvine gave me one of his trackers early on and hasn't asked for it back. I just leave it on my boat plugged into one of my two usb ports. It is a coastal tracker, though, and I don't know if it...

Hahaha, GBR 3068. So you have spent thousands of hours with your head down, searching on the internet instead of just posting here or coming by to talk with someone. What does this make you? A...

This race is 75 nm out and back and there are lots of people from SSS races participating. Sea Star seems ahead, @ 5:45pm, location = 37.68,-123.07; wind is only 9 knots out there, the boat is going...

This forum. 2014.

Oh, gosh! Monday morning at work: But wait! I have something more important to do! Gotta look up arcane words.

Redundancy is good. Oranges are tasty. If you have a handheld Garmin with plenty of batteries, an inexpensive tablet with a chart plotter installed, and a Standard Horizon radio with AIS and GPS,...

me too!

Don't know how many of you have been following Cliff Shaw s/v Rainbow? He has diverted to Honolulu, and is asking whether there are any SSSers thereabouts who can advise him regarding berthing.

Congratulations, Greg! Congratulations,Skip, for fooling us all almost all of the time. It gives us the chance to come out and play!

Thanks, David

Little boy blue,
Come blow your horn,
The sheep's in the meadow,
The cow's in the corn.
But where is the boy
Who looks after the sheep?
He's under a haystack,
Fast asleep. Mother Goose

While I am not sure how I feel about being referred to as a "backstay flicker", which sounds vaguely obscene, I will take a guess at the buoy of death. Having visited the CBC, I recall a big anchor...

That is a really nice website, makes the events and the locations look very appealing. Who is breezetrees, please?

SACTSCA what is that?

Aaaaauuuggghhh! That top boat looks uncannily like Dura Mater. How could anyone bear to part with such a beautiful vessel?

Too bad your account doesn't let you post photos. Good thing I can see Surprise! from my boat. Personally? I think the business of communication is better handled ... well, in person.

Congratulations, Todd! Not only are you safe, but your fingers still work! And you're not collapsed in your bunk. Very impressive! When you get a moment maybe you can tell us more about your...

Wow. That's a fast boat.

First thing I did last night was look at the Windy forecast for this area. Yikes! It certainly didn't look good. Looked RED. Then, when I looked this morning at Todd's tracker I waited for you to...

Thank you, Skip, for bringing Gwendolyn and Todd's qualifier to our attention. I wish them all the best and look forward to seeing them in Hanalei Bay next summer!

Cliff Shaw seems to be west of Baja. While Rainbow is not (ahem) a particularly fast catamaran, it seems to me that she is making good time. Not fast, not slow.
