Middle of Winter SSS cruise-out

[AlanH]

I think I'm gonna bring my E-rudder-in-the-making. The epoxy has dried, most of the flash is cut off and I don't think it will injure anybody. So y'all can see what I've been writing about, ad nauseum down below.

Carliane doesn't want to admit that aliens have homed in on the resonance frequency of Kynntana's arch and NASA is now reporting a large blue object orbiting Mars.

Aliens and NASA....sigh. If only it were that benign!

Great job on the rudder. Been following your Herculean work on it.

Word from the Sierra Point RC guy is that he forgot to tell the Club fleet about the event, so it'll just be us.

Here are his instructions.

I checked the tide and wind for tomorrow. Looks like your timing is good to get some flood and wind. As the day progresses the east side loses wind so I'd recommend staying to the west side, especially after you pass Hunters Point. Based on that I'd guess your fastest boats may be able to make it in 2 to 2 1/2 hours with the slower boats an hour behind. Sound reasonable?

I'll plant myself down there at 12:30 with a radio on channel 68, clock, and notepad. Please have your people call in 1 minute before crossing to identify themselves. Our finish line for your direction of approach is to take the #2 mark at the east end of the channel to PORT.

See you tomorrow. My cell phone is 650-291-4061

So call in on 68 when you get close.

To tie up, go in the south channel entrance. Stay left , like right on the seawall once you're in the harbor and fter a row of about 8-10 slips, you'll see the guest dock.

Neither the harbormaster nor his "assistant" have returned calls or really put forth any effort at all to collect their $10 so i wonder if they're going to bother.

Anchor down in Clipper Cove. Did we have a working channel for tomorrow morning?

Let’s say we do and let’s say it’s NINE. See you @ the entrance of Clipper Cove tomorrow @ 10:30, Rob.

Sorry I'm going to miss this. Was looking forward to participating and meeting some people, but other nonsense conspires. Btw if the guest dock is full -- happens surprisingly often -- I wouldn't hesitate to slide into one of the big slips you'll pass on the way to the guest dock. They've been empty for as long as I've been there.
have fun!

Alan, were you returning to Coyote Point around 1500 yesterday? I saw a boat that plausibly looked like Wildcat approaching your slip as my flight landed at SFO.

Edit: Belay that! I'm a day off. Presumably you're returning today.
