On my first solo race, and still new to Kynntana, I was motoring out of the Estuary to the start of the Vallejo 1-2. I glanced over and to my horror saw the BBQ grill was still attached to the railing. At the time, my old AP would work until it didn't and then the boat would round up. Needless to say, it took a while to get an allen wrench out of the toolbox and as I was holding the BBQ in one hand, the screwdriver in the other and trying to keep everything going overboard, the boat rounded up again near Jack London. Somehow, I managed to keep it all together and only lost one of the screws, which I still have not replaced. I've been thinking of reattaching the BBQ and scooting out to the Channel Islands and Drakes Bay next year. Never been to Tomales Bay and I never pass up an opportunity to spend the evening in Half Moon Bay.
Bob, I think you should quit fighting it and learn to love your cabinets like I absolutely adore my Corian counter tops. The snickering will subside eventually as people move their focus onto some other squirrel
I love this thread as well as the idea of the SSS Croozing Society (SSSCS has a nice, slow ring to it).
