Chill Bro...
Many of those views are from unregistered users who cannot reply.
I just saw them today. Nice shots, But next time can you get a litte closer?
looks a little on the light side as far as wind goes. How long were you able to stay with the fleet?

Too bad I didn't get my parts in time.., looked like it might not have been as cold as one would expect -- particularly with light winds.
Nice Pix.

Keep in mind, Robi, that most folks use the Forum during the week when they have fast access at work, rather than dial up at home.
Our logs show a definite reduction in hits over weekends.

AHHAHAHAHAH but with that one reply I got three new ones!!

In other words, my reverse psychology technique worked! I dont do it for the replies folks, I do it to show off how great South FL can be for sailing, specifically Biscayne Bay.

We didnt want to get too close, because the wind from the helicopter could have tosted them over, that would have been extremely bad!

I fly in the orange Coast Guard helicopter. Its called a HH-65-B Dolphin Helicopter. The one helicopter the whistles all over South FL.

Our tax dollars at work for homeland security. Just kidding, Robi. Thanks to you AND the Coast Guard for the pictures and for patrolling our coastline.

Chopper pix? Wow! How do you affor....Oh- I see now- The Coasties were there. Lend Robi a better camera and then crop them if you wanna see up close. Its better than in the Mug Race where the helicopter has blown over several spin boats.
Also I see Bret's yellow Marstrom A-cat with the blue chute keeping up well, then walking away going north? What will the Mug Race see this year? Bill Roberts watching the finish from behind?

What kind was the bigger cat (second from rt with the yellow spin.). It dosen't look like the std. beach cat, or my eyes are being deceived. It sure looks larger. The hulls look thicker than an R/C type boat. Anyone?

Being a Stiletto sailor myself, I thought it might be but wasn't quite sure.
