I hope you guys had a great day. My wind chimes were dancing!!! I spent the day working on my new old Nacra 5.2 and watching Tiger and Leftie. God day but I would rather have been with you on "The Bay".,,,,,,
Well the wind started fine, then it totally died out. A good majority of the sailors just paddled towards the beach. Not really worth it with huge power boats passing at 10320934KTS and only 10milimeters from you.
Then as soon as we hit the beach, the wind started picking up. I sailed with a fella named Ron, on a Nacra 5.0. Had tons of laughs and good conversations.
See you next weekend at Delray?
Was her name SATORI,she came with a Square top possibly ? Bob G. DSYC
yes...... How do you know?
OK, you left me hanging here. How does the story end? Is Bob G the previous owner of Satori? Did this get resolved in the PM realm? Is SATORI a world famous moviestar cat? Has she been buried for decades and finally unearthed to reveal a hidden treasure in her hulls? Is BobG the son of the famed cat sailor and gold smuggler BobG Sr. who at his death bed revealed to his son the existance of this sacred cat, but did not quite get out the exact GPS coordinates of its location. Has BobG spent his entire life and savings searching for this cat only to come across it one day while sipping a cup of coffee and reading the Catsailor forum. Is Arbo 06 code for something? Is BobG???? WILL...WE...EVER...KNOW...THE...REST...OF...THE....SATORI?????
also have pictures from her in our 2002 Delray Drag Race. The boat was owned by Mike Coffman of GulfPort sailing in Tampa. She took quite a ride in that race. Mike and his wife as most of us did abandoned the race on shore along Palm Beach in which we had adverse weather systems from the North create big air and seas.They were holding their own very impressively in the mixed fleet of I20's and N6.0's etc.as Micheal had this boat very fast. Satori was safely sailed down to Delray by myself and friend during the week after the event.Getting her out through some good size surf was intense because she was in between some of the many sewer outfall pipes on this section of Palm beach.I wondered if we good samaritans were going to finish her off then and there.But like her namesake (the other fishing search boat in "The Perfect Storm")She still sails now in of course, Miami.The last hazard was sailing through what appeared to be a broken container load of grapefruits that went on for hundreds of yards on the way to Delray.P.s I think her sister ship another N5.2 with red rudders is on Biscayne Bay also, this was my old 5.2 and I was pleased to get 3rd in class in the M2KL2002. So now you know why I know about SATORI .................Bob Grubb DSYC.
Satori is being placed in the witness protection program, nobody will recognize her when the Drs. are finished. We made a deal with the D.A. to keep her from the death penalty, but she must still do some time in rehabilatative program. She is a hard case but I think she can be saved and become a productive member of the sailing society.
Look for her in the MKL being sailed by Katie and Danny Wilson.
