Thanks for your continued guidance Mr. Coastrat. :hail: Are you still sailing on Monday? Will the wind be blowing just hard enough to have fun...with? :idee:
sunny 77 southeast winds 10-15 kts...monday :denk: :rambo:
Do you need crew?
If it stays warm I am going Saturday (if I can find a crew)
We're planning on launching Miz B somewhere and sailing somewhere this weekend. Not sure if we're launching at house and going to Horn or launching in Long Beach and going to Cat.
They're calling for east winds and there's nowhere to anchor totally calmly at Horn in an east, but the wind forecast is light...

Coastrat, I have taken Monday off in preparation for sailgating. :catchchicken:
execellent....phase 1 or 2 ...i don't know phases...complete. now are you tailgating saturday? last home game, last chance for romance on the ole eagle walk!!! we will try not to burn down the college this time. :biglove: :firedevil:
Phase 2 mostly, (if I understand the phase thing correctly) may be late to phase 1. Am driving son to NOLA airport for Saturday flight departing in evening. Should see yall during the second half.
SMTTT! :director:
Last Chance for Romance, fat chance, haven't you heard of Wesley Manor?
the king of tahiti and i have successfully blown off monday work! looks like west ship island...we recommend this...look for the blue ribbon and you will find some ice cold monday beerskies!!! :close:
So, it was indeed beautiful and I was so jealous so please tell me y'all had a huge time
wasn't as windy as hoped but it was a nice and dry sail to west ship...water was clear and not that cold! good times!
was working on the coast today and had time to cruiz around a bit...the "backasswards" is safe and sound...the wind was howling out of the southeast...was thinking if i would go out in these winds when all the sudden i see the biloxi schooner "glenn l. sweatman" sailing down the channel and into the docks...they had the jib up and the the fore main only, what a sight! they were the only boat out there and they sailed into the slip...no motor! nice job fellas!!! now thats old school...
Coastrat,
Thanks for the status report on the lil' P. Membership has its privileges.
Have a Merry Christmas :xmas: and a Rockin :guitar: New Year!
Had the H18 DoubleTime out yesterday screaming around the sound... 'twas great until about 3:30 when the sun started getting a bit low... Today gave a little H17 a bubble bath and found some leaks... hulls coming off tomorrow for closer inspection. Can't wait to get that 17 on the water.
Oh yeah... next Tues (Dec 21) a few of us (two H18s and a 16 so far..) are planning to zip around the sound, scream up casino row, and probably pull up on Deer Island... there's talk of another overnight on Horn as the temps will be up, and the full moon too....
dang...sails are at sail care, boat broken down, waiting for new mast base and standing rigging to come in...the wind has been blowing big time lately just to piss me off...hope to have it all together earlier this year.
the Nina and Pinta replicas will be at the Seafood Museum docks on Tuesday, we hear:

i saw them earlier this year at lulu"s in gulf shores...they were looking for crew to sail to panama city. some serious wood on those boats!! you would have to cut down a small forrest to build one and they are relatively small sailing ships.
Cool, we'll hail the ancients as we blow through casino row riding the southerlies enroute to the latest coastal sailing fill-up stop... WAFFLE HOUSE HIGHWAY 90.. OH YEAH!! :top:
shut the front door!!!...do you beach at the lighthouse/beau and walk over? another plus for the secret spot!!! that is awesome!!! love me some waffle house...bacon, egg, and cheese sandwitch with crispy hashbrowns...extra pickles.
No, that one's too close! About 2 miles further west there's 2 of them on the beach... then another closer to Gulfport.
We got a late start (someone couldn't find their wetsuit) so we just blasted up the casino row, did a 180 and blasted back the other way since the water was so flat... and did a bunch of hull flying schenanigans out front of the yacht club.
it was blowing... and a blast. I rigged up an 8 or 9:1 main system... makes life lots easier!
was at the spot last week and noticed how nice the bp clean up has left it. besides the federal funds to build up deer island(which is impressive!), the spot has been combed over more than donald trump's head...all the concrete and most of the old oyster shells have been removed from where we launch/land. here is the before and after shots:
both shots were at low tide with the after shot even lower. looks like a great start to the new season!

Thanks for sharing your documentation of the improvements Coastrat. Barefootin may be in order, but don't forget the gloves! :top:
If all goes welll I will be there Sunday. I have replaced my standing rigging, trap wires, moved the jib wires, resewn the tramp, fixed the leaks, replaced a rudder. put on pivimatics, and ordered some poliglow (turbohobo this is on you if it doesn't work). Here goes
i'm also looking at sunday...mayby a little later(~12 or 1pm). first time out this season...the liver is evil...it must be punnished.
Coastrat, greatjob Saturday night! Thanks to you, The Hounds, and Granny for a wonderful evening; still a lil' stiff from dance floor gymnastics, damn you Brandy! :peitsche:
thank you your highness, you were amazing on the dance floor! :banana:
nice job sittin' in too! ALERT>>>>> wednesday 15 mph ssw winds ... public utility could have personnel shortage...
So you may find yourself flirting with the new isle this humpday? Sounds like I'm starting to feel the effects of food poisening. :dead:
