[quote=texastuma][quote=charlescarlis]Hey Scott - Steve Paulson says "hi". We were out last Sunday at the dike (alone) and it was awesome sailing! It got to honkin' around 4 o'clock. Good wind direction for long runs before a tack.
Yeah - don't rub it in; I had to cancel going to the Reach... Band contest. My son's band is going to state this year (Junior/high school/drum major/great show). So, I'm not just a BAD parent for missing, I'm "....just a little bit efil..."(evil). :-) Actually, I'm a pretty committed dad, so...
What phone do you use? How do you manage protecting it? I'm thinking specifically about exploring up to Redfish, and a bit further when I can.[/quote]
You missed an epic event.. Roger did a fantastic job.. nothing like hot fresh BBQ for dinner after a cold sail. The wind was 8-17 knots. As expected, the wind dropped off during the day, but it was still a challenging sail with the North wind. You should bring the boat and fam to Wurstfest... Always a great event.
I used to trust the Lifeproof with my iphone, but after 2 phones in 6 months getting trashed.. forget that. I place the phone in a phone bag and stick it in the tramp pocket. For the Dash, my son does the navigating with a simple GPS. He focuses on COG and Bearing to Mark.
I would love to find something that could be a repeater display to give SOG and heading. I have found one, but they want $1,100-ish. I have an old school Velocitik, but an update killed it.[/quote]
