Golfdad, come up to Canada, before the water gets cold, & we could sail Nacras poorly in stereo! Just think, a Nacra regatta of two! (if we set up 2 courses, we could each be first place)
Shiiiitttt, I thought I knew a fair bit about blo botes from the old led sled & dinghy days. I've had my 5.7 out 22 days now, dumped it 4 times unintentionally, & I'm still playing with mast tuning, diamond wires etc.
My ego builder was blowing by an old fella from down the point today on his Magregor 26, & both him & his wife cheering, & taking pictures of me soloing on the wire. We luff up to chat, he tells me what a (some word in German that either meant great boat, or prick)I have. The old boy has a really good looking Hobie 17 with wings in his yard, the one I have never seen on the water, but his wife won't get on it anymore so he got the M 26.
Damn, these Nacras are fun!

shoot for 10am, i'd like to be there early, but always seems to be 10 ish. i,m dieing, last week my repaired tiller crossbar broke again just before the wind picked up. my buddy brought down his jet ski last week so we got to play a little but it ain't the same thing! if weather is a factor i'll probably keep it close to shore, i'd really like to hit west ship island but...mayby just a trip around deer island or up and down the bay will do fine.

terry and i were the only sailboats out, the weather was tricky...it would go from no wind at all to all wind back to no wind and all points in between and it blew from every direction! we limped out to the bay then were surrounded by storms so we ran for the osyc and rode it out on the beach...some sailors were getting there boats ready but the crazy storm/calm cycles would stop you right when you think its clear. we finally went for it and shot out of the yacht club like a rocket. there was lightning around but not too close for comfort...some stinging rain and when we hit the spot there were some lovely chocolate skinned ladies from new orleans doing a photo shoot in red white and blue bikinies...made me proud to be an american! then they left right before terry showed up, you'll get 'em next time coach!
