Second outing on the 19mx today at about 2-3pm, and boy is that north wind a deceiving little devil. Me and a buddy decided to try it without a third person and i flew my first hull(ever!) within ~20 mins of being on the water. About 15 minutes after that we decided to tack and i guess i left the main cleated too tight and over she went. Took us about ~20 mins with perfect wind on tramp/sails and multiple attempts to right her back over(~320lb) with the factory righting line in the trampoline. Looking back it was kinda funny and definitely a learning experience, but i think it made me a little gun shy.
Any one else go sailing today?

you got that right...learned the hard way to hug the coast with the winds out of the north.
looks like nw 15-20kts monday! have made plans to successfully blow off monday work and advise others to do same. makes for perfect bay hull flying...and flounder gigging.

The O Segredo Frota Fleet has placed and received an order from the $500 menu: P16. 1979 vintage. Blow Baby Blow!!! The Backasswards will be parted out and rest comfortably in the slums of Petal in the near future.

"saturday morning" flu has decimated captains and crews...livers were evil and they were punnished...will re-try sunday on biloxi bay...come on out and enjoy the "healing" waters of the mississippi sound as we re-tell hank's adventures on the dance floor!(he doesn't remember...tee hee!). on an upbeat note: tony and todd camped on horn island and stuck 16 flounder last night and limited out on speckled trout(30)this morning...nothin' a saturday evening fish fry can't sort out!

caught some o' dem cajun boys trying to launch a h18 w/ mag wings over the seawall in gulfport. I didn't stop by the first time, but i showed up about 30 minutes later and they already had that booger in the sand. I gave them a heads up to launch at courthouse rd pier next time.
boat descrip: h18 magnum yellow hulls/yellow sail with the rainbow pattern in one of the panels. Sail number and their names completely escape me though.
Had a great day out yesterday, starting to get a bit more comfortable with the boat, starting to see a trip to ship in my plans one day.

the secret spot, come to think of it, can be a little tricky...lots of piers, a channel, shallows, deer island in your face, the most treacherous quicksand on the newly built up deer island,a fair amount of traffic...the good thing about is the launch. you can drop the sterns in the water on the beach with your tires still on the blacktop...no cat trax needed. it is getting more crowded these days...sooo...nobody go there...your old place is fine. i mean, it is the secret spot afterall.

Yes Coastrat, apparently the secret is out. Might be time to purchase some beachfront property and leave the cats there. Ocean Springs looks like a swell spot. Very pleased with Sideways, she stays dry and doesn't pull either way. Thanks for all your technical support!
