Another good time. Raised the mast by myself again. Twice in a row means I'm a pro at it right? However, by the time I had the boat rigged, the wind was just too much. Luckily I found someone willing to serve as rail meat so we went out around the island and back. I was hoping the wind would die down and I'd get to go out again, but it wasn't to be.
The two young guys in the Hobie 16 went out though. They were having a tough time going up-wind. I hope they got back okay. Also, a Weta went out. I talked to the guy and he said the wind was a bit much for them, but it would be their last chance to go out before going back up north.

Any word on the condition of the launch area at the causeway? I've heard rumors that the south side of the road is closed but I haven't found anything official...

Sorry - i realize this is on the wrong thread now but i dont know how to delete...only lets you edit.
Just dropping a note here to see if anyone has any interest. I had my Prindle 19MX stored at the Clearwater Sailing Center and it was heavily damaged by Helene storm surge. The boat has probably sailed its last day. Please reach out if you are interested in a boat project or you know somebody would might want some undamaged P19mx parts. The only damage is to the hulls but i dont know how to estimate the effort and i dont even know who does this kind of work anymore.

Bummer.
Down here in Fat Point we got 2 feet of water in the house.
But I found a Rick White book from a long time ago. Phil Berman's book may or may not survived. -

I drove down to the Dunedin Causeway on Thursday and it was open, although the entrance we normally use was closed, another one further down was open.
Of course it doesn't matter now with Milton bearing down on us... Stay safe!

Went out today in some fluky winds. Ended up sailing downwind to the Clearwater Causeway then while sailing back, the wind shifted so I was going downwind again. I had lots of quality time with the spinnaker.
Gary was there when I got back. He said he was sailing Friday and Saturday and didn't feel like going out again today, so he was just hanging out on the beach.
I also had a hat overboard incident so I got to practice my overboard drill.
