Re: Who Sailed Today

where is lake pleasant? it was a bone chilling 60 here today (overcast was the real problem) so I went and watched the formula 1 exhibition boat race down the road from me. after that I installed my windex and heel gauge and will be testing them out tomorrow (supposed to be 79).

I believe Lake Pleasant is just N/W of Phoenix.

Bone chilling 60? Really? It's 25 here! Needless to say, No sailing for me today. We did sail on new Year's. It was 45. Much warmer!

No sailing today at our marina.... This is a shot of Allan H. Treman Marine State Park in Ithaca, NY today..... In any event, we had fun at the dog park and spent a little time on my "new" boat, under the tarp, dreaming of warmer days to come...

1988 Catalina 22 North Florida
I went up to Georgia and sailed in mid 30 degree weather ... then bought the boat I sailed on!!!

It was the 1988 boat I mentioned in my PM to you a couple days ago. I got her home around midnight last night, had a couple celebratory adult beverages, then went to CD and splurged for a pair of those teak eyebrows. The boat is just so pretty, I couldn't resist buying her something! :redface:

Here is a Video of Our First Sail of the New Year.

We had a very relaxing sail with 8-10 kt. winds on a flat sea. It was a beautiful 72* with clear skies. We ended it by docking at Killer Shrimp and enjoying a couple of bowls of their shrimp.
Pardon the occasional finger in the picture, I use my wife's IPhone and the lens is not where it's suppose to be.
Ran into Timo42 and his wife at the launch ramp when we finished at the end of a perfect day.

Great video. I found myself moving my own finger out of the way! I know the frustration, though. That pesky little is NOT where it should be. At the end of the video I realized there is one truism that is common among sailors. We ALL have hot wives. Much hotter than any of us deserves.

I'm in Mr. Greenglass' neck of the woods. Winds are gusting to 60 today, so I was sailing across the parking lot from my car to the door at work!
The flip side of solid water is skiing, dog sledding, and ice racing.... now if I could only convince my wife to let me get a DN iceboat!

Even if I wanted to sail, and I do, there is no way that I could. With a temp of -9 and wind chill of -14, I could not even find the lake. Walked out 30ft on the water and was just being blown around. Cannot wait for the spring thaw so I can get back on the water.
