December sailing

Wow, what a day! Sunny, 10 knot NW winds which increased to 20-25 knots later and had me fully reefed/furled. This is life on the West Coast of Canada! I did a little video with some running commentary in it at http://youtu.be/vQFL76T47js I was thinking of selling my boat next year--now I'm not too sure. Moorage has almost doubled here so it's getting harder to justify the expense... Anyone else have any fun December sailing adventures?? --Jim

That old flat-top sure looks like she's having a good time. Beautiful day. - Nick --- In Ca… [at] yahoogroups.com, "James" <jimskelton@...> wrote: > > Wow, what a day!

Great! Now all I can think about is sailing and my boat 15 minutes away from work patiently floating in her slip. Today's work production is shot.

I've varnished the iceboat mast, putting the last coat on today. No snow, no ice. But now I'll be ready. Thanks for your video--I'm jealous! You were kind enough not to give a temperature, so we can think about a warm summer romp. Chris Campbell

There is still a sailboat in my marina on Oneida Lake! He might be able to get a New Years Day sail in. Kevin On 12/21/2011 1:48 AM, James wrote: > > Wow, what a day!
