Re: [Cal_Boats] Re: Santa Cruz Mele (CCSCCC?)

So that was two maybe three learning lessons this trip. Set up the ladder while at anchor. Have flash light when getting back into dingy after dark. Approach Airtime from the stern when he is making Margarittas. Yup, with this many forgotten lessons. We need more time out.

I had a great time with all you guys.. wish I could have stayed longer.. and speaking of lessons.. remember to tie the end of the rode to your dingy when fooling around with your anchor! sudden swims are enjoyable until you run yourself over with your own dingy... my lesson was learned. I do think we should have a ccsccc three times a year minimum. and now that I have a new flopper stopper,(thanks to mike) does anyone have a spinnaker pole for sale?

Eric, Since you were willing to bring this topic up, I will add it to my official list..... Note: Eric likes to swim fully dressed with his dinghy circling him madly. Do not be alarmed. Once again, great to meet everybody and let's definitely do it again.
