Thanks ...I think....only slightly between stalker and curious. 200lb Viper sailors...they're everywhere...Ho Hum...BOOORRRRRRIIIINNNNGGGG..... Try doing the same stuff with 80lbs less and a smile...that's panache!

I'd better sign up for sailing lessons soon so I know what I'm doing when I get there:)

Temporary Protective Order. That's the Georgia term for a restraining order.

Hi All,

I'm looking for crew and boat transport opportunities. Particularly:

- Need at least one crew, Viper #56. We're going to be a "rookie boat" certainly, though we definitely weren't DFL in Miami with her AL stick/dacron sails in the honking wind, light crew-weight, and my first time driving. Fun stuff!

- Need someone who can tow her back to the New England Area after the regatta. Will pay for gas and such.

Email me at obleck at gmail dot com or call, 617-513-9841

The guy who crewed for Carrie and I last year is looking for a ride (since i had to bail). Great guy, about 180 and super crew. Shoot me an email if you need him.

I belive this guy had a truck as well and willing to tow.

Any long range weather info? Wunderground shows it light until Monday. Any ideas after that?

they don't even know if the earth is cooling or warming and you want them to predict wind a week out. Good luck. All we know in Michigan is that the tide is coming and going.

There's a tide in Michigan? I bet it's not like the one in Charleston...

The sailflow model seems to be consistent as well--building late afternoon to 12-15 as the sea breeze comes in.

Looks like we have little cooler weather over the weekend and maybe some rain Friday.
