Need crew

In April, we had planned to participate to the mixed double regata. The weather was not with us, so the regata was cancelled and re-scheduled. I am now single, familly gone in vacation, and desparately looking for a crew. If you are interested, leave me a message here.

PHRF-GB

So we did the first race with 245 "estimated" rating. Now the official rating has arrived: 150!

Now, we need to look for sailing excellence to beat the competition!

Boom

This side of the boom, with the new cuningham, with cleat on the cannopy...!

The other side of the boom, with the fine tack...

Side note: The manufacturer of the motor does not offer yet the option to charge back the battery, with the properler free wheeling while under way with the sails. But, they are apparently looking at that option. This would be really great.

Barber hauler

Added this week-end the barber hauler... Works perfectly!

At the dock



So, last Friday, we went with the familly for a little tour. Passing by the race boat slips, someone asks me if I am the one who requested a PHRFGB rating for LadyC. Yes, I am the proud owner. OK, the rating offered is 150... far from the 245 that was originally given to me... It will be much more challenging now and we will have to play with the big boys, instead of being the one driving the show! To bad, next weekend is the duo mixt race, the advertising also call that race the divorce race, I won't be able to participate, since we are going diving to Flower Garden in the middle of the Gulf.



Outriggers

Near the Seabrook Marina, almost under Seabrook-Kemah bridge, there is a place that I need to check out one day. It is right on the water, on the pass from Clearlake to the bay. There is a boardwalk around and customers either comes from the shore, usually with large pick-up trucks or gorgeous Harleys, or from the water side. There is noise from the above bridge, good music and probably great cold beers for afternoon after sail. Usually, there are several huge offshore motor boat moored in front, the one that flourish around here with super loud twin V8 or so. When these guys maneuver in front of the bar to dock, you probably have to plug your ears. All in all, I like that place, looks like plenty of fun! With LadyC we do not play in the same backyard, but I am sure we could have a god time there one of these days...
