Some Purchases May Still Be Worth the Price



-FROM THE YESTERDAY'S NEW YORK TIMES-

By RON LIEBER
In the last month or so, it has become much harder to take out our wallets without feeling guilty.

No single authority figure has told us not to spend. But people are scared, and that fear is showing up in lower sales on all sorts of big-ticket items, from autos to electronics.

Homeowners had already been feeling poorer, and the devastating inv… Continue

PIRATES IN THE NY HARBOR

I know, I know, you read this headline and you immediately think about masked robbers on an open boat with machine guns causing trouble by the Statue Liberty. Well, not so fast, my Captain! The pirate we encountered in the NY Harbor may not fit that description but if it wasn't for some quick and clever detective work it could have cost us hundreds of dollars anyway. Here's the story:

A few weeks ago we were due for maintenance on our engine and since it's still under warranty we thought we'd l… Continue

Summer Equator




Last weekend we finally went sailing again. Between our vacation in Turkey (a week and two weekends) and the weekend we spent doing chores we hadn't had a chance to get out on the water for almost a month!

This time, we sailed down to the Raritan Yacht Club where Thad and Kristi of City Bumpkin were hosting the Summer Equator. We had… Continue

First trip to Oyster Bay



This past weekend we did our first trip since the Maiden Voyage. With our official crew on board (Patrice and Dan) we left the Marina just after seven and thanks to the current and Can Drac's great "iron jib" we reached Throgs Neck in just over 90 minutes. After that it was all "smo… Continue

Great! I hope he enjoys the book. He should be able to use the index to look up English words, phrases! Tell him to let me know how it works for him.
This is a nice site - it will be fun to explore and I will definitely mention it to other friends.
By the way, Imray is now carrying the new edition, so it should be easier to get in Europe.

Franc, the 40/43 group sounds great. Always good to share info, expecially on a new model like ours.
Happy New Year

Franc,

Happy New Year and what's going on? I see you heard from Bill and that he successfully made it south. All good news.

Keep me apprised of plans, and also let me know what teWEB sites were that you used or getting wind info. Cayo Mio is hopefully going to be back sailing soon. The repairs have take much more time and effort than I ever imagined.

Franc, Sorry for the late reply. WiFi hasn't been the best and then my girl friend came for a few days - I guess during those days my mind was elsewhere :) I'm currently in Charleston, SC. I stayed here over the Holidays so I could have my visitor. I'll be leaving either tomorrow or Tuesday depending on the weather. From here the plan is to hop off shore to Amelia Island and then to do coastal day hops. I want to spend some time in the Keys so Jan and Feb the boat will be there - then hopefully up to the Bahamas. Hope your plans continue to be successful. ...Bill

We don't have a spinnaker. There have been times when I'd have loved to have one but we just can't justify the space. What I do recommend is being set up to pole out that big ole' genoa. We also have a large genoa and when its strung out with the...
