Anybody doing the Lights Parade in Annapolis on 12 December or other towns?
I'll be out there in Annapolis with the Navy entry.
Interested in sailing the Chesapeake Bay
There's a blast from the past.
The last time I saw Cayenne it was owned by St. Mary's College. They sold the boat to someone.... I assume the boat is racing and crusing. I'll ask some alums.
I had some good times on that boat back in the day. I ra...

Lots of time in Antigua, Barbados & the Grenadines during the glory days.
A couple years in the Med & 2 summers racing in England 1 summer on the Baltic out of Kiel..Lived in Spain for 2 years. Been racing in France 3 times, visited France two other times, therefore I enjoy learning Spanish, French, Portugues and dabble in Italian & Catalan. Some study in Japanese & Russian as I have friends from those countries. Some of my students are taking Arabic and Chinese, so I try to greet them in those languages (badly...) Basically, the study of language is a concept in understanding people, their culture, their perspective...
Now Coaching & racing full time.
80% of my time is prepping boats in the boatyard & managing a fleet of offshore boats.
Occasionally a nice long delivery.
Married with teenage boys & grown daughter with one 4 year old.
I guess that makes me a grandfather???
For fun we have a Hobie 18, and ski/snowboard in the winter.
Fishing a lot.

- Wow, time flies. Sorry I haven't checked in with SeaKnots lately. Been super busy with racing & training. Another big project was the rebuilding of our Farr 30 (Mumm 30) chainplates. Seems Carol Marine, the builder of most of the Farr 30's, read the design drawings wrong and drilled the access hole for the chainplates on the wrong side of the box frame thus weakening the structure. I've modified the chainplate with a 20 hr, $200 material repair that I suspect most Farr 30's will need someday. The new chainplate structure worked perfectly with 25 knots true wind racing this weekend.

I'm in Sint Maarten, Netherland Antilles~~~~Cruising &Living Aboard an Irwin43.
Are you or will you be in the Caribbean in the winter of 2009? Do you have advice on destinations or precautions? Want to meet up with fellow sailors that are close by? If so, then you should join and share your experiences!
I read the book a long time ago. Maybe it's time to re-read it.
Beautiful, just beautiful.
Nice footage! I read the book during our Atlantic crossing and have had the movie in my Amazon wish list for 7 years! Thing is that I don't own a VHS player anymore and I haven't been able to find it on DVD yet.... :-(
