Looking to:
Sail the Hawaiian Islands before crossing to the West Coast and down to the Sea of Cortes. At some point cruise the ICW round trip up the Mississippi and down the ICW. So much to sail, so little time to do it...!
Where is Gentry's, Kona? I know some of my pictures were on the Kona side where I bought my bike and where my brother lives, but I'm actually on your side of the island in Puna. Do you ever go to Shooters, Bamboo Garden, Emerald Garden, or Palms by the Bay?

I'm also a graduate of the Marine Military Academy in Harlingen Texas.

"Auto ascending setup is an interesting idea, though it takes a bit of fiddling around to get it right. Once it's dialed in, it actually works quite well."
"Michael,
From experience over three keel boats a fully battened main is almost a requirement.
Not only will it make dropping the sail into the boom bag far easier it certainly reduces any flogging and vastly lengthens the life of the sail. While…"
