Hi Melissa, how have you been? I wonder what you are up to these days.
I was in Orlando last week, visiting a friend from Brazil...had a good time cept for the weather.
Talked to Doug..he sent me THE LUCKIEST MAN IN THE WORLD, email, and i posted it on Seaknots...pretty good read.
I have a new mechanic set to look over the engine this week, with your suggestions...will let you know the results.
let me hear from you
http://www.lyndasusanhennigan.com/nautical.htm Like this artist's work. I prefer the more traditional designs. I'm looking for the octagon boxes now at a reasonable cost...can be pricey.
Morn'n... was hoping to sail sat., looks like a washout. Here's my next (lol) boat...I don't mind the aft cabin...crew can make up the forward bunk! http://www.buy-a-boat.com/Gozzard44_1999.htm only 399k :
Hi, I went down to boat yesterday to meet with the welder, did that..easy fix..allegedly. Friend.sick with cold...other crew getting boat ready to launch next week and under the weather also..me..still fighting a cold. So went out to dinner and gazed longingly at Twizzled from across the cove restaurant, came back..read, fell asleep on boat, woke up at 3:30 and drove home...should be sailing today aint...unhappy sailorette.
Okay...so i'm going to attempt the northwind broadsides move on friday..with extra crew, two boat hooks and springlines. What am I doing with the motor during all this? Will having it in reverse a bit swing the bow (hopefully away from all) into fairway ?? then i let it all loose and run for my life??? Tiller to starboard a bit..will stern want to kick back in towards dock? i'm thinking yes..so i do it ever so gently???

Hi Melissa, Hope you're enjoying your spot ! I'm in NYC til Monday or Tuesday... leaving with the tides .. the trip down the East River was piece of cake... getting into slip at 79th Street Boat Basis was NOT... current is wicked in Hudson. Can't wait to be getting south.. take care..
Docking makes you nervous! and what u do for a living...I kinda like the glide path of a sailboat better!! LOL Have a great week! Will probably only sail for 5 hours, but suppose to be nice with my kind of wind... SW ..lol

Good luck with the docking. It always makes me nerveous. Always. Currntly on the hook in Key Largo Keys!
Hey Melissa, Suppose to be nice here next few days..awesome wind. Sat..from the nw, may try your technique. Still nervous about swim platforms on powerboats on either side. Will have two boathooks at the ready, just in case. Have a great weekend!!! Don't have to say "stay warm" ..lucky Sailorette! :-)

Terri.. back out of the slip and use a springline around the piling. As you get 85% of the way, out of ths slip, tighten down on the springline. It will move the stern around as you continue to back out of the slip. Tie off up wind too.
just had a thought..bet he's going to say back all the way out.. could do..but shallow at end, have to cut it to port and head west. trying to think if I'd get blown back while doing that. geez...we'll see tomorrow
Ahoy there knowing one! Got any pearl's of wisdom for backing out of slip trying to head north (only way out) with a northerly abeam?? Walking her out isn't an option..too much in the way..like piling with huge metal pipe bracket and powerboat swim platforms. Going with a hired capt tomorrow at noon to practice...nervous as hell. Had a plan which went to hell quickly last time tried.
Thanks... will do so.
I'm doing Hospice Regatta in Fort Lauderdale next week. I may be looking for a day sail Memorial day weeken, but will need to get ready for my Bahama trip. But if you'll be in town that weekend, let me know and maybe we can hook up.
