How do you get a sailing fix when the lake is frozen? You build a website and spend hours picking through, editing and uploading your sailing pictures. I finally put together a report on our San Juan adventure and created a page on www.chapsail.com for your viewing pleasure. Take a look if you'd like and let me know if you have any problems with the site. It's new and I haven't learned the finer points of the site builder yet.

Thanks!

Hi Pam, great site and great pics. The only problem is that I am now crawling out of my skin to get the new boat on the water.....it is going to be a long winter. One question though. In some of the pictures it looks like your sail cover, dodger, and sun canapy is teal and in other pictures is looks blue? Cheers.

I say you did a wonderful job on your site! I also can't wait to get on the water. I'll be checking the forum this summer, but not as often!

I agree with Buzz, great site.
I started sailing in a sea snark too. Looked just like your, but the sail said "KOOL". It was just a foam hull till my dad and I added a fiberglass shell. I took it every where, from the irrigation canal behind the house to the San Luis Dam (30 mile / hour winds were common here). I have to show the site to my wife. It has been a dream of mine to sail the San Juans.
Thanks Again.

Thanks for all of the positive feedback!
Dennis, the boat with blue canvas is our C25, My Prozac. The boat with the teal canvas is Sacred Space, and belongs to our friends who taught us how to sail and accompanied us(held our hands)up in the San Juans. It's a San Juan 26.
Matt, the San Juans were a special treat. We hope make to it an annual event and explore up into Canada as well. The Snark is a kick, but difficult for us less-nimble old folk to spend much time in. It's now being enjoyed by a young man of about 12 years of age whose parents also own a C25. He's been instructed to pass it on to someone who needs it when he is done with it.

Haven't had the time yet to go exploring on your site but it sure looks impressive at first glance. Thanks for the link.

Pam,

Wonderful job on your website. It really captures your attitude and feelings about sailing. That's always better than lots of technical details. You know it's a success when everyone who reads it wants to go sailing, especially in the San Juans!!

One comment, the black background really accentuates the pictures nicely but it makes it harder for those seniors among us (no names here please) to read the light blue text. Would a text/background combo with better contrast be possible?

Thanks for sharing.

Pam,

Great story and web site!!!!....My wife and I are planning to break out next summer for our first extended (more than a weekend) cruise to celebrate our 21st anniversary. Would love to hear about some of the mundane ideas/plans that worked, didn't work, lessons/menus/packing ideas for next time...

The Orca photos were spectacular. In a former life as a grad student at UW's Friday Harbor Laboratories (1978), I was always in awe at seeing the pods of Orcas pass. One of my first sightings was when a friend and I were diving inside some kelp beds. While underwater, we began to hear very odd/unfamiliar sounds and surfaced to check our equipment. Directly across from us probably 1+miles away was a pod of Orcas passing by. I had no way of confirming it was them we were hearing, but I've always believed so.
