Not missing summer, (went sailing on Sunday), But here are a few photos from earlier this year:

Took this photo while sailing on the 80' schooner Adirondack II in Key West.

As far as I know, she spends summer in RI, and the winter/spring in Key West. If you are in Key West, highly recommend.

Yepper.. That's legal in Texas.. and I think Powers is always running above 6 knots! BTW OT I got to see robert earl keen in atlanta last month, and he is playing in Texas about 5 times this month.
Great Show... I was about 15 knots at least!

That Sarge is a beautiful boat. Talk about ship shape.. You need to be setting some lobster traps...Halibut, tuna, what do you catch up there?

Andy,

I notice that your solar panel is mounted inverse of mine, how does that work for you? Which way do you face at your dock?

I don't do much fishing. Blue crabs can be picked off the pilings on our dock... Lobsters are too much work--I can buy them cheap off the boats in Stonington, plus the famous Stonington scallops.

Peter, my boat faces south in the slip and we're at 45 deg.N lat.

Dave... that's one beautiful boat. If I we're to go to the dark side I'd want one just like her.

Steve... I used to sail out of Newport Beach...lived in N.Tustin. I miss sailing on New Years day shirtless.

May Marina... downtown McCall Idaho.

we've got a pack of racing C25's in our club...like wild dogs!!

Outrageous is peanuts... There's a parade of what I call penis boats ("Mine's bigger...") through Mystic, migrating north in early summer and back south in the fall. I don't take pix of them--don't want to break my camera... except maybe for this one:

Just for reference, Outrageous is docked at an 80 foot slip, with about 10 feet showing.
But it looks like Cangarda's lifeboat is bigger than my 16 foot daysailer

BTW, don't be misled by the two masts... Cangarda is a steamer--oil fired, but originally coal. She's actually a very precise reproduction of a 1901 boat that somebody wanted to restore but gave up on because she was too badly deteriorated (a steel hull). The original ended up sinking in Boston Harbor before they gave up and scrapped her. Before they did, they used lasers to digitally map every tiny detail, and built the boat above from those details. She'll split time between Maine and Mystic, with other trips... and has already been as far afield as San Diego.

She's striking, but puny compared to some of the Clorox p-boats that come through...

No pics, but we did hold our annual Kamikaze Regatta yesterday, 9 boats (4 Northstar 500's, Catalina 30, Catalina 25 {me}, S2 7.9, Tanzer 25 (26?), and a F-28 trimaran. Winds were 10-15 and gusty, temp was 37 with snow flurries. It stopped snowing before the start and we had a good time. The chili and beer afterward along with a big fire in the fireplace made it even better. Pursuit start; I was first boat at 10:08 after the signal but was about 15 seconds late to the line due to mistaking the 5 min. prep horn for the start and had to reset my watch. Still, we led the pack for about half of the race - distance race around several islands. wind picked up during the return leg and we were a bit overpowered, rounded up 2-3 times. Others caught up and we finished 6th behind 3 Northstars, the Cat 30 (the only other non-spin boat besides us), and the F-28. We beat the Tanzer by about 2 boat lengths.

Oh I got to drive this boat for a good portion of the day Saturday.. her owner basically wanted to relax and be a passenger so my friend with the C-27 and I took turns at the helm and as crew. It was a windy and chilly day but still great sailing weather.

We started out with all the laundry up but in the 20 to 25 knot winds we were getting over powered. We reefed the main (real slick jiffy reefing set up on this boat) and still it was too much so finally we went to head sail alone and she started behaving. I guess I have to say that I'm not a huge fan of wheel steering, especially when you're getting over powered. We ended up going to the Bass Pro docks, tying up and having lunch at the Flying Saucer and then sailing back.

Not that I've been there yet, but this is the infamous "Cocktail Cove" on Lanier. Kinda like the "Sand Bar" at Destin. Talk about Summer Days...
