I'll take pics of the new main this weekend.

Anchored out a cove this weekend, was comfortable sleeping in the cockpit. We woke up at about 7AM and got some morning sailing in, which is nice before it gets too hot. Saw 2 other C-25's out and about, one of which was forum member Captain Max.


You can see part of my new sail in this pic.

It looks like you have no headboard, that is odd.

We're back from a week at our family's summer home at Monteagle, on the Cumberland Plateau (between Nashville and Chattanooga). Weather was good. Rained some and that cooled things down a bit. We were able to sleep with the windows open several nights and enjoyed pleasant mornings on the porch. Chance of thundershowers 50% tomorrow but Wednesday racing should be good. I paid for being gone 10 days. Took an extra hour to cut the grass this morning.

Thick, green grass would be a bonus. I'm just trying to keep my soil moist enough to not crack or pull away from my foundation. This time of year it doesn't matter how much we water. The sun and temps are brutal to grass. I'm probably 70% green.

A week or so ago, I was camping in a state park in the Red River Gorge in Kentucky when heavy rains fell in a very short period of time turning the ankle deep stream running through the park into a raging river. I was able to salvage most of our belongings, but our tent was swept away in the current. We found it the next day entangled on a fire pit further downstream, but it wasn't salvageable. One camper nearly lost his fifth wheeler as he was unable to get it out ahead of the quickly overflowing river. Fun times!

Too bad we don't have a system to re-route winter snow run-off water to the mid-west. Now that would have been good use of TARP funds - to build canals or pipelines from flood-prone areas to draught-prone parts of the country.
Wish we had a way to send you guys some draught refief!
