At the behest of my local sailing club, and after reading Steve's article, I entered a race for this weekend. I sure hope I don't hit anyone. Wish me luck.<img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

BTW...I've moved Weeny Bean once again. This will be my last move until I get transferred. I got a spot on the end that I can get in and out of on my own. I can't wait to start a little single handed sailing.

John - how the heck do you get "Ali Paroosa" out of that decal...? What language is it? (The most different one we had on Canyon Lake was a C22 - "Garth Anrhein", which is Gaelic for Wind Song.)

Hi Derek,
It's Russian (cyrillic alphabet). It means Red Sails, which is the title of an old story about a pretty maiden and a prince with a sailing ship that has red sails. Now, of course, I'm no prince (don't tell my wife), but my wife is pretty and of russian descent.

My boat has actually one red sail, the spinnaker.

"Garth Anrhein", Could also be interpreted as a fart! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Hey Tray, good luck with the race. Tomorrow's forecast is 20 to 30 mph winds with thunderstorms. Good thing you have that Dutchman system. BTW Where's the race? I might like to watch.


Safe voyages,

The race has been postponed. Another small craft advisory.<img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>

I'll let you know how it goes.
