Ok all you Puget Sound sailors. There is a great forcast for Sunday. So lets get off of the sofa and out on the water.

Today looks like a good day here on Colorado's Front Range. Must get a sail in today. The forecast is calling for snow and cold the next 5 days.

Was just up in Tacoma all week... most every morning I likely drove right by Triska (if she's still moored below the Museum of Glass).

The week sure wasn't much for decent sailing weather... I was reminded that the Puget Sound area can be dark and gloomy in the Winter months.

I hope you get the nice weekend weather as forecast. Looks to be a good weekend here in NW California, may have to put the Catalina restoration on hold for a day and take the Venture out.

The boys at Canyon Lake will definitly be out, after a week of rain the sun is out, 70-75 degrees and good winds,

Had a great Saturday sail.13-16 knots of wind all day. About 3:30 we saw the bad weather coming over the mountains and headed in. about 4:30 the winds picked up too 30 - 35 knots with one gusts on the wind machine reading 45 knots. The cold and snow is starting and it?s going to be here until Thursday.

Our sailing club had its winter banquet Saturday. We had about 4" of snow during the banquet and another 6" Sunday night. More is predicted. No joy here!

Don't know If I mentioned this before, but our club was able to rewire the electrical at the dock in about a month quicker than was previously planned. It seems that when they can just walk out and to the work overhead, as opposed to floating in a dinghy working overhead things go quicker.

Would have liked to have been out sailing, especially Sunday. I was, instead, sanding the exterior teak, mounting a double rope clutch on the deck and chipping away at the bottom paint (and seeing too many little bumps all over it, arrgggh).

Those sure are funny looking swells on lake Erie, do they have foam on top or something ? (grins)

Ruth and I made it out: Sorry no photos. Commencment bay started out with calm winds. By two oclock it was blowing 20 with gusts to 30. Turned for home at the south end of Vashon and we had 40 Kts for most of the way back. Its was realy a lot of work but God it was beautifull. Triska did well in the waves and high wind. Reefing worked out good.
