Just had to sail the boat. It was 78F with light winds. Cool enough after sunset for a light windbreaker. I hate these short winter days. Now that we're past the solstice every day is a day closer to sailing every day after work!


PS.

Yesterday was a great day. We are having extreme tides : +7.7 to -2.0. The ocean was rough and I spent the day sailing around Sail Bay. Sunny, cool, and winds 10 to 15. Come on spring!

Nah nana naaah na...go ahead, rub it in. But you're missing out on sitting in the boat in the driveway with the heat going, watching the snow coming down outside, pretending you're on one of those cruises to the Icebergs you read about in the 'zenes....

I have always wanted to do a Christmas Day and New Years Day sail.
This looks like it will be the year at least for a Christmas Day sail. The temp is supposed to be in the low 60's. The wife has said after the kids open the presents from the fat guy in the red suite I could go for a sail. She said of course the kids will not want to go and she will have to stay with them. My response was, I guess we all get what we want for Christmas.

I was down at the boat last weekend, drilling holes and running wiring for the new tillerpilot, but didn't take the boat out of the slip as it was getting dark by the time I wrapped up work for the day. That's the bummer of these winter days - it doesn't get full daylight until 07:30, then it's getting dark again by 16:30.
I received the second winch that was backordered from SailNet today, so I now have two Lewmar #14 self-tailers ready to install. I will probably wait until next March, when the boat will be back in dry storage at Folsom Lake. Doing a winch installation on the trailer seems like it will be "safer", without the risk of dropping something - nuts, bolts, washers, or even the whole winch! - in the water and losing it. I have already had to go scuba diving once after dropping some rigging pieces and a tool off the dock last month. Visibility in the water under the boat was no more than 3 feet, and it was a miracle that I found everything. Thankfully it was only 10' deep.

Mid 60's here, full sunshine... but not a breath of wind and a 10' tide runoff... :&gt;(
Oh well, it was nice to be down on the boat anyway... sailing or not. :&gt;)

Today, 40 mph winds and rain forecast through the weekend. :&gt;(((
