Sailnet is having a clearance/sale on cordage. The prices are pretty good(I bought 5/16" solid sta-set for .33/ft versus .89/ft at West Marine) and shipping is free until March 31st. Plus no sales tax(at least for me anyway) http://www.sailnet.com/store/selectlist.cfm?list_id=51& source=homepage
Thanks for the heads up...I had been watching their prices for a while and haven't checked in the past week...Bought 250 feet of Yale portland braid for miscellaneous use. Never can have too much line....17 cents a foot!!!!
I just went back and bought some more rope and now all of my lines will be color coded. Now when I sail with landlubbers, I can just say, "Pull on the pretty blue one".
I was just out for two nights on the big and beautiful St. Johns. March 1st was my birthaday and I took off from work to sail down (upstream) to my twin brother's new house on the river in Riverdale.
We had a combination housewarming/birhtday party. Dave smoked a 150# pig and fryed 3 turkeys along with 3 kegs.
I stayed on Chick-a-pea for two nights and sailed back on Sunday. Stayed on one tack 20 mi down and also coming home. Only got rained on hard the last 5 mi back. The wind was cooking! With no one else on the river I was able to go below and cook breakfast while the auto tiller steered.
Happy Birthday Ben Sounds Like Fun!! Good wind this week!! I haven't made it south of I-95. I will have head south before it gets to hot for the kids.( 90/90 days) See you around ( I'll be racing at the RC on sunday). Max on " Legolas"
