Yup, gotta watch out for them LIS rocks. I hear they can bite.

can and do. not any different than anywhere else: just didn't feel like
dealing with it, as i don't know the CT coast well.and it was the last
weekend with my daughter (crew) for the next month and a half: thought i'd
rather enjoy the sail with her: and a serious sail it was. this thirteen
year old can steer a course with ease. knows every piece of gear on the
boat, and understands when something has a sense of urgency and simply does
what needs to get done. although she was disapointed when she realized being
on deck was not the thing to do this day--some time at the helm offered some
alternate enthusiam.

i suspect she is a reasonable republican, but she'll decide that on her
own. in any event she can sail circles around the logic of a ganz.

Funny, there was a ****** who used to post here, bragged and bragged about
doing the ALI race, but then chickened out on it.

ahh ok..........the bait?
nah but thanks.

Were any of them sailing up wind
.......more bait, i see.
think it was a combination of things: dark storm clouds to the
northwest----flying to the north of where we were, and the water ahead was
being cut by the wind sending spray into the air and looking nearly like fog
to the west. actually at one point forming a rainbow just south of
manhasset.
the skies and weather patterns have been crazy lately????
sailing? no: they were motoring home at the end of the weekend (wind on the
nose)

me/us?....we chose to have some fun and beat home.
excellent way to end my time with her........and i would highly recomend it
to anyone.
