This was on the first day. When we went from Cooper to the Bitter End, the
wind increased to 15 kts, with a few white caps. Our boat speed was just under 12 kts on a close haul for this leg, and we regularly saw boat speeds in the 9 kts. range. The highest wind speed we saw was on the Cooper to BE leg. http://community.webshots.com/photo/...62992639MyjMme What a nice vacation! There was rain, but it never seemed to rain on us. The boat was pretty good... an Athena 38... pointed well, with the sweet spot at about 45 degrees. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

Wow... that's amazing. The cat we had didn't have the blue sail stack pack.
It really was a completely white cat. I believe we were just around the corner to the left of the picture you posted. When were you there? I believe we were there two nights...21st and 22nd. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "DSK" wrote in message ... JG wrote: What a nice vacation! There was rain, but it never seemed to rain on us.

When were you there? I believe we were there two nights...21st and 22nd. Oh well, maybe our visits didn't overlap after all. We got there last week Saturday and came home Friday. The classic motorsailer just behind my head in this picture http://community.webshots.com/photo/...63187869zCbPyT is also in one of your pictures. I didn't get to talk to them, they left the next day. I was disappointed in the boats at anchor, not many classics or out-of-the-ordinary... although this one is a beauty... http://community.webshots.com/photo/...63163346Qqhstp I didn't get to talk to her skipper either ![]() I did get to talk to a lady driving a big steel center-cockpit sloop in circles in reverse, right through our race course! She said it was locked up, I explained that since she could apparently steer OK that they should go ahead and anchor, then shut it down and work on the shift linkage. Didn't restore my position in that race but it was a lot nicer than what I started to say to them! BTW for anybody who cycles thru all the pic in this album, my friend did buy that J-24 at a pretty good price. I did win a few of the Laser races but my wife and I did better racing the Hunter 216s (those plumb bowed sloops at the moorings), won a bottle of champagne... Jon it sounds like you had a great time. Who was the group that you went with? I enjoy staying at the BEYC more than chartering, you get to sail and/or snorkel more, eat better, don't have to clean up or fight for a spot in crowded anchorages! Fresh Breezes- Doug King |

Thanks. I got a 1 gig card for my Nikon just before the vacation, and we
took something like 400 pictures. The picture counter only goes to 999, and I never saw it change the whole time. Now all I have to do is figure out what to do with all the pictures. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com "Scott Vernon" wrote in message ... Nice pics, Jon. Scotty "JG" wrote in message ...

If they are anything like the ones on Webshots, may I suggest you
do us all a favor and delete them. CN "JG" wrote in message ... Thanks. I got a 1 gig card for my Nikon just before the vacation, and we took something like 400 pictures.
