Yep remember, he (Robert Jones) is the guy that climbed up the westsail's mast like a monkey while underway! I will email you his phone #, and let him know. You are sailing in this cold??? I don't think OG (the girl) can handle winter sailing. I will wait for warmer weather for her maiden voyage but you are invited .
Cheers,
Erika

Funny to hear from you today. I sent you a message yesterday, but somehow it was lost by Cruising Forum. I would love to see you mom's speech, but a dear friend has her 40th birthday this weekend, so I will not make it to the coast. I am so excited to hear OG is ready to sail! I will start angling for a sailing invite immediately.



I actually lost my halyard trying to change to a storm sail when it was blowing 30 a few weeks ago. I sent a friend up the mast last weekend to fix it, but hit a technical hurdle. My parents are visiting the weekend of Feb 27, so I need to get it fixed quick. I was wondering if your friend Robert is available for hire. I seem to recall he sometimes climbed spars for a living. I am sure I could find someone else, but he seemed like a really good guy, so if he is interested I would prefer to hire him. If you think he may be interested, please send me his contact info.

Raindag, my mom is speaking at the ssca meeting this Saturday, if you are interested in going let me know. Hope all is well with you, can't wait for the weather to warm up, OG is finally ready to sail.

OK, have fun and enjoy the beautiful weather!

PS take pictures

I am in NYC sailing Long Island Sound until September 8. Will not back back down to the boat until Sept 11. Wish Tony a happy b-day for me!

Raindog, are you stopping by my boat this weekend? It's Tony's B-day and thought we could go for a night time sail to celebrate. Sorry I bailed on you again, my friend is a bit nervous about storms and I didn't want her first experience to be wet. She is game for next time.

I had to buy new tires, so I am going to have to wait on that one now.

Where are you sending your sails to be worked on?

Purchased mine at Lowes for $99, it a fridgidare(spell??) "mini a/c" 5000BTU. Next time you are down you are welcome to come over and look at mine.

Awesome, we will definitely have to go again. We went out again about 4:30. The wind had finally picked up and it was perfect. What type of AC do you have? I have to look into that.
