Expected to do some testing in SanFran bay on Sat., 2/9/08, depart for Southern Cal Sunday 2/10 and stop in San Diego if needed, else continue on for a "lap" <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />


" I’m willing to pull into a port at any point during the trip if the boat doesn’t seem safe or I just don’t feel confident. Contrary to what some folks on sailing forums seem to think, I’m not insane or reckless"

He's being safe/cautious/careful and will take the time needed to be sure....Ya, right! Like letting his departure windows keep slipping by over 1 month while he hastily cobbles that crypt together. And, it's going be just fine 'cuz he's got buddies that will inform him if he's got bad weather coming, so he can put in and sit it out at the Cape, NZ etc. etc.

Does he realize that things like radios regularly fail in those conditions? Even his breakfast cereal is trying to stop him! Wonder if he's had his appendix out?

Gotta get someone in SanFran to get photos of this thing before it collapses.

If by some miracle he makes it to SD, maybe I'll see him from my Tboat...I'll be at the Midwinters event out of Mission Bay 2/16 & 17.
