Another J boat had its jib shreded to tatters, while a C&C99 had its steering cable snapped under load and the emergency tiller was simply too loaded for the skipper to be able to handle.

Sunday was more of the same... and we had a part time stint as Geologists. Twice :-/

Waaay too cold to be on the cat.



Take it to Monosailor.com. This is a catamaran site.

It was plenty chilly, but I'm sure it was colder and windier and whatever else'er farther south where you were.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
