Lake Mohave was OOONNnn... both Thursday, and Friday !!
But we'll start with Friday because this Is a sailing forum.

So today i'm back at Mohave , in 25 + & i'm on a 20-Ft Hobie cat ; the Main was
reefed to about the size of a Hobie-16, & we were running without the jib in 2 to 2.5-ft
chop. South East winds are Great , cause it keeps the swells down.

Ouch --- we completely blew-out the Main sail in a 30 +mph gust, & had to hoist the
jib, ((actually -- unfurl it )) to get back home, there goes $2.5K for another Main-sail
with reefing points sewn-in !!




On Thursday, I kitted on a TT for a bit, then went for more practice on the surfboard, for the rest of the day
(( Yea- i kite-board on double prosthetic-s ))
. Everything was Great until about 3 hours -in ... when
i went for a back-roll with a kite-loop , while me buddy Santiago was following
me, ((making sure he watched)).
Yea-- i know what went wrong ; probably the part
about him watching !!

Ouch -- the landing wasn't so great ; There goes $15K for a new prosthetic, compliments
of the USA -- VA, (my sponsor) !! Going in the Army back in the 70's , does
have it's advantages , now that i'm older and wiser ! Did he say wiser ?

Now im getting Really Drunk because i know that by tomorrow i'm gonna
be dwelling on what the cost was for those two days of FUN
