First two Hobies. Way too much time working on them, and not enough sailing. Current boat is suffering from neglect, and I'm getting the same ribbing from my sailing chums again...

Close. Our seasons are actually "winter" and "road construction". Lake flies come out in May or so crazy

That makes more sense. In Hawaii it's summer and Kona storms.

We lived in our RV when we had our hardwood floors redone in the old house (un-Godly chemical fumes for about a week). My father-in-law is using it now as he's building a new house.

It definitely is difficult to come up with a way for the thing to pay for itself, but it sure does come in handy, not to mention how much more comfortable and convenient it makes regattas! smile

cool quote: In Hawaii it's summer and Kona storms.

So 1616, going sailing today? With the Kona's here, should be a good ride. Can't believe all the school and building closures on Oahu. The cold front causing the problem must be part of that "Global Warming Thing"
