Alachua, FL | Pity that mother nature couldn't swap saturday and sunday. Sunday looks quite fresh around here. I just got home from the club and I think it will be nice tomorrow. Sunday should be awsome. Don't wank out now!!!! The A's have some strength and the 16's should roll.

Lake Murray SC | Just about 1pm and pouring rain. Buckets.
If everyone hangs in the club all afternoon self-lubricating the party tonight should be killer!
Time for a beverage...

Columbia South Carolina, USA | 3 races today in 14mph race 1 to 18-21 in race 3. Lots of wind and waves rolling down the lake, huge chop between races opted me out after race 1(Mosley out...), but the fleet sailed on, flipped over, but all came back to the beach grinning. Great day today, see you at Spring Fever!

North Carolina | Despite not sailing on Saturday, this regatta was a blast. The location was amazing, the company was awesome, and there was plenty to keep everyone entertained. The racing was a lot of fun today. I got in a nice pitchpole, just to rinse off, and I learned quite a bit on the water. Great regatta!

North Carolina | ... well, I wasn't going to rub it in. But, since you mentioned it, I sure did. You can't beat showing up with one boat and going home with two.

Roanoke Island ,N.C. | On lake lanier, the conditions were a bit more epic. Gusts were easily to 30+ and it was freezing cold.
On Saturday we went out on the keelboat and were only one of a handful to actually finish. A Pinnacle 30 blew its mainsail out and shrimped their spin in a broach that blew it away. 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.

South Carolina | Are the results posted somewhere? I think this is right F16-1 Oley / Joanna 2 Jody A Cat 1 Todd Hart 2 Mosley 3 Carey H16 1- Jack / Gary 2- Me / Hannah 3- James/ Loyd Hey! I know we spent some time cleaning the bottom of the hulls, rinsing the sails/trampoline, and inspecting the water depth by the dam (which is over 30' deep BTW)...but Zander/Kohl raced all three races!

Roanoke Island ,N.C. | Fresh water rinse is good for the gear, but bad for the leaderboard. Good on ya for stickin' with it.
Thanks for the shelter in the storm,literally.

Chattanooga, TN | It was a fun weekend even with the bad weather on Saturday. Sunday was great practice and we stayed upright-barely. Had two saves that were REALLY close to going over. Lots of fun and see everyone at SF!
