And just how many posts would I have to post so I will no longer have the problem of "can/t find the wind"?! <br> <br>Mark <br> <br>PS: Just got my copy of Sailing World yesterday, great shot of Capt. Kirk/Glenn Holmes on p. 8-9!<br><br>

Excellent question Mark. <br> <br>As an aside, we were out Sunday in WAY too much wind (defined as enough wind to not wish I had the new Tornado spinnaker rig). At one point, we had the hull 4 feet out of the water with the jib luffing completely and about 1/3 of the main catching air(with double trapeze); Fun! Anyway, this is a great forum for cat sailing enthusiasts. <br><br>
I seem to be stuck on the same category, Mark!#1870 08/23/0109:16 AM08/23/0109:16 AM
And when I was up there at your place for the White & Wheat the category was appropriate. <br>Rick<br><br>Rick White <br>Catamaran Sailor Magazine <br>email: rick@catsailor.com

Hey Mark, <br> <br>Have you had a chance or figured out how to post the Big Mouth Regatta Photos? That was agreat day for sailing -- at least after about 1 o'clock. <br> <br>Thanks, Don<br><br>
Don, <br> <br>try cutting and pasting this into your browser: <br> <br>http://www.wave23.com/bigmouth/index.htm <br> <br>if it doesn't work send me an e mail and I'll send you the two pics I got of you...they didn't turn out too great...there wasn't enough wind for me to get over to most of the boats and get a good pic. <br> <br>For some reason some DNS servers aren't resolving my name to IP address...let me know if you can't get there from here and I'll create a yahoo pic site to post some pics on. <br> <br>Thanks! <br> <br>Mark<br><br>

Oh well, after 22 years of sailing, I STILL can't find the wind. <br> <br>Oh how I wish the wind was visible. Just two days ago, the wind was out of the SE, the it was the SW, then back to the SE, the out of the S, then it died, back to the SE, then the SW, then the wind really starts roaring-but why am I not moving; what the..., how did the wind get to the rear of me... down wind with tight sails is pretty useless; I always wondered why those TV weathermen have that silly smirk on their faces.<br><br>Jeff Peterson <br>H-16 Sail #23721 <br>Big Marine Lake, MN
