Eric doesn't need a chute cuz he doesn't own a BOAT.Are you saying your boat doesn't count as a boat?

Yeah, well be careful to not scratch your anchor. Don't you have a stable to clean?

Not at the Alter Area A Qualifiers when it’s blowing 18+. Don’t ask me how I know, but Bob was there too.

“I’ll take reading and comprehension for 1000, Alex...” That’s not even remotely what Eric said. Lack of testosterone caused by some critical missing body parts blocking your ability to read? If I were to ask a female, she’d probably say that would be a first in the history of mankind, usually it’s too much testosterone that screws up our thinking.

OK, didn't think it was possible, but that made even less sense than your initial attempt. Next, you'll be resorting to Yo' Momma jokes...

Yea Tawd it was kind of a bummer sellin the A cat, but it was either that or be homeless.
On the other hand it is only soft water sailing. Its not like I am giving up iceboats.

This weekend I thought my nuts were never coming back. It was about 6 deg sailing Saturday. Sunday was a balmy 15 degrees.
This is a video of John Harper which gives a feel for what Iceboating is like

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1hea5S1p9M

Of course when this was taken it was only blowing about 10 mph so they were not going that fast, mayby 40 down wind. On a windy day a 1 mile windward leeward takes about 2 1/2 min upwind and 70-90 seconds downwind. Upwind -downwind closing speeds ~100 mph.
Nothing like it.
