Don't forget to bring lunch.

Key Biscayne, skippers meeting is at 10:30 as usual.

I won't be at this one unfortunately. I'm going on vacation for a couple of weeks and will be back the day before the Fowley light race. May do that one if we get back in time.

Eric, did you rig a spinnaker pole on you new boat?

Have fun

Hopefully I will be there. Cant make the Fowley race though. I plan on participating this race with or without a crew.

Do you think that will be a problem? A Hobie 16 solo?

It is set up for a spin, I just haven't rigged it yet. Look at the pole in the pic in my first post. Here is a good pic.

Eric,

Have you done the Fowley light race before? When they say for "experienced" sailors what exactly does it mean? I guess I shoud be asking John that question.

Robi,

I don't see any reason why you couldn't sail the race solo on your H16 other than just not being comfortable doing it. I sail my TheMightyHobie18 with the Jib, and daggerboards frequently solo in the Ocean. It is a little overpowering when its choppy and windy but I imagine a 16 would be a little easier.

Maybe not.

Dunno, dont want to see myself in trouble if I were to flip the boat, and cant get her right side up again. that would suck major "you know what"

Yes, I have done Fowey before. I imagine that the "experience" is mentioned because the race leaves the protection of the bay and things quite often change drastically and quickly.

weather is looking beatifull for tomorow! Cant wait. Ima be sailing by myself.

How did the race go? Sux that I couldnt participate, no crew, no fun.

Cant wait to get my F16! No need to depend on a crew.
