So did everyone die? It's been almost a month sense the last post (my post). So did you see my previous post and everyone decided not to use this forum anymore? Just strange how everyone stopped posting on this forum. Also are you all going to a different H16 forum and if so where?

I think it is the Holidays. I am on another forum and it is the same there. I for one am ready for summer...tired of the cold.

I am ready to. Went out to our 550 acre lake where our sailing club is located and it was totally frozen. So anyone know of any affordable Ice Sailboats or what ever you call them? I live near Coeur D' Alene Idaho (Coeur D' Alene lake is not frozen at all, strange maybe its the size) if anyone wanted to know.

there isnt much sailing right now even in my sunny southern venue. my friends and i are paddling 'yaks instead, its warmer and drier than flying a hull into a serious wind chill factor. the paddling forum at paddling.net is very active, some of the paddlers have sailing interests too. some even have a sense of humor ;>)

Actually I have a great sense of humor! We would love to kayak up here but even the rivers have ice on them even though it seems to warming up the last couple of days. I am sailing my radio controlled sailboats on the bigger lakes that tend to not totally freeze up (www.sail-s.com). Of course people who know me and saw the title "Did everyone die?" and did not take offense and emailed me to let me know they are alive and well. So my question was more out of concern than humor. Thanks for your post though. And check out the picture of the Trapseat Spinnaker its a really cool pic. Cheers!
