She drank my stash without me :-/ you are supposed to keep her in line Mike, your much too busy with those boats ;D
I have gotten on a couple of times the past couple of weeks to make sure you guys aren't talking bad about me. It is so slow for me that I am still having problems, especially if more than a couple of guys are on.
But I have been a busy boy, doing some job search stuff and interviews. But I also have been having some fun.
This is my buddy who has been teaching me how to sail the past two summers. His name is Gene Miller and he has forgotten more about sailing than I will ever know, he lives two doors down from me.
we entered his Raritan Yacht Clubs race this past saturday .We came in 5th in the cruiser division with just him and me handliing the boat. Not bad since the ones in front of us were two racer class boats and the other two had about 5-10 feet on us in length.
His boat, a Catalina 32. She is a sweet boat.
We had 25-30 knot winds the day of the race, very gusty. Made it very interesting to say the least. Summertime made 7.5 knots across Raritan Bay and pointed to wind well. At the end of the race we had 6 tacks in heavy gusts to cross the finish. We outsailed bigger boats with full crews. I was a tired boy.
Gets a little dicey especially in that heavy wind, here is a shot of a racer that just edged us out at the end

Dont worry I would not forget you guys, I love ya man
