The Weekend Thread

I thought we might all enjoy a running thead to share our experiences (up and coming or past) on the weekend. Pictures are great!!!

We are heading back out to the boat this weekend for Father's Day. Mom and Pops are going too. Depending on the weather, we may end up anchoring out for most of it... we will see. But looks like we might have some good sailing.

Here is a shot of a couple of weeks ago. Nice, steady wind at 15. Nicest sail we have had in a while.

No photos here. But I'm teaching a group of students out on beautiful Lake Pontchartrain on Saturday afternoon.

We're headed to the boat too... We might actually raise the sails (own our own boat) for the first time this year! Very excited to be sailing rather than installing a mooring, a bilge and working on the brightwork.

Nice pics CD!

I usually go to the boat Friday thru Monday but can't go until tomorrow this weekend. Daysailing all three days. Sunday's sail will be with most of the family and I'm really looking forward that and the seabreeze.

Thank ya, my friend. Poor ole Tayana had to motor at FULL SPEED and have a 4000000000X zoom lens to get those shots. We were going so fast it took a 50000000000 shutter speed too. Who says you cannot travel at the speed of light!! HEHE!

PS Quit fixing everything and get out and go sailing!!! Geez, you are starting to sound like me!

Neither of these can be your boat....since they're both sailing. No brick barbeque grill on the boat in either photo.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Iflyka200s is on a distinguished road
I'm not writing anything... Last weekend I laid out all my plans... Then the little cat brings one of these Cane Toad - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia in through the cat door and $300+ later I spent the weekend watching over him (all are ok now!)

Gonna go wish my dad a happy fathers day!
