Re: Clothing optional sailing

Re: Clothing optional sailing

Tarzan carried a knife. Then again, he did cover his package - although that's probably to ensure the kiddies watching the movie don't ask too many questions.

Re: Sailnet Members from around the world check-in please.

Welcome! As much as I love sailing here on the Florida Panhandle, I really miss the majesty that comes with Puget Sounds sailing.

Re: Clothing optional sailing

This past Fall I managed to shirtless and shoeless, too - even so bold as to go without socks, all while wearing...gulp...shorts! I felt so vulnerable!

Then again, I don't have a tan to worry...

1st Onboard Sailnet App Check-in

I'm taking Fairweather (25 ft Catalina) out on Pensacola Bay, under the 3-Mile Bridge to enjoy a super sunny day. Thought I'd test out the app on iPhone. My bucket list is now complete.

Re: Don't need no lessons..just go..

Frikkin' AWESOME - that's what I should have done. I could have been a crusty old salt by now rather than a newbie.

Cool Re: Don't need no lessons..just go..

I now know, after years of waiting for just the right boat and moment and the stars to align etc., that I should have just bought a cheap but sailable boat even if it was just a 12 to 19 footer -...

Re: Don't need no lessons..just go..

You have a long, hard road of learning ahead of you before you feel comfortable with the 27-footer...about six hours. A couple of days out on the water and you'll be doing everything while taking a...

Re: Too Much, Too Soon?

This forum is frikkin' awesome - I've never even heard of a quick-stop/heave-to MOB maneuver.

Re: Too Much, Too Soon?

I'll give that a shot on Friday when I go out for the day. That and man overboard are the last things I need to master to the point where I don't have to think about how to do it.
