Small Craft Advisory 2, originally uploaded by gregwalsh.
We were supposed to go on a sailing trip this weekend. Unfortunately, there was a small craft advisory with winds gusting up to 25-30 knots. That is entirely too much wind for our boat.
An article about trying to run a blog while sailing off the coast of Mexico. It’s sounds hard but not impossible.
It’s sailing season again in the lovely Baltimore Harbor. Here is a re-post from mere weeks after I learned to sail. Hopefully, I’ll add to them before my ASA 103 Course.
In preparation for classes and shunning all of my multimedia instructional technology skills, I made a pdf of flash cards that contain important sailing terms for beginners. I’m sure there are WAY more terms, but this is my first downloadable thingy for people.
From the README:
You will need a printer with manual feed. I used the Epson CX4600.
There are 16 pages. The ODD numbered pages are the terms and the EVEN number pages are the definitions.
When you print, print the odd pages first. When they have printed, take them out as a stack and place them back into the paper feeder with the first printed page set up to be the first page printed. Go ahead and print the even pages then. Make sure you have the pages rotated correctly in the paper feeder.
After they are printed, make sure the term corresponds to the term on the back. Use a paper cutter or scissors to cut to the correct size.
Merry Christmas…I want this.

The weather in our neighborhood is on the right hand side now…thanks to iPuppy.
“The huge success of the summer movie sequel “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” underscores the subject’s broad romantic appeal. But the subculture emerged long before the original movie in July 2003, with some experts dating the trend back to the mid- to late-1990s.”
Um…I was in to it way before then. Like back during Voyage of the Mimi.

I wonder if Kippi would do as well as this cat… Probably not.

I learned first hand on Sunday that 90+ degree F weather is no good for sailing. Neither is a lack of wind…or a broken outboard engine.
