Have a good time Nilsen, and as usual make the trip pleasant for your kids, it'll be with them (the experience) the rest of their lives.

Have a good time out there. We caught a bad storn about 8 miles out yesterday I had time to raise the storm jib and reef the main but the wife was terrified. I was having a blast myself a little rough weather makes for a good sail imo. Alls well that ends well

Red sky morning sailors warning!

Fair winds and following seas...

Good sailing!..

Thx..

Mia is to young to understand whats happening so we will take it very easy with only short stints between marinas, islands and fishing communities. When we get down to my parents summerhouse in a couple of days ill put them ashore for one day and take 3 of mymates out for some serious sailing before they get back on.

-edit- main reason for going analog is cause my gf is getting seriously upset with my puter habbits so i promised her to leave the lappie at home... she does have a point.

I know no one's going to believe this....., but..... I just met a divorced ex-model (furs) through Match.com that has here ex's 26' Hunter on the Chesapeake and wants me to show here how to sail it..!!

I just hope he dosen't show up with the Chainsaw to claim his 'half' of the boat...
