Yes. Doodah. Sorry.

For Icicle #2, Zippity has Retired after finishing.
The 5th place point (1) now goes to Stinger.

See you all tomorrow for some warmer and sunnier weather!

Kudos to all who went out in the cold conditions, you're right sailors!
Apologies for the confusion with the Cruising Club results yesterday. I think I'll improve with practice. If anything looks amiss, please let me know ASAP, preferably by an email. (rdhunkins (at) Verizon (dot) net).
We're crunching the numbers for the updated club handicaps. Please provide your time if you did not already do so (i.e. you don't see your time above).
See you next Saturday!

The updated handicaps are posted on the GBCA web site. Thank you to the skippers who turned in their times. To those that did not, please provide them to Bob Hunkins (rdhunkins (at) verizon (dot) net) after the race.
Thanks, and see you again Saturday for Icicle #2!

Looking for two crew for Harvest Moon, to sail on Leopard, a S2 10.3. 34' LOA
Contact me at rdhunkins@verizon.net.

Thanks,
Bob Hunkins

Lakewood Yacht Services told me they don't service engines anymore. Dennis passed away, apparently.

Can anyone recommend someone who can troubleshoot and fix a Yanmar Engine instrument panel? The one on my boat has no audible alarm, and the temperature and pressure gauges don't read out.
Thanks,
Bob Hunkins

S/V LEOPARD will shortly sail in Bay Cup I, with plans to sail most Galveston Bay races and the Harvest Moon Regatta.  She is a S2 10.3, (34') built on scientific principles, her keel being laid down in 1983. Her PHRF rating is 129, using the SPINNAKER, 141 without.

The Leopard is owned and commanded by Bob Hunkins, who with his 17' Day Sailer, Surprise, has placed well in many local, regional, and national regattas.

Mr. Hunkins  has been prevailed upon to accept a few more Hands. Only exceptionally wide-awake, intelligent individuals will be entertained, capable of applying themselves to learning the high art of seamanship; but PERHAPS YOU ARE THE LUCKY ONE! Hurry, there is no time to be lost. CONTACT Bob Hunkins at 281-216-4082 or email rdhunkins@verizon.net ? YOU MAY BE THE LUCKY PERSON WHO IS ACCEPTED!

No troublesome formalities. The best of provisions at 16 oz to the pound, FREE BEER, WINE and GROG! A health-giving, wealth-giving cruise. Be healthy and wealthy and wise, and bless the day you came aboard the LEOPARD!

GOD BLESS TEXAS!

I've been asked to find a buyer for Jims Wells' Day Sailer.
I've posted details here:

I'm copying the information from the notice Jim's family posted on Facebook for those of you who don't see those posts.
-Bob Hunkins

Jim passed away peacefully at home today. His battle with ALS was physically demanding and his reward in heaven is near. The Wells family appreciates all of your love and support. The visitation will be held Sunday December 29 from 6-9 pm at Crowder Funeral Home in Webster (111 E. Medical Center Blvd.), with a Rosary at 7:30 p.m. The Requiem Mass will be said on Monday December 30 at 11:30 am, at Queen of Angels Catholic Church in Dickinson, TX (4100 Texas 3). Jim will be laid to rest at Mt. Olivet Catholic Cemetery at I-45 S. @ Hughes Rd., Exit 19, Dickinson, TX.

Anyone hear how the injured J/22 sailor is doing?

I am looking for a couple of people who want to do the Rum Races and beyond. Need people who can commit to coming out, are willing to learn, be part of a team that wants to compete, and have fun.
Contact Bob at 281-216-4082.

In case you have had trouble finding it, the notice of race is here:

Has anyone moved a 30'+ boat from one of the inland lakes, like Texoma, to this area? I'd like to get advice and/ or recommendations on who can do it, approximate costs, what's involved, etc.

Thanks,
Bob Hunkins
