Crew Finder / Icicle Series 2023
December 23, 2022, 06:03:00 PM
We are looking for new crew.  The average age on the boat is old.  We pride ourselves on teaching and not yelling.  We are in need of some grinders to help the old guys with the sails.  We have a lot of fun and we win more than lose.  I am the guy next to Walter in all the pictures and my cup says that.
I can be reached at vailshawn1@gmail.com or here or 2815073411  Boat is C&C 38 and has red hull.  We have dragons and a cool race flag.  We have regular crew but are in need of reinforcements.  Something about a life outside of racing. I just don't understand that.  Racing is all that should matter.

Galveston Bay Area Racing / Icicle Series
January 10, 2022, 03:38:39 PM
When I got up for the race not a whole lot of wind. I checked the radar weather 10-15 nothing exciting yet.  On the way to the start we kept looking at the radar and clouds We put a reef in....just in case it got wild and it did.  It was all i could do to keep from rounding up on the second leg.  We saw 28 in a puff but i bet it was higher.  I hope everybody made it around the course with out breaking anything.  Typical Icicle weather...Hang on!!!

Galveston Bay Area Racing / things that go bump
August 29, 2016, 07:28:27 AM
We found something and I have the exact coordinates because I was holding my GPS at the time.
N 29 deg 34.012'
W 94 deg 56.110'

Approx 5.46 miles out from Landry on 075 heading

If you have anything else the we can punch in to my GPS and not find them please post here.

It stopped the boat we were doing seven knots felt like a pipe kinda rolled over it and off we went.
Thanks

There is an Irwin 52 in the PHRF database named Kiva with an owner name Jan J. Buskup.  Does anyone have a contact number for them? Kevin has some rigging questions on my irwin.
