Is racking like fracking?

DOHH!!!

Dang late night . . .

No, like racking, stacking and packing.

Great idea adding that last page of the SI's... That should help RC alot, although I do enjoy seeing the creative ways folks record their results
For example: bilge soaked paper, a piece of cardboard beer box, brim of a hat, scraps of spinnaker....

I prefer beer soaked paper. Better then those you listed Chris. Provides the proper aroma for the following
party. If one can simultaneous spill beer all over oneself and show up soaked as well, well that's even better.

What a waste of beer. Shame on you Bee.

Bee · December 08, 2012, 05:15:46 PM

Just a sloppy old beer swilling phart.

Hello happy holidays

Does anyone know of a temperary deep slip that we can use for the icycle series in case there is a norther again. Firewater has spent some time in the mud. I know that HYC races we could get a slip there before the race. Did not know if anything was available through GBCA, Watergate, Seabrook, or Kemah marinas.

What do you draw Shawn?

shawn · December 28, 2012, 09:10:07 AM

Specs say 7' 6"

at Legend point next to Katana

shawn · December 28, 2012, 10:09:16 AM

Walter says 6'2" by boat documentation

at 6" on the depth sounder we start touching the mud.

Deepest marina here is Kemah Boardwalk. Stinger's draft is 6.5' and the only time we ever touched bottom was after Ike when the Bay was down a couple of feet. Even then what we hit was left over from Ike. Cliff Haddox kept Musica there and her draft was 8.5' I think. He still had a problem getting out of the Kemah channel.

Kemah Boardwalk does allow non-resident boats in --- 281-334-2284 --- but they are expensive. I moved Stinger there once during one of the 'canes that did not do much damage and what I remember was something like $30/night. Might be better to get a slip for a month ~$325 and then leave after the Icicles. If you try to do this, don't sign a contract.

I don't know of any marina that will let you in for free. Mostly and insurance issue I think.

Thanks Bee

It doesent hurt to ask around, nothing ventured nothing gained, and i didn't get slapped.

Anyhow that is what we might do move on friday and use a slip for getting out in the am. Unless we get a norther that lasts a week the day rate is cheaper.
Thanks again
