Title: Have a 16' carbon whisker pole, needs a temporary home near Seabrook
Post by: svShearwater on September 20, 2013, 04:15:45 PM
Hola,

I have a 16' foot carbon whisker pole that we use on our J/120 when cruising offshore.  Thing is that's not an appropriate piece of gear for PHRF racing a J Boat.  With Harvest Moon coming up, I'm looking for a place to store the whisker pole for a month or so.  We live in Austin and drive a small car, so transporting it back to Austin isn't very practical.  Does anyone have room in their garage near Seabrook for a whisker pole for a month or so?  Of course, happy to drop it off wherever this special place might be. 

We will be in Seabrook the weekend of October 12-13 and Wednesday October 16th. 

Thanks in advance!

Shearwater - I'm in a boat shed on Nasa 1 just a bit off TX 146, near the Classic Cafe. Plenty of room for your pole for a while.

As a backup plan, I have room at Seabrook Sailing Club.

Also, let me know if you need crew for HMR.

Jim W., Steve, and Jim A. (via PM) thanks so much for offers.  I've been travelling this week and wasn't able to respond quickly. 

Jim W. I'll give you a call to arrange a time to drop off the pole. 

Thanks again!
