We have a crew member for the return trip needing a ride to Port A on Friday. Please message me if you can help.
Thanks

I think I will need to get that magic 8 ball trophy from last year to help pick a better route.

got mine in the mail in time for new years, the mail man even let it get a little wet. still works perfectly. Thanks

favorite spot is pit. I am a competent jib trimmer and spin trimmer. i have trimmed main a few times (but not raced) on the 105 and on other non-spin or asym boats. I am willing to work any position. You can email me through here or call 281 731 0329. I have raced on a symmetrical spin boat 1 time.

love it, even finally paid a due.

i have been toying with the zen idea of a home boat build, unfortunately my house was built before people owned cars. so no garage.  I would be willing to participate though.

it is stuck on the wine fridge full of beer

Great looking list.  What is the wind going to do? Conflicted forecasts are so much fun.

The Karma button is a guage of bluntness. Of course who is to say the quest for -1000 is a bad thing.

My experience with the Rum and Icicles (the last 2 years) is most of the boats stay clear of the area around channel mark 1 and 2 until a few (5 or so) minutes until their start time then they go in with gusto. (perfect practice is perfect performance) it does get trafficky.  after that, if they are ahead of you, they are winning.  You will get to know some of the more competitive crews and skippers with experience; Me personally, i bounce between a J80 and a J105 so maybe i have j colored glasses on, but as a group they are competitve with each other. There are a few National and World contender j 80 crew's here.  not to disparage the other classes i just don't run in their circles that often.

have fun, no luffing, give plenty of room, if you screw up own it, be as intense or relaxed as you want to be. did i say have fun.  The seabreeze kicks up pretty nicely when it is hot enough to melt concrete in downtown Houston so be ready for it.

cool brainstorming. my 2 cents...... how about getting local learn to sail firms to handle novice/know nothing joyriders, It is exposure for their programs and you never know they may still buy a boat eventually. A short class would deter the  beast riders that don't want to pay for the beast. It might give some new depth to the local crew base.

oops the east texas slipped out
