Is mousing the spinnaker bag a peculiar O dock practice?<br /><br />Now the old time tall ship sailors would cat their anchors and mouse their shackles, so would they have been in a cat-and-mouse pursuit of anchoring?Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13417115374524861438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105989.post-90944379591468321792010-02-01T15:44:32.880-08:002010-02-01T15:44:32.880-08:00That must be the prettiest mouse nest of all time....That must be the prettiest mouse nest of all time.bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105989.post-30035113061942189972010-02-01T13:44:06.617-08:002010-02-01T13:44:06.617-08:00I believe the cause and effect relationship goes l...I believe the cause and effect relationship goes like this:<br /><br />first there is water, then there are yachts, thus there are yacht clubs, therefore there is gin.Valles Marinerishttp://evk4.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105989.post-54977049589227791142010-02-01T13:24:23.983-08:002010-02-01T13:24:23.983-08:00I thought the YC was formed when what they first t...I thought the YC was formed when what they first thought was water turned out to be gin.<br><br>Borealishttp://www.odock.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105989.post-84982578736799829992010-02-01T13:14:51.698-08:002010-02-01T13:14:51.698-08:00Yes, the Mars YC was founded when water was discov...Yes, the Mars YC was founded when water was discovered on Mars.

The Got Wind and Water Photo boat had you on our target list for pictures and video. We caught some of the boats drifting along towards Blackaller at the very beginning, then swung around the fleet to see if we could get a money shot of the start with the GG Bridge in the background. At that point we noticed warn weather and plenty of wind to the East. The Moore fleet was rapidly gaining on TI. We saw others heading on the river of flood through the slot and opted for some shots of spinnakers at TI. Never saw you even though we followed the herd north to Red Rock. - Next year . . .Captain Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12380124940117758949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105989.post-4540244250132366352010-01-31T20:27:19.439-08:002010-01-31T20:27:19.439-08:00Sorry about the spinnaker.

I'll check and put a note on your blog if I do.<br /><br />I kept looking at the sail and was pretty sure it wasn't a C22 (I used to own one) but honestly we were so busy cracking up about the spinnaker that we didn't look too closely.EVK4https://www.blogger.com/profile/02797338920913749383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5105989.post-52154908272621669692010-01-31T18:37:35.352-08:002010-01-31T18:37:35.352-08:00Edward, this is the best post about racing you hav...Edward, this is the best post about racing you have ever written.

I think that "Catalina 22" was me in the Catalina 250 wing and wing. We were one of about five boats that made it around Blackaller before the parking lot. To stay in the flood and SE breeze in the middle of the bay, we left Angel Island to port. You caught us just before Southampton, I think and left us way behind on the way to YB. But with Blackaller already checked off our list, we caught you at the line coming the other way. Finished at 16:43.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784827159694670675noreply@blogger.com
