Is your sail set up properly for the expect wind conditions?

BIL also launches his cat from 126th street stone harbor. I prefer the sunfish to the cat since the sunfish can actually turn and tack, the cat is much more limited to wind direction and back/forth sailing.

anybody check out the link to one of my sails? raceQs

Jenkins Sound, NJ - at high tide you can still stand in most places if you tip over, bottom is solid so the mast doesn't get stuck - wind almost always blowing - depending on wind conditions there are plenty of channels to do races or just cruise around different waterways I have an app on...

only complaint where I sail is having to coordinate with the tide (which still yields 8 hrs or so of water)

Where I launch down in NJ there are jackasses that break bottles along the dock. I use my "decommissioned" work shoes for sailing. I get new shoes every 6 months from work so there is an endless supply.

50F no suit needed (stay upright!)

take her out to a find restaurant, I know they are hard to find in NE PA so you might settle for Arby's. After dinner before you drop her off try for second base.

sell on craiglist for a lighter boat

gonna try this app for logging my route while sailing this week at the shore Odyssea - Track & share your sailing adventures! on the App Store anybody use an app to see where they sailed?

ORCA

daggerboard makes for an excellent paddle....easy to store on the boat as well

any dope can pilot a motor boat, it takes skill to navigate with the wind as your power source!

"home port" for me is Jenkins Sound in south Jersey. Can't wait until the weather warms up to sail. The sound (salt water) froze over this past winter.

Keep the car....get a hitch and trailer....good to go. http://www.etrailer.com/hitch-2010_Volvo_S80.htm

Repainting the center board and rudder. Would spar varnish be a good topcoat for protection from the elements?

every other weekend I am at Jenkins Sound near cape may courthouse NJ, great place to sail as long as you are at least 4 hours on either side of high tide

electric trolling motor with 12v deep cycle battery would be plenty to push a little sunfish safely to port. A lot of extra weight to carry though.

Ok so the sunfish is going to it's permanent home at the shore house this weekend. I am also thinking of doing some repairs to the sun room at the house. Normally I would take the truck and tow the boat down, but I've got a hitch on our 98 Jetta TDI which I pull the boat with as well...

gorilla glue survived in 15-20mph breeze (estimated), so for now I will leave it alone (with a good paddle just in case!)
