I hate rubbing it in, but we love it here. We have had some mid 60's days, but that is warm with the hot Florida sun. Yammy is out, for a boat ride, with her long time friends Maria and Blair. They are originally from Fayetteville, NY and are staying in an RV down here. One of those times when Facebook is great. It brought them together after almost 15 years. They have a 20' jet boat and are planning on water skiing today. My work is winding down for the day and I decided to write a quick blog.
The rigger's have come out and inspected the rig with no problems found. Once you have had a mast break, you tend to be even more paranoid. They also fixed a sloppy boom gooseneck problem. It is very common on cats due to the large mainsail twisting the boom.
We have gone out only once since we have been here. Hit 8 knots close hauled at 40 apparent in 15 knots. Still can't get over what the new sails have done for us.
We also went and sailed Sid and Bonnie's 43' french boat FIU. He is selling his boat in an effort to buy a catamaran. I wanted to see how it sailed and I was impressed. 43' long with a 15' beam and IOR hull shape, makes her very stable and fast. It was built in the same factory as our Lagoon, so we feel a kinship and plan to help them sell it. If anyone is interested in more info, just let us know.
1994 43' Custom, French designer Etarn and CNB built. Swing keel with 8' draft with board down and 4'5" board up. Stiff, stable, fast and huuuuge inside.
Yamm'y friend Blair in the background. He refuses to get his picture taken.
Tough day on the water for Maria
Morning Yoga. Can't do that in NY right now.
Being from New York, it doesn't really feel like Christmas here. Hey, who cares! Our sunset through the wreath,
Since I mentioned the King Mackerel, I had to include the photo of Yammy and her 30 lb catch from last year.
