So. Cal. sucks!

With temps in the low 70's & 15-20 knot winds blowing, how are we supposed to get the girls topside in their bathing suits while sailing?? You guys in Hawaii & south Florida have it made with the good weather! I can't wait for summer to finally get here!

We had been talking about it for awhile now, but I finally got the boys out sailing yesterday! Scott (450KnottOffice) and his wife Dawn, Richard (Motion) and Lily, my girl Sandra and myself went for a day sail out of Long Beach.



Our boat, 4th from the left. Queen Mary on the right, dwarfed by a Carnival Cruise ship.


Our boat "Charasmatic" a 42' Catalina with the gang onboard.


Clockwise from left: Scott, Dawn, Sandra, Lily, and Richard.


Richard & Lily


Scott at the helm... Always the pilot!


The Skipper (ME!) and his Mate.

Did you shave? Rolling Rock, what's the 33 stand for? Ah, drinking and boating. Remember, no dumping!

Nah... That's Scott's fave. I'm a Rolling Rock fan!
To be perfectly honest though Dave, I'm a COLD beer fan, especially when someone else is buying!

You were very close to where I live - in fact I go running by that section of the marina just about every day. Very cool.

That water has to have been C-O-L-D though!

Patrick, THANK YOU for the awesome day! We had a great time learning the subtleties of sailing from Captain Pat and gabbing with his lovely mate, Sandra and Scott & Dawn. Nice day!

Great pics (referring to the boat and scenery, you understand)!

But, am I to understand that you Cali boyz are complaining about the weather ??!!?? You should spend a couple of weeks in Sweden in February. That will calibrate your weather - judgment scale!

It was "only 82" on Sunday here. The margarita's tasted terrible sitting by the pool in the sun...

I really feel sorry for you guys!

You poor people!

Somebody melted all your pow-pow! That is so sad. Here is a pic for you. It's the least I can do to help you think about all the fun you could be having.

Better luck next year!
