@kboyd We're removing the overboard discharge and glassing it over and replacing the old corroded water intake. Had to spin the whole stopcock to remove the discharge and it was so corroded the handle wouldn't move (since it's illegal to discharge in Puget Sound it had never been used (or […]

First in class, and we corrected out to second fastest overall on the long course. Tonic, a Peterson 34 rated 141 corrected out 7 minutes ahead of us. (our elapsed time was about 40 minutes quicker than him, but we were in a fast boat.) We didn't pass him until the second mark.

@kboyd I was going to ask how the survey turned out. I've got to take our Cat27 up to Seaview sometime this month for bottom paint (they have a sale for free haul out with paint job, which saves us $540.) And while there I've got to replace a couple of head plumbing valves and get the yard to […]

Dammit, I threw a buff in the wash last night and now it's missing. Dock out of Elliot Bay at 8am for a 10:40 start at Kingston. If you have any influence, please ask for the winds to be dialed up a smidge. Make it 12-15. Marine forecast (pzz135 ) says 5-10kts, 2ft waves. Weather underground […]

Doing the long course (the black line) on a boat that's PHRF 18 on Saturday. About 30 miles. If you don't know sailing, 18 is stupid fast. The boat I skipper is 129. The cruiser I crew on is 93. This boat is a "fast cruiser". The second fastest boat in our […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

It has all been rectified. Jalapeño takes its rightful 6th and 1st instead of 7th and 1st.

STOP THE COUNT. The official race results say we took 7th on the first race, not 6th, so we were deprived of one spot. It didn't make any difference though. A 1st and a 6th placed the same as a 1st and a 7th, which was 3rd in our class of 7, 13th in a fleet of 47.

Good day of racing. One of our club officers drove race 1, we took 6th out of 7. I drove race 2, we took first. Race three call at the windward mark. No final results, but I think our first race ruined our chances for an overall. I'll still be hitting refresh until they post the results.

Club race banquet tonight. Baked a jalapeno bread in honor of our boat, Jalapeno. Don't know what to do for our new Tabasco. Race at a different club this morning, forecast 3kts wind. Hope we finish before the dinner.

@kboyd I wish podcasters would start editing out the ritual "that's a great question." You hear it for every single question on every podcast. They're not all great questions, Brent.

Argh. So pissed off. Big Star (or something like Big Star) is playing Seattle Wednesday night and I have nigh unbreakable plans. I wish I had heard about it more than two days in advance. Here's one show I made it to. Alex bummed a smoke off me, just like he did every single time I ever saw him […]

@grogpod SO the bad news is they now say the electric feed for the light rail is killing fish in Lake Washington. The good news is it's mostly killing invasive species. They're still coming up with a fix, but expect one soon.
