O SEGREDO FROTA

Susan and I are going to put the P19 in the Bay saturday- don't know when we will try to get to the 'secret place'; also got the sail out to see the number- 993, mylar too; got to visit a graphics shop and get some vinyl for the P19; did get to West Marine and Harbor Frieght today; replaced the shock cords on the trap lines, but got the wrong size for the center boards- and I had the old cord with me at the store.

lots of racing on the coast this weekend too...1699 @osyc, good party...gulf port multihull regatta, serious one design...dauphin island race on mobile bay, huge race...i'm just cruizing this weekend. perfect day for up and down the beach or rounding deer island. i might go to horn if the mood is right. i feel good about the boat, especially after the other weekend. good luck with "barefootin'" this weekend! come see us sometime!

does it have a smyth designed mylar? (like the one in my avatar pic, whether it be a pinhead or square top)

we will have to meet up one day this summer and compare setups.

not sure how seasoned of a sailor you are, but p19s are a wild ride so don't make your first outing in too big of a breeze :-O

Coastrat join us for 1699.... the wind will be sweet and the sailing fine... there's a few hobie 16s registered, so you could rock the P16. we have a few spin boats, a few non-spin.. and a few Waves registered... 3 classes like that....

course will be from middle of the area, go up windward , hang a left up to the beach... at the beach hang a left, sail by the beach and wave to the 1699 folks at ft. marapaus there (big ocean springs thing w/party, 5k run, etc, etc.. and the regatta)... and repeat the course.

we have a frenchmen dressed up liek D'Iberville to present awards in 1699 style clothing... going to be funny.

direct access to deer island may be tough w/smoking the sound... that side of the chanell will likely be blocked.

1699 gets you nice breakfast (breakfast cassaroles... grits, egges, coffee, etc.... beer while on the course... etc.. good folks good sailing.

otherwise.. will see you this summer.. sorry i missed you the other week.
cheers,
Rob.

Hey FU

Where do you launch in the Bay?
Any where to keep the boat on the beach overnight?
My Sis-in-law has a house in Pass.

that means the secret spot is nixed...i might be launching at osyc anyway. was thinking horn island for therapy and joining party later but i am easy 😎 should be there 11 ish... happy jazz fest!

sure man, come on down, no need to race anyway... share some sand on the beach and a cold pop, talk story w/everyone... gonna be great time... 5 spin boats, 5 non spin boats... and 5 hobie waves, kidds on 420s, etc... cheers man.. out.

see you there!!!

absolutely- sooner than later because I was very confused with what I have and what the OM indicated what should have been done!

Too late-- perhaps ignorance is bliss; no experience at all! we took off from the beach near the house and got knocked over before we even got under wind- then got 2 hours of pure excitement with no issues; even beat it back up to where we started

Ron,
there are quite a few cats on the beach on the pass side they not only stay overnight on the weekends, but are there continously; all owners have removed all rigging and sails etc, only the standing rigging and tramp remain- they have long screw hooks in the sand to tie the cat too- they want to keep them there when the tide comes up
the real challenge is a launch pad on the pass side or even on our side-- beach dolly is a must
in our case for launching- I pulled into the street perpendicular to the beach closer to Waveland-- backed the trailer right onto the beach, stopped short keeping the SUV off the sand, not wanting to chance getting stuck in the sand

now hear this... gonna escape tomorrow and hit secret spot...gotta train for slip-to-ship and test beer tempts. details, details. i advise blowing off work and joining, that is all.

wish i could.

one day ill get out there, one day.

what time? where you headed? got a radio, what channel (no pun intended).

I'm leaving work in mobile at noon, p/u a bud at gulfport airport at 2 and headed straight to the beach... boat is almost ready now.... hoping to rig the spin if I can get it right and fast... have a cooler on chill duty at this very moment... secret stash in a secret spot on the beach...ready to go....

so when adn where my friend? doubleTime... ANYTIME... cheers -Rob.

got radio...monitoring ch16...i'll keep my ears on!

now hear this...tetative coast trip for this weekend(sat or sun)...some showers so stay close in bay/channel...good winds 10-20kts...so as to test @ full capacity...over...

Bill We bee counting.. One thousand one.. One thousand two.. One thousand three.. I fugure 5 years befor Capt.. And.. Lose the radio takl.. Prindels have no radios.. Nore do their sailers. Get with it man!! Text is the way of the cool sailers. How you going to get a hottie on board with out a text or two?? Sides, if you did get one with that 10-4 -- over and out -- talk, she would be too olde to play on the tramp.. Prolly want a old fashion or a "pink hare lemonade" .. Perhaps you have a blender on the the "P" machine.. Actually a shaker would work. And she could check out your lats and pecks as the mix went down.. U got lats and pecks?? Fill the hatches with some ice.. Hiking straps hold the booz and mix. Nice plan.. Hal

well crap...looking like monday...good buddy...

and hal...OMG! UR SO RT RE: TXN...CHX DG TXN!!! CB IS SO 70s!!! and my lats are a peckin'!

monday works... hoping for some good weather, i'm looking for an excuse to chill at horn island for a while.

Mr B.. How can I be SOOOO right from this farr away. Have you ben handen out me cards.. Still have hotties callen but they bee looking for a diet center. May bee they looking for a nacra dude.. With no taste.. Those guys have no taste.. Even if they are from the fish fry !! Had to chill today. Was going to S F Bay for a spin with the locals. 15 to 20 with gusts of 35. No Way.. hard to keep the pizza on the tamp. Worked on the lateest arrival.. A H 18 Mag.. 1200$ I have put on a bit of weight at the BBQs latly. Need a raft type to suport the boy.. Especially cuz the crew is 195 lbs.. Two tenths of a ton is a bit much for the boat.. But she (the crew) is a bouncer and a bit squisheeee.. Nice.. Hav a good sunday at church!! Got to love it. Peace.. Harmony.. Love.. Good will to man ( and hotties. But "Monday" Get a real job.. Got a spot on the lot 4 U .. Thinking about a franchist in UT. Got Dustin thinken about it.. H

10-4 pal H

Hey Bill.. Check out the Prindel in the classified.. A 19 with alumimum runners. Heavy duty cruzer.. Think how many mor chicks you could get on the tramp with out sinking. Mabe take it up north in the winter and sail on some ice.. A larger keg on bord!! It is Calif.. Might buzz up there to check it out for you. Trade ya for some pro-fessional services. How much of my hoo hoo juce is it worth?? Love a trip to the middle ground to sail.. Hal

thinking of building a cat/submarine made of beer kegs...it's a sub when kegs are fresh and becomes a cat as beer gets drunked! when the last keg is drained, boy is it fast, you just don't remember it though...

on another note...i talked with the zen master gel coat guy and now have a great technique for spraying gel coat! can't wait to try on capt. backasswards boat...wouldn't want to learn on mine for god's sake. think about how sexy the lot would look with some brand new looking 30 something year old boats!!! prep up a few boats at a time and shoot them all at once, BAM!!! 600$ boat is now 2500$ boat! just need some hoo hoo juice to come down on...

Hose, hose, hose, hose, hose, my boat, with your love.

BILL... QUICK Grab those beach wheels in the ckas-e-ied.. They are the only ones wide enough for the beer-keg sub... The SUB !!What a great ider.. Under water for the forplay. Goen doun-wind. Sail home afterwards on top of the world. Going to take some training for hotties. How U goen to get hair dryers down there?? U Know.. Fluffy , that what the ladies like.. Also .. Rinse water. Gets that fish fry thing out of there..

I need to speak with the Zen Master. Got a few boats in the dealership that need a "can I get a witness" thing.. Especially my N5.2. Love the way she dances when I get her bow down in the H2O.. WoW.. but I sanded a bit too much on her but.. Bottom and her fibers glass pettie coat is showen.. Needs a Hi Priest to polish and cote her up. I, being olde and from the 60's thought of Mircle Auto. No Luck. They be out of bizzz.. All the glass shops aroun here be doing work on the glass with out the "g" "l"..

At the risk of boren ya-all ( Nice touch Hun??).. I ben meaning to try to get a "O SEGREDO FROTA" thing goen her on this coast. (Whats that mean Harry??) " Last weekend we would have been in the bar.. Winds 15 to 25.. Gusts to 35 40. Oh to live in the gulf. Is it the sun tan lotion than keeps the swells down.. OH NO. Makes thing swell. Got it. Know a guy in CA that would help with welding for the sub. A day or 5 on the mid coast and a bruski or two.. He bee there I will be driven him out there.. Hal

Bill Bill.. My pal the welder stoped by for a glass of WooHoo or two. Great id-ers from great mindes.. What a bout a spin on the sub !! Be great goen down.. wind.. got to worry about finishen too quick. Goen up.. wind.. get that puppie in the snuffer, mid-pole.. What was it you said.. Polish the pole. Just sayen!!
H

BILL. GET SOME GOOD BRUSKI !! No wonder your hotties are all 55-60 y old.. Blueribbon went out in the 60s.. Its IPAs and Pale Ale here and even Coors with Clamatto now a days. Hot!! 20 KT is not the answer. What am I payen U for. Got to take the lead here on my own.. We need to ne go ciate the deal. Scooped a H 18 on Craigs in CA ($1300) and one more on Beachcats for parts.. Honist Hals is on a roll.. H

well hal if it makes you feel better we had a sixer of bush tallboys...

a great day saturday on the gulf! winds not quite 20 but steady blowing...almost had horn island close hauled but winds shifted 1/2 way there so we turned around and had epic surf day back to osys...just need to stitch up my jib a little bit and i'm back down tomorrow...mayby go for ship this time..

It was a great sail. Good job Skipper Coastrat! And closing the loop with Robin at the Fillin' Station sure makes middle aged fat guys happy. I love you Robin. :girl: :catchchicken:

Looks like with a sixer on bord it dont matter how old the Hottties are.. Dident realize U were a sail maker.. So.. Up goes the price on our contract i pose.. And I do feel better. Did some homework on the H18 with some pail ale chilled jus right!! H
