O SEGREDO FROTA

Any sailing at the secret spot this weekend?

sunday would be most probable but i won't count out saturday yet...souther miss plays kansas here friday night(espn) so we will be tailgating fri night. if the spirit is willing and the flesh is able, saturday is preferred.

Are all of you "O SEGREDO FROTA" folk's doing shear-water?

good question, whats the deal?

I don't know...
that's why im asking you guys!

I don't think they know what shear-water is and nether do I

It's a regatta at OSYC.

oscean springs yacht club? sure, i'm in. have to verify dates, weekends get real busy for me this time of year but i always can squeeze in a day at the beach. near coastal forcast for this weekend says sunday will be 10-15 mph east winds, saturday 5-10. http://www.weather.com/outlook/recreation/boatandbeach/nearshoreforecast/USMS0033?zoneId=GMZ555 here is one of my favorite sites... http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=gpom6

Shearwater Pottery is a place ran for 80 or so years by the family of a world famous, local artist, Walter Anderson.... this is the guy who used to row out to horn island... live in a tent for a few months/weeks, and spend his time sketching and doing watercolors of the island scenery, wildlife, birds, etc.... Thus the Shearwater Regatta.

It's a triangles race... also in Oct will be the "SOS" (Singing River to Ocean Springs) drag race... in the spring, goes from SRYC to OSYC.. in the fall from OSYC to SRYC... about a 21 mile race along the coast... also a great sail....

Will see you secret fleet coastal rats on the H20 on Saturday.... Rob on DoubleTime Hobie 18.

have fun you secret fleeters! can't make it for saturday, but sunday is a real possibility...enjoy the coast, it's a peach!

shearwater...i was thinking clearwater, like florida...duh, being from pascagoula i should have known better. walter anderson was a genious, i love the way he drew.

general sortie call for sunday: report to west ship island for ice chest testing...that is all...over

better shot of our girl...

damn. . . . I gotta get my boat fixed :-/

We're having a raftup at either Ship or Cat (Smuggler's Cove) this next weekend 25th. Prolly be at Smuggler's Cove. Mostly big leaners from Long Beach YC but everyone's invited

This weekend? Saturday looks good.

Hi Terry,
was nice to meetcha there in Fla.

we'll prolly launch Miz B from the house here in OS Sat am and sail over to somewhere near
30 12.576, -89 05.823
That's Smuggler's Cove.

Unless the consensus is somewhere different, but I understand there's good depth right at that very point. Not that we have to worry about that 😉

Tami, do you have room to launch my 5.8 from your yard. I would of also need your help putting it together!!

hey tami, are you talking about launching from ocean springs and sailing to cat island? are ya'll camping or sailing back sat evening? i found a sweet spot in long beach to launch from(cat trax needed to cross 30 yards of beach). winds have and probably will be from the east(5-10 forcasted). tomorrow and thursday are blowing big time, mayby the wind will continue through the weekend...sounds great!! if the winds are ese to se, i will launch from the secret spot and enjoy the reach out past the beau and back around east deer island...

Hi boys,

I belong to Long Beach YC but we live in Fontainebleau. There's a ramp at the end of my street, goes into Simmons Bayou. That's where we'd launch Miz B and sail over.

Coastrat, my boat is an F-27GS trimaran (see avatar), we'd stay ON it. See above re: raftup. But the beach there at Smuggler's Cove is quite nice for camping, I expect you prolly know that

Steve, we could put your 5.8 together in my yard but we'd have to launch it somewhere else. I think our ramp would be a bit dicey, and then you'd have to sail up the twisty bayou or else get us to tow you. I have sailed it on my Sq but it wasn't easy, of course with a jib it would have been somewhat easier. If you were quite sure (-ahem-) about coming in on Sat, we could conceivably meet at LBYC and both of us launch from there.

i didn't think you were sailing out of ocean springs... if the wind is blowing i'll launch at the secret spot, if it's light then i might launch at long beach(another secret spot). just be a day sail for me as sunday is a religous holiday(saints vs falcons)...gonna keep a weather eye out!

Thanks Tami, I think I will launch with Terry and Coastrat.

ya'll remember that the 'round Cat race from Pass C YC is the weekend after this one...

but the link says going "inside" the island... presuming the north side, while ya'll going to take in the privacy of the southern shores...
