OK that pretty much sums up westerlies off the Chicagoland coast! Looks to me that on that day you folks were out on the gulf in a westerly breeze...

Well any way looks like fun. Still not relaxed enough on my Nacra to risk a cocktail or three but perhaps next summer. I think my real issue is Lake M...

OK Andrew Three comments...Love the beer holder..Where did you find it? Glad to see you have your priorities straight. Two: very brave with that vide...

We have a Supercat at our beach that sits on wheels. Two sets in fact. I believe that too has a ten foot beam. Don't know where they got them but at ...

Oh no. I was stating that the only solution from my POV is a set of commercial beach cat wheels for an 18 vs trying a home made solution. I was respon...

Where is the crack?

They work great. We move 18's, Nacra's, Tigers, all day long on em. You'll need a set of cradles with your wheels. I cannot imagine who would try to m...

Agree..The tires and bearings are patented and not available from any industrial supply store. The bearings are designed to resist sand and water. I...

Know what? At $500 these things are too cheap to complain about. They are superbly engineered and the components are proprietary. You will be hard pre...

Seems to me that depends on where the top battens are when you do that. Perhaps the pockets could be repositioned. A skilled sailmaker could probably...

I can second the Cathouse. They know their stuff and will get you a fair deal. I buy all my parts through them and call them for tech advice. They are...

Those things are dangerous if you slip and fall fly fishing. Anyway, I'd go with a thick wetsuit, boots and a windshell. Cheers

NO WADERS!!!! You'll be a corpse on the bottom! They'll fill and pull you down like an anchor. I looked at dry suits and was shocked at the price. A g...

You were fortunate. That we need wetsuits up north this time of year cannot be emphasized enough. We had a race in June where the fleet was hit by a ...

Great content. When I get back from my travels I intend to post some Glencoe beach sailing shots. What camera do you use? I imagine something weatherp...

Strange. Wonder if they adjust their fees accordingly! There was a day last summer when the wind was cranking. We had two on the traps and me as pilo...

Now to return you to your regularly scheduled program content!!!! Shutting down for the season this weekend and building my spring maintenance and ...

No problem. If you ever have any questions don't heasitate to e-mail me. Sounds like Diamond is already pretty compliant and obviously bonded to you s...

They served three purposes in Ancient Japan. 1) Village Rat Catcher 2)Track and Flush small game (they ran big circles around hunter) 3) Keep wounded ...

Thanks, we loved her despite her spectacular naughtiness. When they caught the rabbits generally there was no need to give them too much dinner that n...

Andrew..I stand corrected. Here are my two with Banzai in front.

Love to..How do I upload like you did with the Winged Nacra + Diamond Pic?

Hardwired to hunt. Once they lock on they stop listening. Constant vigilance. Banazi is mister compliant until he senses prey, then he's a wolf. (Who ...

Andrew, So you know the soulful Shiba guilt look! My wife agreed with me on the call. Cute PIC...I had a 5 year old B&T named Snickers who got hers...

PS Where did the wings come from?

Hard to tell here but is that a black and tan Shiba Inu? Great pic! Doubt my Shiba would tolerate that.

RE: 15 Minutes.....We don't get anything else done! Our washing machine died and we should have been out getting a new one this weekend. I contracted ...

Last weekend on Lake Michigan for us sadly. Forecast was 10-15 both days but never materialized. Still beautiful weather but no long trapeze runs. It ...

Congrats!
