... favorable conditions. We weathered the winds at anchor in Willoughby Harbor and, in fact, dragged anchor in a 35 knot squall early in the morning November 1.

Our "buddy boat" captain Bob delayed his crew arrival just as they were departing for the Detroit airport the morning of Oct 31. They would hold for word from Bob and have to arrange a new flight since one crew volunteer had a narrow window permitting his absence ...

... bringing the beast with us. The marketers could appreciate our sponsorship decals we post all over the RV.
I was not too worried about Josh's first competition. He could have warmed up at the first two which should have taken place before the Dawn of the Shred. Hotline Surf and Skate moved their dates to November 14th, which we already have left town for that, and WRV's competition ...

... and Seale and their friend Vic on a day sail to Carter Creek off the Rappahannock River where they all live. It was a pleasant day with winds S 5-10. We wanted to give Hank an opportunity to sail the Catana 471 which he was close to taking possession of. At different times, we raised the main and jib, flew the main and code zero, flew the spinnaker alone, then back to main and jib. On Carter Creek, we anchored near Hank and Seale's house, then went in for ...

... really really really young last time my feet touched a skateboard, those originial plastic fish tail you see from the 70's and 80's. A friend Steve Holeczy was 9 or 10, and he had a indoor pool at his home which was drained. It was a classic kidney style, but really small and tight. This was my first exposure to skateboarding at that time, and I was already on the wrestling team, and had no problem jumping on the board and ...

... in. A few tuna and a wahoo thrown in made it a great day on the water.

I highly recommend deep sea fishing in Virginia Beach with Waterman Sportfishing. Next time you are in Virginia Beach you can find them at 757-753-3113. I believe they dock the boat at the Va Beach Fishing Center, 200 Winston Salem Ave., Virginia Beach VA 23451

... to that point when it comes. Now we need to worry about his birthday coming up. Any of those family, relatives, and friends that knows Josh well, if you wanted to send a gift, just deliver it or mail it to 518 S. Route 31, PO box 177, McHenry, Illinois. This Wednesday, I'll have that store deliver all the mail and packages to the State Park where we're living at the moment in time for a small birthday party for Josh this coming ...

... its flow rate. After the housing replacement, all tested out fine.

Dave placed a service call for our refrigeration due to the repetition of a problem we experienced two years ago when the refrigeration failed to chill. We just weren’t willing any longer to trust its reliability, which would be critical for successful long-term cruising. At the recommendation of the manufacturer and based on feedback from other Catana owners, Dave had a ...

Finally—back to sailing! We've spent Labor Day week out cruising with Alize. We left Norfolk September 5 sailing on pleasant, sunny N NE 10-15 kt winds to the Severn River on Mobjack Bay. This was the first upwind "test" of our new main sail and rudders. We took a long tack across the Bay then headed for Mobjack. Caught only a couple small bluefish on the clark spoon – no keepers. The next day we headed to ...

... Once I got into VA the temp dropped along with the sun. I had to make it to Staci's and Dereks, I wanted to surprise the kids. My odometer hit 13,000 miles which puts me at 10,000 on this trip. Now all I have left is about 4500 off road miles back to Oregon. I can't wait!
