This is probably one of my favorite pics... mostly because I can't take pictures of myself sailing... this was taken on the Albemarle Sound, NC by another Mac26X "Compromise".

Image

Here is a pic of 3 Mac26X 's stopping for lunch after the same trip.

More like a Mac invasion...

"1" if by land (see Erik's picture)

and "2" if by sea

This is the 5-Mac landing force attacking preparing to unleash it's troops against the unsuspecting Oyster Creek Marina in St. Augustine, Fl...

Cheers,

"FOREVER" flying a second hand spinnaker as a cruising spinnaker on Virgin Basin, Lake Mead NV in light winds.

One of my favorite pictures of two regulars to the Mead Madness sail, Murv on "Wind Barry" and Newell on "Fast Sunday" making for Sandy Cove on Gregg Basin, Lake Mead NV

Very nice, Captain Kimo.

The spinnaker is not only a light-wind "must" - it's the prettiest sail any boat has got!

Finally got a nice one of Bossa Nova under all plain sail. Thanks to Bob & Barb Pulyer on S/V First Light.

This was yesterday, on the upper Chesapeake Bay; background is Pooles Island, an artillery target for Aberdeen Proving Grounds. Slightly disquieting to hear them testing a 25mm chain gun in the distance, but we were WELL outside the "red line"!

Going to drop the boat in the water on the 4th of May. Here is what a 7 year old blue hull looks like after 1 application of 3m compound, I application of Maguire clear shine wax and 1 application of Collinite fleet wax.

if you look close you can see the security boat with the machine gun mounted and ready between us and the carrier. They paced us for about 20 minutes before we tacked away. We use the channel markers for our race series in the bay.

one would think after a year here I could figure out how to post a picture here.
