Just looked at the latest weather and I wish I had a spinnaker. Saturday morning slight breeze building to 8-10 knots in the afternoon.

I'll deliver the sail.

Wow what stunning weather today! Dry and cool. Perfect for outside travel.

Can't believe Macs are missing out this one. What a great unusual weather event for June.

Ditto from Syzygy. What a great trip. Definitely need to put this event in the rotation! Southport, Bald Head Island, Masonborro Reserve... and then Lynn and I staked out some beach front property on the sound side.

The Spinnaker worked great. We will have to get ahold of you and see what we can work out. 8)

Glad the sail worked for you. I know how much you like to fly one and it was just sitting around so I put two and two together. I'll pm you my number.

It's time again to start looking at the 2nd annual Southport Sail (Southport NC). We are tentatively scheduling it for the first or second weekend in June. So lets start by you letting me know which weekend works best for you and when we get a concensus we will finalize the dates. Alot of area to sail in so definitive plans are really not warranted but will make tentative plans a little later. Lets see if we can make this a sail to remember!!!! 8)

I don't think there is enough rust left holding the paint together on my trailer to make it anywhere over the road :|

Starting to get a bit hot in the canals by then...but that would be my route if I were to do it :!: I get about the same MPG towing and motoring slow, so wouldn't be any more expensive :) Would want to take about 2- 3 weeks though to have fun with it. Its certainly on my to do list at some point.
