Ice Sailing in Siberia
(Watch full screen)
Hey wait a minute!
If iceboats go "sailing" along, typically at 40 MPH (top speeds have hit 124 MPH), they seem lots more dangerous than sail/sail boats.
How come iceboat operators aren't required to obtain an operators permit/license?
I'll take the safety of a sail/sailboat any day.
We will be safely sailing to Catalina...
On a large and very safe Jeanneau 44' monohull
OR
Sail to Catalina on a safe and stable...
very very large and spacious, (and safe), 42' Catamaran.
I woke up at 6 AM this Saturday morning
with Neil Young's Harvest Moon playing in my head.
(??)
I'm sure I haven't heard it for a year or so.
Then putting a few finishing touches on the newsletter,
I noticed an intriguing comment left about Waterlust,
after the "Ice Sailing in Siberia" feature in this newsletter.
Hitting "play" on the R2AK film,
something familiar starts going through my mind at 11:52.
Maybe I need to start getting Wyewacket ready for a trip to Port Townsend.
Interestingly, Wyewacket is a PNW boat, competing in the Swiftsure,
Whidbey Island Race, Olson 30 Nationals, and weekend races out of Shilshole Bay Marina.
R2AK Race start June 8, 2020.
We sailed some of these same waters during our recent Canadian Gulf Islands cruise.
A beautiful experience with an incredible crew.
Our evening "after dinner discussions" at anchor were magical.
We laughed 'til we cried.
I really (strongly) recommend you take along a copy of one of Patrick McManus's books
to read out loud while at anchor, somewhere out in the Pacific Northwest wilderness.
The first folks to fill a boat for a "Learn to Sail" class in 2020,
will receive their very own Patrick McManus book
(to read at anchor somewhere out there).
