( Read some stuff while the pictures load up. )
Here's a little story and a few more pictures.
Been sailing for abt ten years.
We do mid winter trips, stay out up to 9 days at a time.
Pay no attn: to the Beer Cans under my feet
There not mine ! I only stand on them to see better
over the Bow, as A navagational tool.
On three occasions now have been caught up in 11 foot seas,
At that time we don a harnes conected to a line
going from the front Of the boat to the back.
At one time hv accualy participated in saving a mans life
in a dingie adrift in high seas at 3 in the morning.
He felt it necessary to re-locate his anchor.(Too close
to the rocks as the tide lowerd.)As he replaced one of
his two anchors
and let go of the anchor rode, the Island canyon winds
where too much as he tried to row his way back, drifting,
drifting farther out and yelling loudly HEEEEEEEELP!!!
We were awakend to his cries and went into action.
On the radio we contacted a dive boat in the next cove
downwind. They went out looking with search lights and 30
divers onboard located, rescued this man whoes only crewmate
onbord ( wife ) didnt even know how to
turn on the radio much less what channel (freq.) to use.
With 40 mph winds and gusts to 60,the conditions that
night (morning) were not faverable.
Because we were there ,because they were there ,
that man is alive to day. He made a wrong decision !
long story.!!!!!!!!
In bad weather we have rubber sutes and boots also GPS,
plus an exsesive amout of beer / margies to get us throuhg.
I know personally of two other boats that have had the weather
turn on them and have ship-wreaked on Santa Cruse .
May-Day Call's where heard,
No lives were lost, Boats were distroid .Jeff.
Cuyler harbor, San Miguel Island,Adjacent Point Concetion.
We attempt San Miguel every year.
Sometimes get there in three days
Sometimes in fourteen houres, if it looks good we pull shifts.
And some years we dont get there at all,
Depends on the weather.
Dinner time on the high seas.Spaghetti, and zucchini tonight.
After the anchore ordeal, this gets us where we want to go, and the eat'n is good.
Boats are not all fun, spent three months here at the boatyard and soon to do it again.
See my SAILING PAGE
This is something I am glad I
dont do anymore, can't
count the number of times I have
fallen off the back of this thing.
A few Mod's , Big tires, and low gears. A wild beast.
Yamaha DT-400
Another thing I don't do anymore
But I do miss it, In the Door. According to my altimeter
shown here at 7000 feet we are abt half way to jump-run
altitude at abt, 13000 where we get out. While headed back
to earth you can reach just under 240 miles per houre.
Just point youre nose to the big "X" at the drop zone below.
About a minute later the shute can provide up to 4 G's
of stopping force.This twin engine turbo-prop gets us to
altitude in abt. 30 minutes. Will never say it wasn't scarry
But it's the most fun you can have in a minute.
Only jumped -- 56 times.

I will continue changing these pages, stop back again.
