June 18th and the sunfish is not in the water yet, and the Beth Canoe is not done yet.... Hoping to put the Sunfish in the water this weekend...

Getting started on building a Beth Sailing Canoe, Slow going, doing it by hand, no power tools, minus sanding. Got bottom and sides cut out, need to get the top cut and will be ready to start putting it together.

sailed a Hobie cat for past four daze. fun but like the single hull better, not sure why, but coming down wind, tends to burry the front of the hulls. went scuba diving, saw my first shark, 8 ft nurse, in open water... was at the bottom, 70 ft down, in a cave, glad for that.. heading to mo-town on Saturday.

dale and I went out on a great summer sail today. dale was at the bow when we hit a gust of wind hit out starboard, she overcompensated and was her first time overboard!

Dry for the most part started very wet. The cockpit was half full with water at the start. Started tacking upwind and then the water drained out of the self-bailing hole. By the time I made my turn for home it was dry, minus the sweat from my bottle of Ice water. Good sail.

here we are sailing in 83 degree weather and a rare windy day int July without a storm chasing us. good tacks and jibes. with people watching. rock on good wind today.
