Damn! I'm flying in tonight--sorry I missed you. It was great meeting you. Have a safe and fun passage.

Keep in mind that my Ericson is a 1978 34-T, which has pinched ends and a very IOR inspireed hull shape. It is nothing like the later Ericson 34's. While most boats like to sail on their feet, many IOR boats were designed to sail on their ear and they perform much better there. You asked what...

It really depends on the boat. I have two boats and they both behave very differently. But before getting into that, you might want to find the AVS of your boat and describe that to your wife. The angle of vanishing stability is the point where the righting moment is zero and a capsized boat...

I'm more comfortable with private messages or email.

From the disgusting stories I heard about the last one, this was for very good reason. Shockingly nauseating stuff. And from what I heard is was NOT the Kaneohe Yacht Club people. The first-hand stories I got from people I trust makes me very happy those animals were not welcome this year.

Yeah, there is a group of liveaboards who drink and shoot the shit near Christian's boat beginning around 5:00 on Fridays. It's byob, byoc (chair) and bring some pupus. Nothing fancy--usually cheese and cold cuts or chips & salsa, etc. There is some free parking, but it's usually full. If...

I'm just curious, which boat are you hosting? Some friends are hosting a boat, too. At tomorrow's race in Kaneohe we'll probably be pressured into attending the Transpac party.

Christian, there is a facebook group called Ko Olina Marina Social Group, or something. That's where we get the weekly party info. Also, did you notice Phaedo3 at the opposite end of your dock? Fastest boat to do this crossing, and second in this year's Transpac. Their non-race record a...

The second best mai tai's on Earth are 1/2 mile from his slip at The Monkey Pod. The best ones are 100 feet off his stern--but it will take me 6 hours to make a batch of macadamia orgeat. The honey lilikoi foam is ready to go.

Aloha, Christian! Don't forget the dock party on Friday, 5ish, on D dock in front of the green Hunter salon deck. Signed, Anonymous, lol By the way--we love your umbrella. We had the same one on our Ericson, but brought it to Hawaii and fly it from our dock box to keep our dock recliners shaded.

Sven is on facebook cruisers/liveaboard forums, inexplicably posting under a different last name with a profile that says he's female. Same Sven, same Senta II, same Nancy. They shipped their boat through the canal to Florida. I know this because we were in a watermaker discussion on fb. I've...
