Now I have to give sailing lessons? Jr. You are coming into the marina the wind is behind your you have plenty of speed when you get to your row of
berths you turn in, when you approach your berth you turn in directly into the wind and stop hopefully. if you were turning into a downwind berth you
could drop all of your sails if you knew when then slowing down turn in the berth with little momentum it can be done but chances are you will run up
on the dock. Or just make the corner of the berth, someone jumps off and pulls you in. Docking 101.

Well Popeye
I was referring to this; "That says it all, just hope you have an upwind berth when the motor dies."
"You are coming into the marina the wind is behind your you have plenty of speed when you get to your row of berths you turn in, when you approach
your berth you turn in directly into the wind and stop hopefully."
But I would like to see someone on a 40' boat with the wind behind them, turn that boat directly into the wind before pulling into a berth.
Especially in the Marinas I've been in.
I just think Naomi is lucky that she doesn't have you or I skipperin!

It's better to sail into an achorage and dink in. Once it took me 12 hours to sail into La Paz . So much for motors. It sucked I was so close yet so
far for so long!
BTW a headwind slip is a heck of alot easy'er to back out of too.

Its done quite a bit, the problem with that boat being Ferrocement and heavy it would not stop easily. It takes knowing your boat (experience) and
cahones.

JR - I will consider myself lucky once were sucessufully docked in La Paz!
I'm definatly no expert, but my we would go out racing with boats with fiberglass hulls and aluminum hulls and we'd win (well except for a couple of
times)...

Just get here safely, radio for help docking you will not have any trouble, If your going to Berkcovich you will be anchored or on a mooring.

Got it!! Will do... I like singing! And I like Irish beer! And I love Swiss cheese.... I'm sure I'll like them.
We used to have a trimaran named "Sweet Pea" that we kept in La Paz when we had the KIYOMI in Los Angeles.

I'm sure you'll do fine Naomi
Some people just don't understand the concept of ferro hulls. A concrete
boat Oh my God, that stuff doesn't float
Lady Margarita, the concrete hull we towed the steel hull back from Ensenada with is one of the most beautiful, as well as seaworthy boats I've been
on.
Mebbe we'll see ya down there sometime. I have a pretty good connection for sails n stuff.

Liberty ships World War 2 There was a total of 2000 built and of that 2000 only 24 were built of ferrocement because of a lack of steel. The same
thing happened in world war 1 they were short of steel and built ferrocement.

Once, I watched a guy sail hard down the lane, 360 over his own keel, backwind the jib and back into his slip.
There are sailors, and then there are SAILORS.

Kiyomi on the rocks
Saw a pic of Kiyomi on the rocks at Medano Blanco on Latitude 38's "lectronic latitude" web site. No one was hurt. Guess they should of had a motor.
Tragic.
From the article:
Danielle Dignan checks in from Mexico: "I'm a freelance writer from San Francisco. My husband and I are in Baja teaching expedition sailing for NOLS
(National Outdoor Leadership School) and just came upon a pretty recent ferrocement sailboat wreck. Here are some pics of it at Medano Blanco (between
Conception and Pulpito). We think it went on the rocks around November 20. No one was hurt. We heard from the fishermen at San Nicolas that it was two
young men sailing their deceased father or grandfather's boat to La Paz."
According to the graphics on the stern, the boat was the Kiyomi from Los Angeles.
