Dam, I hate looking at pictures like that when I'm going to be stuck in Canada for the winter. I wish I was there but I decided to buy a new motorcycle and skip the Baja for this year. The new bike will be arrive in Feb-Mar.

I am now using Photobucket to post multiple pictures on one post, but they expire within a very short time. I am working on solving this problem. In the meantime here are some pics of the Bay for you and I hope you enjoy them.

Thanks, Bob...but that first cat in line is not a 'hobie' (Hobie Cat)...it's my 'Prindle'. There are both good sailing catamarrans....Here's a story from a cat dealer in San Diego:

When I asked him the difference between a Hobie and a Prindle...He said, 'A Prindle is just a Hobie that's built better.'

I do think the Prindle goes better to weather than a Hobie. I 'almost' always beat my old amigo, Trent, went racing our cats...He was a fine sailor and after buying a new blue-hulled Hobie, named it 'Blue-By-You.' Here we are a few years back...neck-in-neck towards the finish line on a downwind course.

Pompano, why does it appear that your sails are confused?

Pompano - 1-9-2008 at 08:03 PM

Russ....those sails are just fine...I'm the one confused.

Seriously, that is known as flying downwind 'wing-on-wing'..the mainsail is starboard and the jib is port...or vice versa if you prefer. You are heading directly downwind when performing this manuever.

It's a fun thing to do. Mi old amigo, Trent, may he rest in peace, taught me how to do it. It allows you a teeny bit more speed downwind, thus beating your competition..if you do yours more efficiently.

In that photo I was just in the process of bringing the jib around.

Roger, thank you so much. I did indeed enjoy them. I miss it down that way a lot. Linda
