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.

Linda...some photos of Conception for you.
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?

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.
