Lou,

I think that picture was taken the 1st day of March last year.  We
typically don't get snow after February.  Must have had something to do
with global warming.

Lee, Mike

I was out with the wife and our 21yr old autistic boy, Max yesterday  
on Rockaway Inlet.  With a nice N/NW breeze we ran south out of Mill  
Basin into Rockaway Inlet and the breeze quickly picked up.  I have  
a  WINDMATE now and I recorded a fresh breeze of 13 knots of gusts  
going to almost NOTHING  within a few minutes!
My main was reefed to my first batten. I have the old type roller  
boom and my headsail was out a bit too far, all the way to the upper  
stays.  Maybe those breezes were gusting past 13 when I felt them but  
I was the only small sailboat out yesterday.   The  fresh breeze   
brought the wind chill right now to the uncomfortable level real  
quick!  I wanted to keep her in the water all winter and without a  
cover I wouldve had to tarp her, but instead I m hauling out on Nov 3.

when was that picture taken with the boat covered in snow?

safe sails
