I alternate fairly regularly with other stuff, a lot of "San Juan Isles" pics from you guys but at the risk of pumping up Jim I just love this shot. Thanks to whoever took it! Knotty Cat maybe?

The spinnaker shot of Classical Cat (Gary Norgan) and Indiscipline (me) was taken by Charlie Roberts on CsAngel.

This is my screen background right now but I change them often.



From Newport-Ensenada 2008


I love that shot from Frank's lake!

Mine used to be Frank's pic of a C25 in high winds in a race. However, I took this one from our balloon flight this Spring. It was taken about 7 miles north of Santa Rosa CA of another balloon taking off.

Oh you mean the boat... no, clueless. If I were to make something up (as I often do), I would call it a Corsair. She looks like a VLT Very Large Tender designed to run between an offshore fleet and the coast they are occupying.

That's the Jayhawk--a schooner built for sailing in brown water.

Thanks Dave, I laughed hard. This is at our boat house on the river, the arKansas River. It is a sistership of the real Jayhawk and a fair desktop photo as well.

Its a Schooner.
Schooners were the workhorse of the Atlantic for nearly 200 years. They were used for fishing, coastal freight and for racing.

Canada's most famous Schooner is the Bluenose.
