Dude, thank you so much for posting those images. I just love um. Details in the images are just a hoot, like the little lantern you have below the American flag.
Regarding your images from your webpage, I'll always remember your rough weather sailing and then the image of you with the Beer girl.

You rock! Sail on...

Jim, thanks for sharing . . . especially fond of the one on port tack in front of the rocky shore.

No furler?

Nice photos. Jim, to Steve's comment / sail trim, would you mind describing how your spnkr is attached at the head and tack? Do you use a masthead spinnaker crane? Thanks

Those are nice! I'd like to get a couple of those in larger sizes for desktop pics.

The gallery link has a section for "desktop pics" but they're too small. It would be nice for members to add more/larger pics such as those above.

The lantern is a Home Depot solar powered LED night light. It comes on at dusk. During the summer, it will shine until about 3 AM (less in winter). My wife gave me 4 as a gift, her idea was that I would put them around the slip for night docking. I put 3 up at the house and hung that one on the transom. I like the little extra light at night, it is nice in the slip and a little extra on the stern or when anchored can't hurt.

The rocky shore is from one of the races around the Coronado Islands (15 miles offshore of San Diego). Craig is busy winching in the sheet to get that jib in even more. We were in quite a bit of wind in that shot. That is my hand-me-down racing jib from a Merit 25. It's about a 140% on my boat. Its a tri-radial mylar/laminate sail and points quite well.

Note me blowing by the much bigger Catalina 309 Shooting Star.

The spinnaker is attached at the head to a block that is out forward of the forestay. There is a pin in your masthead for this. Of course, the forestay must be attached to the aft pin!

There is a 6 foot mast track on the mast for the spinnaker ring. I have a full symmetrical spinnaker pole. So there is no "tack" for the spinnaker, this is not an asym. There is a pole lift line, fore guy (pole) line, and the pole holds the spin sheet "guy" line.

However -

The boat is rigged for an asym as well (I'll try to get a photo of that). I put a block on the anchor roller in front of the forestay and run that back to a jamb cleat in the cockpit for the asym tack line. The asym is borrowed from a friend so I don't use it often.

I believe that there was a request for another look at the Corona Girl:

I forgot these great shots from the Star/Pal Regatta, a charity event I do each year taking disadvantaged kids sailing with police officers (mine is on the bow).

Wow Dan, Small world. My brother lives in Rollins, on the west shore of Flathead Lake. He was a school teacher in Michigan and traveled the country every summer in his Airstream. He always loved Montana so he ended up retiring in Rollins. He has a 19ft runabout but also knows how to sail. Great photos!

Here are a few from my last outing this year......

Passage at the slip

Getting ready to go.

Sailing down river

Passing the marsh channel

Time is slipping away . . .

. . . like the tide flowing out.

Heading out to the Sound

Time to get back

and finally, last light . . .

. . . now's the time to say good night . . .

And what a fine season it was but now it's time for winter's long sleep. Another year passes away like sand through our fingers.
