Florida guy sailed his Telstar to the Bahamas and had posted some pretty sweet pics of his boat with upgrades. I contacted him and am going to see if we can link up with him and see his upgrades in the near future. I like guys like this that think outside the box and enhance what they have.

Help this Guy find his Sailboat
Sailboat disappears from Intracoastal Waterway - wptv.com
PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. - The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office is looking for a 39 foot sailboat that disappeared from the Intracoastal Waterway where it was anchored near Riviera Beach.
The boat’s owner says the sailboat named “Tethys” was stolen sometime over the weekend.
“I’m devastated. It’s everything I’ve worked and put my heart into,” the boat’s owner Roger Rogers said.
Rogers says it is unusual for a sailboat to go missing. It is not insured and he fears it could already be hundreds of miles away.
“It’s still hard for me to comprehend that it is not gone,” Rogers said.
The sailboat has special meaning to Rogers because he became sober while learning to sail.
He was using his boat to give back to other people in a similar situation.
“Helping others who were in the situation I was and are now on the boat enjoying it. It was a bond that was deep rooted in our souls,” Rogers said.
Rogers says detectives are reviewing surveillance video up and down the Intracoastal and talking to bridge tenders.
If you have any information about the boat’s whereabouts, contact the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.
Our Typical Sailing Route
10.16 Miles. with a top speed of 7.39 k with an average of 3.8. Not bad for 3 foot chop and having the sails reefed.

Rogue Seas
We had about 3 foot chop and winds up to about 18. We had about 4 turns on the genoa. Still having problems with the genny and need to work on it again. It keeps getting stuck and very difficult to furl in the line. I have worked on it a handful of times and still am having an issue.

Memorial Day 2015 Sail on Tampa Bay
Our new vid from our sail over the weekend. It was HOT!! Lots of chop and not much wind. We were lazy hence the topping lift and lazy jacks still attached. The music is cheesy, but it isn't copyrighted, so that is a good thing.

Wind vane is Missing
Raymarine Windvane
I lost my windvane and think it is due in part to those pesky birds flying and crapping on all the boats in the marina. We were out sailing and the Admiral was complaining that she couldn't "steer the boat" because the wind kept spining around in the robust .0025 knot wind. upon closer examination, the wind vane was missing, but the anemometer was still there. I will need to drop the mast and replace the windvane. I called a local chandlery to get the vane and they wanted $800-1000 because they have to sell everything. I found a place online that just sold the vane and anemometer for $50. Now, I just have to figure out what I need to do to get it on there while it sits in the water.
