I was wasting inline at the post office to mail off an ebay package and saw this pic on my phone. I decided it needed to be shared with the world wide web.

Going under Bridges

We have never taken 3Sum under a bridge unless she was on her trailer doing 65. This might come in handy.

Marinas around Tampa

West Florida Marinas around Tampa

We ran into this site that has info on marinas, anchorages and mooring fields around the ICW. Quite helpful.

Sailing to Sarasota for the holidays?




How about Marina Jacks in Sarasota? Mooring field is $18 and slip is $65.

3Sums Replacement some day.

3Sum Goes out Tomorrow!

Our plan is a role-reversal - Lisa is going to back the boat out and I'll handle the docklines. Lisa will kick out the amas and raise the mainsail. Should be interesting. We may even try a MOB drill.

3Sum and Lisa taking the Lift on the shakedown cruise

I added this cheesy banjo music because the mike on my camphone made it sound like we were going through a Force 12 gale. When I shot this, we hit some gusts upwards of 26 knots, but no heeling. Actually, it was quite stable, fast and not too unnerving. It was the first time 3Sum had been on the water in about 2 years!
