Let's jump with Baydog into the Wayback Machine and visit some of his ancestors. There was nothing more fun when I was a kid than going out to fish....besides surfing.

Tillerman Tuesday.
I think I've become a convert. Do you think I should make a pilgrimage to Newport and sit at the feet of the Guru? I've heard that he is full of wisdom ....or is it something else?
My students love the Pico versus the sluggish Catalina 16.5. Who'd a thunk it, a Laser made from recycled milk jugs is more fun to sail.
Photos of my student..the last dinghy one of the year. Next up, keelboats.

The Best Sailing Video Ever!
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OG0-onhxS9M]
I've shown this video before, it's probably my favorite one about sailing. There are no flashing images of extreme antics backed by thumping music, just a simple launch from the beach with a day of sailing, fishing and mateship. For me, this video captures the true essence of the laid back sailing lifestyle.

Row it, surf it, or sail it; at $1500 for the base kit, the PT Spear by Port Townsend Watercraft is a great boat for the urban dweller who doesn't have a lot of space and would rather cartop a boat than use a trailer. It also comes in a nesting version (the PT 11), which would make a great tender for the ocean going sailor.
Read a review by Sandy Goodall - Sailing the PT 11.
In Case You Haven't Heard, It's Over!
The Fat Lady has sung!
Oracle Team USA (if you're a sailor, you already know this) made a dramatic comeback to snatch the America's Cup from what all the pundits (yours truly included) had said was a sure thing for the Kiwis.
The Cup, she's not going anywhere. She left her heart in San Francisco.
Kudos to Jimmy, Sir Ben, Sir Russell Coutts (I wonder if he can go home to New Zealand?), the crew of Oracle and yes, to Larry "The Shogun" Ellison for putting on a great effort and changing forever how sailboat races will be conducted in the future.
