OK, everyone always asks for more photos, I was just reading a newsletter and found another picture of sailing that I stole out of the news letter!
this is an "A CAT" it is unique to the Barnegat Bay.
they were very popular in the 1920's and a few of the originals were sailing up until recent years. Now there has been a lot of growth in the fleet and I think there are about 15 of them racing on the bay.. Still traditionally made, all wood Lots of Varnish... 28' pieces of furniture that we go out and sail and beat up! The boats name is RAVEN... (thats me, third person from the left)
This is just an occasional boat that I sail on, if you look at my previous posts on sailing you will see the pictures of the J24 that I sail most. Keep you fingers crossed for me, I am going sailing (racing) tonight for the first time in close to 2 months, I am tired of nursing an injury and miss it too much... If it hurts too much tomorrow I will only have myself to blame... Against Dr's orders!
Have a great week

My recurring theme, I hope you like the photos, as I find more I will post them. I hope it gives you some insight to how nice NJ can be.
Robert why do you do this to me?
Darin, you just need to get out on the water.
I ended up Racing last night... it started off windy and we had a long course with a lot of Spinnaker sets, so a lot of work for me.. I thought for sure I would wake up at 3am in pain, but luckilly I survived... Maybe I am getting better and can actually not hold back like I have been! And it was great that we won, that makes the pain worth it!
Don't hold back :)
Somehow, the Christopher Cross song 'Sailing' is coming to mind right now.
Nice boat. Looks like lots of fun. I like the idea of C. Cross singing that song. Very peaceful.
that's a great picture! everyone's keeping the boat level!~
