Excellent trip report, Rick. Thanks for the memories; I'm particularly glad you found Morgan and the peninsula at Amistad. But . . . too bad you didn't sail on...
For those of you who can't fit your board in your car/suv what do you do? Are you not worried that someone may steal your board if you go to work with your...
Yeah, I think Amistad is a sleeper. Supernice place to sail. Lots of water access and lots of water acreage (more like square mileage). Since I was sailing...

Ralph, If I'm going to leave my stuff alone for a while, I'll wrap a cable lock around my boards. I usually thread it through the footstraps and then around...
Sigh.........More troughyness I'm head'n to the coast first of June for 10 days. I hope this pattern breaks down. May and only 3 days on the water. John Grim...
The fishermen used to use kites to take their bait hundreds of yards downwind (straight offshore), blocking the entire beach from windsurfing. Glad THAT'S...
If it really won't fit in a car or SUV (I get 3 boards and 5 full rigs inside my little Subaru Impreza WRX), buy a van, alarm it, and put everything inside....

I don't know about this year or this time of the year, but construction noise would have gone unnoticed in past years, as the seagulls would have drowned it...
For Sale 12M Gaastra Nitro 2 sail --$235--. Very good condition. Great for those light wind Seattle days, City League racing, or Formula use. Rigged mast...
Tkanks Don, I assumed it was Wednesday when I read the add. Guess I can't use the For Sale add to remind me when it is Wednesday. I am really wanting Friday...

Hi Eric: Sorry about that. I've never really quite understood when exactly is the best time to submit for sale ads to arrive on NW Windtalk on Wednesdays. In...

Best to submit ON Wednesdays, I think. Individual messages get forwarded to subscribers fairly quickly. (Digest mode being the exception, since it's only...
You used to be able to get "board lock" devices, that lock to the fin slot/box and let you run a cable through them. For masts, there was a device that you...
