Around the corner at the waterfront they should still be racing 420's

I'd LOVE to be at Cedar Point YC frostbiting lasers but of course I HAD to move to landlocked upstate NY

well at least I could start putting the boat back together, might kill some time until the snow starts falling

Below average I can handle. I kept saying it'll get better in December. Then I said it'll get better by January.

This is just brutal... at some point, you snap.

Well, then, that move to Florida w/sex change and LPGA career is looking pretty good for you!!!.....you're a sexy bitch, steve!!!!

Established so far:
1. The EC winter sucks
2. You all suck
3. The Red Sox suck
4. A lot of people have gone to college-and still suck
5. No TR on the 1lb buger...that sucks!

And attempting to unite the thread hijacks....

Any former Ithaca-ites sail on Cayuga Lake? I worked foredeck on a Ranger 29 in the Ithaca Yacht club cruising fleet sunday races for a few years in the mid 90's.

Got offers but none of them appealed to me. I think at that point I was considering throwing myself off one of the bridges from the lack of salt water and the insane people I was living with.

I "windsurfed" on an occasional 20+ knot gust. I never had the chance (or time) to sail Cayuga. I sailed J24's summers at Boston Sailing Center for about seven years in the eighties.

Do you know any of the old crew at Community Boating on the Charles ? Commodore BOB Conn ? I still kitesurf and snowboard with Bob.

Still feeling the ugly after effects of New Years Eve. Excessive amounts of sailor Jerry, Ribs and a pork shoulder and the drink dubbed "scorpion bowl" in the giant vat that made the room spin a bit.

**TeleSlayer** · 01-02-2007, 08:08 PM

yeah, but please don't move out here

Yep, I skied it Sunday. The skiing was okay. I actually only hit a few rocks, and they were only on the bottom 1/4. It was defiantly more about the views and the tour then the skiing though. Skiing the moguls on Lynx in the afternoon was fun too.
