Mr Lee Monroe Presnell

Well....another friday, another great sail filled with adventure, wildlife, lots of laughter, sun, fun, cold beer, and hot women. could have been a little more wind but it was pleasant none the less.

some seals are just chicken

the "hunchfront of pt richmond".....

having fun yet?

our friend the goose is back...it never quite got the idea of "sit"

wednesday night

We had a very enjoyable sail tonight....a little on the windy side (in parts) and dry (for the most part.......that Carol!!). our top speed was (as I remember); 11.2 (or was it 18.2? [please leave a comment as to the top speed if you know better]). in honour of our admiral we tried to "carry the kite" both ways through ("I think we can carry both ways tonight/today") the channel.....as always; it didn't work.
There could be no "Light'nUp" without a "Mom"....thank you Mrs Cabrall.

Light'nUp by 'oonlight

The Light'n-up took second place in sat's " tri-island" race. we did our best and had alot of fun while doing it. went around treasure island, angel island, and red rock all to starboard trying to avoid a HUGE flood which never really seemed to give us any trouble. raced a few much bigger boats and corrected ahead of them. I believe we were beaten by a wylie 30 (please leave a comment if this is wrong). sorry no photos of the delicious lobster dinner that followed (you can just imagine the pile of used crustation). what follows (for a while anyway) are photos of the "official tri island race crew 2005"

tiff "do I really have to be up this early?....alright then I guess I had better have a beer too"

after the race on sat I drove up north for a the party in honor of mr and mrs jph. there was a soul band, lots of great people, chickens, dogs, cats, a sing-in around the fire, fresh air, moonshine, and big drops of water falling on me as I tried to sleep by the fire under the fog. great time all thanks.

another day on # 3...thanks for the fun...

this is "washing machine" affect that you get when flood and ebb tides meet...

they say that an Express 27 is such a way that you can trim your sails put the tiller in the middle and go to sleep if you would like.
