What to do when there is no wind.. Sailboat time...
 
no wind!!??

get a sailboat.

buy it used and beat up .. and get yourself a lot of sandpaper and some fiberglass epoxy and some paint and look what you can do...

plus.. the paint fumes for a sailboat are quite toxic.. you get a really nice high off them..

yeee haw.

This is the boat that Dan and I bought a couple months ago...

Nice!! I'm still working on my boat. Was up sanding last night. Hope to have all of the sanding done by the weekend.

When i was in saint augustine, there was a guy flying one of thoes in some light winds.. i had my kite up trying to milk it.. and he ends up flying it straight down into the water.

I found it pretty funny, but i'm sure thoes are expincive, and that had to suck lol



Bryan,
