Default 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...







This is how it looks today.. will be dropped back in the water this afternoon!!

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

My no wind entertainment has been this lately:

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,
