CONGRATULATIONS on the second mile...Captain Abby..<br /><br />CONGRATULATIONS on the second milestone... and of course congrats on getting good wind. Most people do not understand that sometimes the wind we need for good sailing comes from Grey skies, foul weather and makes big waves... So I KNOW your enjoying yourself when you talk of 30kts of wind and 16kts of boat speed. Makes me envious... <br /><br />By the way... hitting the books may be a good idea.... "I love being outside weather its flat clam or rough. " I am sure that you mean flat CALM.... flat clam's are only good in chowder, and whether you mean weather or whether could be the difference in getting your blog returned with red circles saying " correct and re-submit" LOL...<br /><br />Sail Safe..

A half hour is about 30 minutes more than I would have been able to do. You’ll have other opportunities to work on school work but how many opportunities do you get to sit on the deck of an ocean racing sailboat as you blast your way to Cape Horn.<br /><br />Wow, Wild Eyes sure does like to get out and run. It sounds like she really is an exciting boat. It must really be a thrill right now for you with Cape Horn looming just over the horizon. Thanks so much for taking the time to write a comment to us while bouncing along the way you are. I agree that being on deck with the wind a sea spray hitting you is really exhilarating. I am envious, Abby.<br /><br />Take care and have fun.<br /><br />From Seattle, WA, USA<br />SaltyDogSaltyDoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12172364245254246073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578399656308603032.post-89907341970999840672010-03-14T16:01:02.191-07:002010-03-14T16:01:02.191-07:00It's good to see Jony the Pony back and I trus...It's good to see Jony the Pony back and I trust it is the real Jony the Pony (accept no substitutes!).
