Well, I've been gone for a little while, but this board's allure is strong. Been doing lots of sailing, and I've never shared a picture of me before, so here are some racing pictures with me. (I'm the kid in the yellow hat......duh) Anyway, got second place overall in this regatta in Portland, Oregon. Was in Seattle the week before that for sailing, and will be in Bellingham Washington next weekend.......yeah! these are FJ's btw: anyway, hope all is well, I'll be around as always it seems...... |

btw i always thought you were the guy in your avatar blatant.. so who is this ? |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I'm pretty gash at sailing although I've done a reasonable amount. I prefer windsurfing and kayaking. Inflatable rib powerboats are great too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the guy in my avatar is Scott Lucas of Local H man, I WISH I looked that bad ass. |

I find nothing more rewarding than sailing. In the sun, the rain, wind, calm, it's always a physical remove from where you normally are. It gets me out of places that hurt and try me, and it focuses my energy on being the best I can. I've learned a lot from sailing, a good amount has nothing to do with boats. |

Congrats on placing echo.... Good to hear from ya, hope your having fun!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
you've got to get on the water then. Doesn't a part of you ache for lack of a release? Fucking get out on the water and enjoy it, make it a priority. I guess I say all this cuz I've really learned the importance of taking care of yourself, no one is going to do it for you, so make sure you do it for yourself. |

thanks m8 I sailed Varsity A too, which is the hardest division, and I'm a light (130lbs) sophomore with a light crew (125lbs) In the heavy stuff we can't hike the boat flat, but in the light stuff we are very fast. Getting better all the time. |

I don't have anyone to Kayak with and I don't have a roofrack to transport my brother's kayak which I use :( I've been meaning to take fencing back up as well. I used to kick ass at that. |

batlant I was in portland for 2 months back in 1990 oregon is beautiful |

fucking go at it man. Don't like time stand between you and your desires. Fucking drag your damn kayak to the water, doesn't matter. When you embrace your passions, you release your happiness, ultimetly reviving yourself. |
||||||||

I love living here, and Portland is a really great combination of big city/small green home town. I love it here. |

sorry I wrote batlant... I meant Blatant |
||||||||

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hey man, I took offense, but a little while, and kinda thinking/reading about how you meant it, I decided to come back. You've always been kind to me too, so I have no reason to believe you meant much malice from it. Water under bridge mate. Go sailing. |

| |||||||||
|

Its going down the drain since you arrived here sky. |

list all of my destructive actions that helped it go down then. |

i don't wanna start a new topic for it, so who else is sailing here on the board and on what ? i got a topcat www.topcat.de |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so you're ZA£OGA K1 w/ Marek Grusznic & Marcin Grusznic??? that is fucking awesome. I'm not a big fan of traps, but flying a hull in decent wind beats eating waves in the bathtubs I sail sometimes, though I do love FJs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
only trapped on a Hobbie 16, and drove with a kid on the wire in a 420. Man, reaching down, catching the puffs and getting the boat on a plane, with a guy onm on the wire, fucking crazy fun, though I did submarine us =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yep, we aren't so good, but the racing is just wonderful. forget about hobby 16. we have 22,5 metres sail and 250 kilo ! that rocks. http://www.katamaran.pl/galery.htm there you have some pics of the biggest regata in poland, big party, lots of fun along the polish coast |
