We had a nothing short of spectacular day on Saturday with winds in the 18-25 range and 75 degrees sunny / dry weather. The wind was coming from the NW at an angle good to go the length of the lake on a beat in 2 tacks and cruise back home 7-8 knots all the way down.
We went to a really good airshow on Sunday: In short, a phenomenal weekend. This time along with spring are the best sailing seasons here, the fall racing season is in full swing and the weather is great. Fairly strong winds and temps in the mid - 60's - mid 70's during the day and 40's at night are fairly common from now through late November / early December. Las year, December was great too, we had an exciting sail on Christmas Eve.. The little Caframo Heater keeps the cabin cozy for overnights and is the only required 'Winterizing" step: I just need to make sure we leave it on duty when we close-up the boat for the work week and freezing starts to happen at night. -Francois 1990 34+ "Take Five" Lake Lanier, Georgia From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Chuck S via CnC-List Sent: Sunday, October 19, 2014 8:21 PM To: CNC boat owners, cnc-list Subject: Re: Stus-List sailing this weekend Went to my boat Saturday late. Stayed overnight and enjoyed the quiet and solitude, having the whole marina to myself. It dropped into the 40's and everyone else went home. Today I stayed in the slip because of the cool weather and gusty 20+ winds. No boats went sailing. Instead I finished a few projects and started few more, and made some new friends helping them with their boats. I always learn new techniques, watching how others do things. Found a lot of play in my steering last time out, so I tightened the cable and lubed it. Found a teaspoon of rust under the pedestal, so I think it's due for a new idler sheave mounting plate? That's probably why the cable got loose? I could only find complete assemblies for $450 online. All I need is the plate. The sheaves and uprights are fine. Has anybody else replaced theirs? I'd like to get a bronze one. Chuck Resolute 1990 C&C 34R Broad Creek, Magothy River, Md Regards
