Sailing - January 2011 - A Tale of Epic Adventure

Day One



I'm on 'vacation' - a week off between jobs. Left my prior gig after a couple years of chasing unreachable goals, blocked by a corporate culture that seemed incapable of doing the right thing. Too many egos, too much hastily thought out process - this was never going to be right.



It was time for a change - and while we're changing jobs, time for a little impromptu adventure. We set out mid-afternoon as the tide was running out to sea.

RIP Sean Collins 1952-2011

Sean Collins, the man who revolutionized the way surfers find the best waves with the surfline telephone report and surfline.com, passed away while playing tennis in Newport Beach the day after Christmas.

Many of the articles about Sean's passing indicate that his love for sea and surf and his knowledge of weather forecasting originated in his childhood while…

Hull #19 - Kaomi for sale

I may be sabotaging myself here, by sharing this, but Herb sent me the link to this listing for Hull #19 - Kaomi. http://ning.it/vxVhfc

I went down to visit her this morning.

She needs a great deal of cosmetic work on the exterior - The decks need to be stripped, the hull should probably be sanded and repainted, the topside as well, but her standing rigging looks almost brand new, her engine is shiny with only about 70 hours on it... The…

THE ROSTER

Muf, our Keeper of the Roster, has updated it.  But he still needs information on boats out there that he doesn't have, like new owners, old owners, where any of the boats are.  We don't post the roster on the web site, it is only sent to owners.  Please send him anything you might have, or call him at:

Captain Clyde's Newporter  sites:

and  

newporter.ning.com

The Ning site has been given a reprieve.   I have  transferred my Ning site to the blogspot site and will leave it there. I am keeping my Ning site open as a home for my photos and drawings.

Many of my photos there do not relate to Newporters, but a search through my collection may prove useful for your studies.

My drawings are not accurate in many respects as a result of the PAINT program used to draw them, There is no accurate scale and at best they are only useful to indicate some specific detail.  Some are inaccurate because of my poor memory.  Use them to help you think, not as a detailed presentation of the subject matter.

If any of you want to start a web site I suggest you remember what has happened to both my Ning site and this site (which is a Ning site) and remember that my Blogspot site is free and Blogspot's owner (Google) has promised to keep it that way.

 

Clyde's email:

camgphil@msn.com 

Put 'Newporter' on Subject Line.  Email is the best way to contact me.  I do not regularly look at this site or its messaging system.  Email will get to me post-haste.
