Where in the world is Rocket Scott?

I once drank several mai tais flying to Maui.

My God. What did you do when you had to urinate? Where you forced to drink it?

Uh-oh. Do you suppose that figure 8 is for real?

That's what has me worried!

Looks like we are turning around and heading back to Hawaii. We’ve been pounding into waves the past few days and something finally broke. A bracket under the mast beam that connects to the chain plates (base of all the mast rigging that’s above deck). Referred to as the jock strap. I replaced it with some spectra that should be fine for going back downwind. Definitely an oh shit moment but thankfully not catastrophic.

Just wow. Thanks for the update. Godspeed on the return. I cannot imagine this in the WINTER.

Lucky they didn't lose their mast.

I had the forestay (forward most cable supporting the mast) part at the mast dog (where it attached to the mast) on my old catamaran on a brisk day. Nothing quite like having your mast free fall into your lap. At least it didn't hit us (me or my golden retriever), it fell right behind my head and we got whipped by the various cables and lines coming down hard, but just some bruises. This happened on Black Lake, ended up being assisted by a jet skier who was right there when it happened, and towed back to my friend's house by a homeowner who watched it from his dock. He got a six pack of good beer left on his dock the next time I was out after it was fixed.

You're probably right, Dan360.
I've not heard from him lately.

Currently I am in Minnesota reminding myself why I moved from this hot, oppressive heat, misQuito ridden hell hole 39 years ago.

Per the latest update, they’re making 8.5 knots in the right direction.

Thanks for the update.

That's gotta be a painful limp home....

Ocean + Little Sailboat + A Few 100 Miles = Hell fuck No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Scott may need a Custom Holster made when he gets back, for his giant Ballz.
