Any towing shit breaks at some point, when mine fails, I'd rather have Dyneema bouncing off the Gelcoat and/or my family than steel….

Make it to an outstanding feature.
Use the most abrasion-resistant IH denim you can get your hands on.
Or it is time to convince H. to make a kevlar interwoven denim for motorcyclists and boat owners  8).

And we are away…..

Safe travels and make sure you’re flying the “Jack”…

[Giles]

It's not up.  I forgot, and I don't want to go out there and put it up.  It's rougher out here than I expected…..

[Giles]

Yeah, and we are beating into it…..It's going to be interesting going down The Needles Channel, we will have wind over tide.......

In any other news, you shamed me into doing it....

Have a great journey, I was just out running but the same sea, windy as usual today

[Giles]

Yeah, it was seriously sketchy in The Needles Channel

[goosehd]

I’m glad you guys are ok and there’s always the positive of testing your comfort levels.  You can do it all over again in Sakura when you bring her home
