Spotted On The Bay. Not Again Damn It!

Curses! Not a Force 5 in sight.



The dreaded sailors have come to conquer the Bay.



Where is the Tillerman? His evil minions are leaderless without his presence. Many were seen capsized, confused and flopping around the water.



The 2008 North American Laser Championship is underway at the St. Francis Yacht Club. It runs until the 27th. If you are in the Bay Area come on down to East Beach [Crissy Field] in San Francisco to watch the action. It was spectacular on Thursday.

Next stop, Davey Jones' Locker.

The five crew of the J/24 Juvenile Deliquent were rescued just seconds before their upturned boat sank stern-first into the waters of Weymouth Bay on Sunday. The incident happened in the first race of the British National Championships in winds of 25-29 knots and big seas. More at sailkarma.

Gidiup Little Horsey. Thomas Coville, Ride'm Cowboy !

"J'ai envie d'y aller, j'attends ça depuis des années!" déclarait Thomas Coville peu avant d'enjamber le ponton et d'embarquer sur le maxi-trimaran Sodeb'O. Ce mercredi, à 13h47, heure française, le solitaire a doublé le phare d'Ambrose, au large de New York.

Thomas Coville et Sodeb'O sont partis "tout schuss" pour une tentative de traversée de l'Atlantique à un tempo d'enfer. Un seul objectif: faire mieux que Francis Joyon, sur Idec, en 2005, soit 6 jours, 4 heures, 1 minute et 37 secondes pour rallier le Cap Lizard. Au moment du départ, le vent soufflait du Sud-Ouest et il devrait rapidement monter à une vingtaine de noeuds. Française | English

T. Boone Pickens Is The Man! [Video]

Here is a short video from his appearance on Squawk Box this morning.
[note: Squawk Box is the best business show on television IMHO]

Here is a longer version of Mr. Pickens explaining his plan to have the US move away from oil to other forms of energy. If he were running for President I would vote for him.
