South East / Re: A Flicka Gathering
Last post by Captain Kidd - May 15, 2026, 04:14 PMFrankly, I've not sailed on many different boats, but I have admired many from afar. The Flicka is definitely on that list.

West Wight Potter Yachts / Re: Cancelling Moss Landing sa...
Last post by gwhiz - May 15, 2026, 12:39 PMThanks for posting, Phil. I updated the calendar to indicate that it's canceled.
To anyone in the area who wants to join us, eight of us are going to dinner 5:30 PM on Saturday either in Moss Landing or Castroville (it's still being negotiated which restaurant). Please call or text me or Dana if you want to join us, I think we'll make a reservation. Numbers are on the roster.

Tales and Trip Reports / FL 120 and hull #3
Last post by Captain Kidd - May 15, 2026, 07:56 AMI've been checking in on the 120 FB page. You know who's there! Of course, lots of folks are posting pics and videos of many boats (40 boats there!). Got a few of Irish Pennant. Thought I'd share one plus a screenshot from a video (check out the Jim Kolb post for the video). I don't see a post from Charles yet except on the Welsford page. I'll let him share that pic-it's gorgeous!

South East / A Flicka Gathering
Last post by Wolverine - May 14, 2026, 08:14 PMMay 17-19 Oriental, NC's town dock is reserved for a gathering of Flickas. I spoke with a captain of a Flicka and he said there will be opportunities to sail on one. I will definitely be attending this.

TSBB General Talk / Re: Josh Kali’s Return
Last post by Wolverine - May 14, 2026, 08:10 PMYesterday I left our dock at 0920 on route to intercept Josh on Adam's Creek. (ICW) About 10 boats accompanied me and we sailed back to Oriental where a crowd was waiting to welcome him "home". The town presented him with a plaque stating the day was deemed, Josh Kali day. Josh was gracious enough to answer questions and pose for many, many pictures.

TSBB General Talk / Is it me? It’s probably me.
Last post by Wolverine - May 14, 2026, 08:05 PMWhen I come to this site I go straight to "Unread Posts". Lately, after reading a single post, the others don't appear when I tap on "Unread Posts". As if I had looked at them.

TSBB General Talk / Re: Lake Superior is still too...
Last post by noelH - May 14, 2026, 10:29 AMBit late, but first sail of the season yesterday. Once again the NWS Nearshore Forecast wasn't close to accurate. IIRC, 5-10kts from the SW squeaking over the radio as I was sailing across the Bay on a 4nm run to Oak Pt. in 5-10kts from the ENE. At least the hourly readings were correct. Unfortunately. S. side of the Bay to Houghton Pt run of ~6nm ended half way mid bay. Wind was getting lighter and lighter as I approached the mouth of the Bay. LaPoint report was 3kts. Maybe why the two other sails I saw, the only sails were in the Bay? Headed back to the foot of the Bay. Wind picked up a bit. Then dropped. Done. Not into "drift" sailing.
Water temp was painfully cold. While "drifting" I dropped the hand into the water. Didn't take long for discomfort to kick in. Sunny sky with temps onshore into the mid 60sF. Headed out barefooted and in shorts. 1nm out. Socks, shoes, and over pants on. Bit more than chilly when in the shade of your sail. Still a fun shake down cruise. Vela still floats!
