Fletch,
Its pretty easy to tell if the fabric & stitching is in good shape. The item I’m interested in is the one above. I wouldn’t be able to pull the trigger on it for a few weeks after I take some mesurments so no rush.

Thanks for reaching out.

Peace.

I couldn’t get the ebay link to work so would need to know what to ask for. fletchinflorida@gmail.com

1f I have any friends in the St. Augistine area that frequent sailors exchange let me know. There may be a used sail I’m interested in. Its hard to tell from pictures if the stitching, etc are rotton and needs a knowledgeable human eye/touch.

Peace

Sea scouts sounds like a great program, its a good dream to have :)

Self reliance is the away I would go if I were living on land, but no plans to do so. Building a cabin would be fun, maybe one day, I have a lot of sailing to do before that would happen.

Don’t know much about the windseeker, I think its a regular cut spinnaker. I’m really looking for an Asym or preferably a drifter. I really appreciate the offer though.

Capt Ron, cruising kids have the same magic to their childhoods. I really connected to the little ones in the cabin, they are really unspoiled by all the pollution most children are exposed to. Carla’s dad rented us an apartment in downtown Buenos Aires, we are really having fun doing big city stuff but it will get old soon. I’m so excited to return to Splendid and get back to work with my wife :)

Peace guys

Reminds me of a documentary film I saw recently on pbs, Arctic Son: Fulfilling the Dream. They brought there 4 y/o son along in Alaskan wild country to build a cabin. Great story, I fell in love with that family and the boy was amazing being raised in that manner. The mother does confess, when you go on an adventure there are risks, but I was jealous of how alive and grounded these people were, I think you would like the film.

Many men (and women) find great pleasure is self reliance in many different paths, land and sea, all over the world. Even right here in America, the most industrialized nation on earth, although, we do have to put up with some form of government intrusion, as do all paths. Few people have the drive, capabilities and frankly intelligence to do so. That leaves those of us whom seek this lifestyle a little peace of this ever shrinking planet, so that we may live a self reliant lifestyle or have the goal of reaching it.

I’ve been dreaming of opening Oklahomas first and only Sea Scout program. Donating the majority of the money I’ve made into that program providing bunches of opportunities for Boy Scouts and Sea Scouts. Making enough money (very small amount compared to what I currently earn) to survive and grow the program. By the way the dream includes getting out of Oklahome in the freezing winter and sailing in warmer climates. This is where capitolism is good.

I really enjoyed your post! Would a windseeker sail (Chute?, very light weight) from a Santana 35 be of any use to you or your sail plan?

Keep savoring those moments.

Your absolutely right I have gone to the dark side ;)

Isn’t that ownership? If you pull it up and give the land back to the sea as you leave that would be consistent with your philosophy; but selling it isn’t. Even you can be effected by the dark side.
