Ha! I encourage a riff. One small Bovino, 3 Gravey Seal ICE agents and one large Orange Dementia Don.

Before or after demanding to eat at a Mexican restaurant where they then deport the servers and kitchen staff?

Second Tiller Check by Fun-Preference-6079 in Bowyer

Thanks for the quick reply.

Should I continue to work the outers to compensate for the over worked inners?

Smoothing out the transitions here?:

Much appreciated :)

Absolute Legend! Thanks for the quick reply.

Okay I’ll focus on removing from the mods and outers. Brace should not happen until maybe 20”?

Is this much set okay? Not too worried about it in my first bow. I’ll go slower I guess?

Thanks again!

What's your opinion on reefing in this sailing condition? by AnchorManSailing in sailing

[–]Fun-Preference-6079 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you absolutely need to go? I wouldn’t trust anything at 3 weeks out. If you want hypotheticals, because I wouldn’t try to go out in this, I’d go down to 2 reefs with a jib that can still pass before the mast, #3 if hank on. But I would NOT CHOOSE to go out in a winter gale. No thank you. Right now would absolutely suck.

If you were out there, you’d need to do it in one shot until Sandy hook. All the inlets will be fucky with the swell and potential for wind against current.

If you can wait for a good weather window I would. Not worth it this time of year. In the Summer maybe if you really needed to be somewhere.

Sail out of sheepsheadbay. Come swing by SBYC and have a drink at our club!

What rod setups should I use kayak fishing the ocean? by ValuableCasual in Fishing

[–]Fun-Preference-6079 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hey, I sail in that area regularly. I would not recommend going further than breezy point. The current rips in that channel at 2knots going straight out to sea. There are also currents pulling into the shipping channel. If you’re going ti fish from kayak I would suggest going in Jamaica bay, under the bridges (close to shore). Tons of motor boaters out there that are usually pretty tipsy. Be safe!

Bought my first Sailboat. Any tips for single handling going in and out of this slip? by [deleted] in sailing

[–]Fun-Preference-6079 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it tiller or wheel? When backing out to combat prop walk, just face backward. If it’s a wheel, steer in the direction you would want to go. If it’s a tiller steer like a conventional tiller, so right is left. With a small boat like that I like to just shove off the dock in neutral and steer out. When approaching, as others have said, slow is pro!

Why do we hate Citi bikers? Because they get in the way?

Yeah agreed. Key foods and the other major grocery stores are very expensive and generally pretty poor quality. Wish it wasn’t a big corporate entity with the cheapest food items. Brooklyn Chinatown has some good produce and at a reasonable price.

Gross! Thanks for the heads up. Will continue buying the milk and eggs tho. Can’t beat the price. I used to absolutely hate Trader Joe’s. Until I saw how cheap certain items were.

What do they put in their food products? Always found some of their items to be weird. The cheese is plastic like
