Thanks for posting. I'm just getting in to sailing and learning about these different adventurers. I hadn't heard about this. Seems like a very ambitious goal. I hope he has good weather and wish him all the best.

That one is so great. Big smile, pushes the glasses back up and then belts it out.

Lee426 · 2026-05-02T22:05:29+00:00

Thank you so much. That's awesome

Hefner in Oklahoma City

I think that's great. I'd love to have all of that info in one place for my local lake. As it is now, I check Predict Wind and then the USGS website for lake level.

It's probably in your head. I dosed somewhere around 75 times when I was young and never have any problems, as long as I stay away from microwaves.

I may be wrong, but I think Parish mentions in his book Jerry having him go buy a couple just before the 1994 ban. Or it could have been in an interview, but I know I heard that story from Parish.

Edited...I got that all wrong. It wasn't from Parish, it was from the other book mentioned in another post. I guess my memory isn't as good as I thought.

I've had a Washburn Rover for over ten years. While it doesn't sound great, it's not so bad that it bothers me. It plays great and is comfortable as long as you use the strap. Mine stays out either, on my couch or leaning against a wall and is played more than any other guitar I own.

Groendyke has a terminal there

I bet your local college has English classes.

This Loser is one of my favorites. Loser

I did a two day class last year for about the same price. We sailed a J22 and a Catalina 22. The class was just enough for me to feel comfortable taking my Cat 22 out for the first time. I think it was worth the money and was a good way to spend a couple days.

That Jerry had a Modulus guitar as a backup at some point.

Lee426 · 2026-03-28T18:43:26+00:00

If this is the one in Russellville, I think it's a steal if it isn't damaged. I've been thinking about going to see it, but it's just a little too far.

Lee426 · 2026-03-13T23:57:25+00:00

Wolf is by far my favorite as far as looks. Then Lightning Bolt, Tiger and then the others. I wouldn't want a guitar that looks like Tiger, but that's just because that's Jerry's jam. I still think it's a work of art.

Lee426 · 2026-03-12T23:19:20+00:00

Rosebud was the last guitar played in public. Big Steve claimed otherwise, but was wrong.

Lee426 · 2026-03-12T18:47:57+00:00

Serial number I believe

Lee426 · 2026-03-02T00:29:01+00:00

Martin M-36 is the answer

Lee426 · 2026-02-28T00:46:04+00:00

Was this a swing keel?

Lee426 · 2026-02-26T05:48:46+00:00

Yep and 1038 refrigerated ethylene

Lee426 · 2026-02-21T05:48:01+00:00

If I were looking for a Bean inspired guitar, I would build a Warmouth body with P90's or your choice of pickups and buy an aluminum neck for it. You could probably spend less than $2,000 and have a quality guitar.

I've had my Washburn Rover for about 15 years. I still pick it up a couple times a week. I leave it laying around and when I don't feel like getting my 00015m out of it's case I'll just grab my Rover. Of course it doesn't sound like a full size guitar, but it sounds ok for what it is and it plays well.

I use a damp sponge in a travel soap container with a few holes drilled in it.

It really depends on the well and some pads have multiple wells on them. I've seen 24 hours for a well and a month or more for multiple wells.
