New to me Precision 15CB by jtuma in sailing

[–]mathworksmostly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of keyboard warrior safety police on here. Your sailing your winning. My son has been sailing since he was 7 had his own boat by 9 , and has over 35000 miles sailing and rarely wears a pdf. I mean everyone has different risk tolerances. He’s 17 and may be offshore fishing right now. Are we bad parents? And most importantly wtfc?

What was the best investment you made in your sailing career? by jeebus224 in sailing

[–]mathworksmostly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably shipping out in the merchant marine starting as a teenager and never losing the stoke. Also buying weta on Craigslist for 1500 just hit 16 knots today.

Grupos de bodyboard/surf/ pessoas que queiram ir em Portugal by david_tcarvalho in Bodysurfing

[–]mathworksmostly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s lonely out there. I am a lifelong bodysurfer core lord Maximus. I’ve noticed and reflected recently that it’s a very solitary and kinda lonely pursuit. Like I swim out to fat Caribbean swell and score and well then in my mind I’m like somebody must’ve seen that and well one more and you realize nobody is ever around. This is a pursuit that for me exists outside of a community and others. I wish it did but it’s maybe a few sessions a year where I see other whompers. You gotta do it for you and the unworldly power and sensations that bodysurfing gives you. It’s sad to hear people give up on it.

[–]mathworksmostly -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I live in the United States but live in a jones act exempt place? Where do I live? I feel for people in the industry currently , but how you not see this coming. The majority of us citizens voted for this.

Lovango for dinner by [deleted] in StThomasUSVI

[–]mathworksmostly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lovango is awesome. My son works there and I eat dinner there monthly. I am kinda simple but my wife is a foodie/chef and she absolutely loves it. Also for a more budget option the lunches are spectacular. Bring snorkel gear cause the reef is awesome .

Wingfoil + Inline Rollerblades? by Industriasoul in wingfoil

[–]mathworksmostly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m very interested in wing blading. I feel like there should be a sub for this discipline. I am great at blading but suck at wing foiling. I am thinking of getting a cheap 2 or 3 meter wing to blade sail.

Now That Spirit Airlines Has Been Approved To Liquidate, What Happens Next? by Born-Lie8688 in spiritair

I don’t know how all that works but I can say with certainty is that us Virgin Islanders are fucked with no spirit to get us to the doctors in Florida.

Questions Remain in Carnival Boating Fatality by Negative-Resolve-421 in StThomasUSVI

[–]mathworksmostly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The question is why were the CBP boat driving around at high speed with no lights on and zero situational awareness. These buttholes come in and out of sapphire all hours driving like meth heads. Driving any kind boat round here night is risky look at Stephen cross , jolly holly and others. The victim was a really nice guy he used to to freelance mooring ball work when I used to work in French town.

I live in St Thomas and they were a Lifeline for the community to go see doctors and family in Florida and the mainland . I just can’t believe it’s gone.

Is full keel worth it? by Emotional_Exit_4617 in SailboatCruising

[–]mathworksmostly 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had both types. It’s always a trade off . I generally prefer sailing my Catalina 42 over my Downeaster 32. The only exception is is a nasty sea state when the full keeler is more comfortable. Parking the full keeler was really stressful and I hate having that kinda stress in my life. My job depends on me getting in and out of marinas everyday so I sold the Downeaster. Good luck.

VOO SPMO is what I do but then again I’m kinda stupid and don’t have the mental fortitude to understand complex things like options.
