Re: wind away or wind foiler

don't tell cuda, but I have a bimini too.

If the look and profile of a race fairing was available to me, I'd do no protection at all. Done it before.

but as long as I'm stuck with a glass w/s, I might as well make use of it...which requires these to be truly functional as I'm 6'5".

Not a concern for you eh Nort?

Re: wind away or wind foiler

RIp,

I thought you heisted those things from the salad bar at Wendy's. They're just upside down sneeze guards, right? Have you splashed yet? We're hoping to get out Sun. or Mon.
Had Fast Forward fix my deck, looks excellent

They look like it when they're splattered with bugs and my face isn't!

No splash, probably the week of the 6th. Got some things to wrap up.

No worries though...just finalized arrangements for 8 weeks of vacation 'tween the 6th of june and Labor Day. Plenty of time to go into fuel shock.

good to hear about your deck.
