Poor Shredbob.
I never understand why I am unmotivated on some days and overmotivated others.

That's alot of driving at $4 gallon.

For what it's worth, Horseneck always seems light inside, as are most good wave spots......but a breadkdown at HN is a pretty safe deal. You can get thrashed around, but you will eventually end up back on land, and Yeah, talking to PK, sounds like it was pretty sweet. And every time I've been there, you eventually see another sail

"Schlogging is not a crime"

I went out at Chapin with the Squirt, and it was planable light, but just enough to get my head right

I and some others often sail HN alone, sometimes tough to get out to sail on a March Tuesday afternoon or a November Thurs AM...
As OC said, it is pretty safe 'cept for the causeway which I've met a few times. Just watch yourself on a December sideoff day, you'll end up at Cuttyhunk Island if you're lucky.
Starting to see more seals there, kind of disconcerting, esp. when alone

Yeah, $42 gas bill.

The only thing worse than driving and not sailing is when you find out you shoulda stayed!

OC you're right about not getting too down on the slogging. I was guilty of the wind half empty thinking--definitely would've had better judgement if there had been another sailor there...fatter wallet too.

I can attest that the best wave riding is really on days when you have the schlog out

Side off and enough wind to get out
Usually means cleaner waves
More comfortable power when riding

Also builds mad skills for the days when it is full on

not that much lighter ron, i;m usually on a 6.3 when pk is on a 5.3, he is very efficient,and as reported, not worried about slogging out to be on the right size on the wave ride back in..
