Zeee, reminding me of the time when I was drifting toward the end of the island. Good to hear that you were safely back, Matt. I used to love TI.........One of these days, I might try TI again.

I try not to stay with the same mast for too long. You never know when a mast is going to turn around and turn its back on you. Maybe masts treat you better when you treat them better as well, who knows?

What Gallo was too humble to mention was the sick back loop attempt that apparently broke his balls. I saw it myself, though, and it was nearly landed. Yeah, not quite landed, but it was still so sick.

For more details, Damis towed me from outside the jetty to near the rocks. The Coast Guard did show up, but I was practically on land by that time. The cause of the whole deal was snapping my mast trying a something; I can't remember if it was, as Karl would put it, a shovelet or a spickle, but what else could it be but one of those?

It was one of those TI days, which made it all worth it.

Yeah, TI rocks... Coast Guard was not too responsive today, but maybe it was my too calm demeanor on the phone... but they did get confused and thought I was calling from Oakland instead of TI. Matt has bad luck with masts me thinks... Sorry for spraying you when you were down... well, not really.
