Re: Stus-List rear scupper clogged - now Gulf Coast weather
High 50's today, near 70 tomorrow. Some clouds. Brought Touche' back from Pensacola last week. A bit chilly for me. High 40's at sun up, mid to high 60's during the day. Worst day was Wednesday. Left The Wharf Marina on the ICW at Orange Beach, Alabama an hour before sunrise in 48F weather. Sun came up as we motored across Bon Secour Bay off east Mobile Bay. Had enough wind to roll out genoa to gain half knot or so. It was a 12 hour passage to Gulfport. Mississippi Got into Mandeville Thursday a bit before sundown. Started raining on us as we were leaving the marina in my truck. Timing is everything. One funny thing happened on the trip. On Wednesday, we passed a tow in the Pas au Herons Channel behind Dauphin Island, Alabama, The Margaret was pushing 4 loads wide and 2 strung out for a total of 8 barges. Margaret was only managing 2.7 knots according to AIS. On Thursday, after spending the night in Gulfport, we again passed the Margaret at the east end of Lake Borgne. I was s tempted to hail them with It's me again, Margaret (remember the Ray Stevens song?). Dennis C.

Stus-List wishing you the best of Solstice
To all Listers Lurkers, Melody I wish you the best of today, tonight and all through the winter. Many will know it is the Winter Solstice, occurring in North America between ~ 3 - 6 PM local time. A time of the longest night and to make this year special we also have a New Moon so expect it to be the darkest night as well. We will celebrate with our usual fire in the backyard firepit... and maybe some hot rums. :) Wish you could be here, Russ Sweet 35 mk-1 Nanaimo ___ This List is provided by the CC Photo Album Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com

Should have hailed! It could have been my son, Chris, Jr. He's been making the run to Pensacola and Mobile lately. He grew up sailing on my 35, but prefers his Laser 28 now.

Stus-List Solstice New Moon Weather and Yule
On the longest darkest night of the year, and with the prospect of inclement weather, now would be a good time to bring back the feast of Yule! Time to spark up those Yule logs! For those of us that can. I know that if I had a fire place I would. Anyway, happy Yule, fellow Listers!

This just out: 3:42 PM AST Sunday 21 December 2014 Special weather statement in effect for: Sydney Metro and Cape Breton County Rain and wind expected for Christmas. An intense weather system will track toward the Maritimes later this week. Rain will develop through the day Wednesday and become heavy at times on Christmas Day. Strong southerly winds and warm temperatures will also accompany this system. Current indications suggest that rainfall amounts and wind strength could approach or exceed warning criteria. AdditionallyTides will be running high this week so coastal water levels and waves could be a concern. Environment Canada will continue to monitor the development of this system providing updates as new information becomes available. Those planning travel or other weather-sensitive activities for later in the week are advised to monitor future forecasts for more further information. Please monitor the latest forecasts and warnings from Environment Canada at www.weatheroffice.gc.ca. The days start getting longer now, leading back to summer. I like that. Happy Solstice everyone!

Stus-List Glasses
I¹m 81 in February and my eyes are still quite good, never had laser surgery. I have bifocals for general use and cheap magnifiers for working on the Mac. The only thing I can think of that may have preserved my vision is that I¹ve been religious about wearing sunglasses while sailing, fishing, driving or even going for a walk on the beach or when it¹s snowy up here. I only mention this to encourage listers to have those Polaroids handy. Wishing you all the best of the season.
