Hey shipmate, Sorry we couldn't reconnect, but I'll keep the offer open. Wishing you a great trip.

Another interesting way to ship awkward stuff like that is via Greyhound!

Hi Chuck, Yes, we saw a bunch of kiteboarders and windsurfers on the sound side of Hatteras near Avon. We were there during a gale warning - the ferries even shut down. Regarding the boom, I looked on Selden’s website for dealers in the US and contacted a half-dozen of them. I learned that shipping a new boom to Colorado was going to cost me $1K (yes, seriously). Meanwhile I already had a three-week trip planned with my travel trailer to the Florida panhandle (St. George Island State Park, fantastic place), St. Augustine where a race week was happening coincidentally, Charleston, the Outer Banks, and home via Nashville and Lake of the Ozarks. Omar Sails in New Bern, NC is a Selden dealer and was one of the half-dozen I contacted. Craig Beavers there was by far the most responsive and helpful of all the dealers I contacted. He told me there is a Selden manufacturing site in Charleston, and confirmed I could pick up the boom there myself and transport it home in my travel trailer (which has 24’ finished space). So I ordered the boom from Craig, and stopped at Selden about a week ago and met the guys who built it, and we stuffed it into my trailer. It was an obvious and easy way to save $1K in shipping. Annapolis was not on the itinerary for this trip, but thanks for the offer! Cheers, Randy > On Apr 4, 2023, at 9:53 PM, CHARLES SCHEAFFER wrote: > > Hey Randy, > Agree, Ocracoke is very charming.

I’m a C 37 in Oriental NC It’s a perfect 6-9 hr. day sail to Ocracoke! Love it there! They really got hammered last hurricanes and still creeping back to normal!

Hey Randy, Agree, Ocracoke is very charming. It has a cute little harbor and marina and a wonderfully long beach where I used to drive my Subaru loaded with windsurfers about twenty years ago. My wife and I made a windsurf trip in 2020 to Hatteras and sailed the sound side behind Avon for a week. Incredible seafood restaurants. "Apple Uglys" from the bakery in Buxton are a must. Curious how you discovered a sailmaker in NC? I imagine you are driving around with that boom, sightseeing your way back to Colorado? Let me know if you plan to get close to Annapolis. I'd love to get you out on my boat.
