Anybody seen my camera?? I musta left it somewhere or somebody mooched it

 

We got a new waterline this year Click here for photos

 The concept of this site has something to do with our belief that if more people knew about sailing, more people would be able to enjoy the fun.

Of course, we hope it will also become a place to send our customers for information about our services.

We Now Stock and Sell Line

Cash or checks. We don't take credit cards because the law will not let us charge properly to recover the bank fees.

     We do not have a particularly wide selection and, for the most part, only have one spool and one color of any given size and brand.  On the other hand, we usually have something that will do the job and we are a few bucks worth of gasoline closer to AYC than anybody else.

Click to see stock as of January 2009:

We also stock some hardware, fasteners, sandpaper, thinners, paints, brushes, paper suits, gloves, and lots of things that should save hobbyists from making a trip all the way to the store....

and we actually DO know how to use all the stuff

 

 

 

We are making this boat into a masterpiece... The Electra Project

And on January 28, 2008. Waldo begins his political career by delivering the Canine reply.

    "My fellow Pooches. Tonight the State of the Union is furry and cuddly.  We can do better and we must.

     " I believe there must be immediate legislation passed to provide each home with the funding to keep a jar of biscuits not just by the back door but by every door in every house in America...

He continued for 40 minutes. .

See More Photos??: Travis At Sunrise

 

 

This shot was taken in late 1991. Lake Travis is flooded to about 710 feet above mean sea level (MSL). Fred took this shot from Psycho the J-24 #187. This is the spillway on Mansfield dam. Its height is 714 above MSL. The next day the LCRA asserted its power as an unelected quasi government agency and arbitrarily closed the lake to everybody but their bureaucrats and  minions.

We have lots of photos taken around the lake at levels ranging from 634 to 710 above MSL
