(How did you first get into sailing? How did you make the jump to cursing? What was the scariest situation you have been in? What is a typical day in your cruising life? What sailing skill of yours have improved the most? What do you miss the most about living on land when you are on your boat? What are the 5 most important books you have with you? What is your favorite meal to cook on your boat? How do you provision your boat? How long do you usually stay in one area? What features do you love the most about your boat?)

Of all the iterations of the venerable CCC's I've consumed throughout the eons,
the recipe below has to be one of the best.
Those who attended Winter Sailing Seminar #4,
know of what I speak.

Ingredients:

1 cup (2 sticks) Butter, Softened

1/4 Cup White Sugar

1 small package of Instant Vanilla Pudding Mix

2 Eggs

1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

2 1/4 Cups All Purpose Flour

1 teaspoon Baking Soda

1 package (12 ounces) Milk Chocolate Chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Beat the butter, both sugars, pudding mix, eggs, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.

Beat until creamy and fluffy.

Slowly mix in the flour and baking soda.

Hand stir in the chocolate chips.

Drop by tablespoonfuls, onto a an un-greased cookie sheet.

Bake for ONLY 9-10 minutes.

Remove from oven and let cool about 10 minutes before eating.
Thanks to Susan Judd for this most outstanding contribution to our seminars.



Catamaran Cruise to Catalina Island.

Want to learn "big cat" systems?
Build your confidence for your next BVI charter.
(Picking up a mooring ball, anchoring, chart plotter use, radar, paper charts, head systems,
twin diesel engines, MOB recovery, electric winches, reefing, galley systems, AIS, VHF to harbor master communications, Catalina mooring procedures, dinghy operation.)
And do it all on board a new Fountaine Pajot Helia 44?

Combating Mold and Mildew.
Some thoughts on humidity on your boat.
Life is Like Sailing You Tube.


One of the top 5 cool things I discovered at the Seattle Boat show,
HyperVent, venting mattress pad.
Reduces mold between mattress and gel coat surfaces.


Personal experience has proven that "Driveway Heat" (accept no substitutes),
poured into a small plastic colander (suspended in an ice cream bucket)
will suck out all kinds of moisture from your over-wintering boats interior.

How about high quality ( $expensive$ ) air filters for removing mold spores?

Make a few small solar air circulators to help keep mildew and mold down.

Some mold / health factoids.




Turn your West Wight Potter into a screamin' machine.
with 3Di technology.



It ain't over, til it's over.
Vendee Globe boats still out on the water.




Utah Lake continues to inch up.
Looks like the lake-o-meter had an issue around January 17. High tide?


This just in from Gene Shawcroft, CUWCD.
The green line is our water year.....so far :)

Hobble Creek runoff feeds into Utah Lake.
Lake levels should be interesting this year.
