House Chores

I was vacuuming one of the side bedrooms in our house and came across two small pieces of paper on the floor. In picking them up, I discovered they weren't scrap paper but thumbnail prints (most likely cut out from a contact sheet) of the blogmeister sailing his Laser out of SSA (Annapolis) back in the 1970's. They must have fallen from some book I had re-shelved. I don't know who took the photos. (Warning! Blogmeister with hair and beard)

It looks like it was a gusty northwester as I was sailing upwind towards the U.S. Naval Academy.


Nobody had invented flat leg hiking yet!



From the Earwigoagin archives; a few of the Laser posts featuring the blogmeister.

    Maybe the day you dislocated your shoulder?

    Don't think so. If I remember the wind that day was a strong southerly. These photos were taken in a medium, shifty northwesterly. Plus I remember the day I dislocated my shoulder as being a day without a lot of boat traffic (though maybe we were still racing after the AYC frostbiters had gone home). It was about the same time frame though.

    it ended up as a VERY strong NW. I remember thinking (as I clung to the daggerboard of the turtled Laser) that I might get blown out across the Bay.
