University of Wisconsin sailor Megan Six was named sailor of the week by US Sailing.
Six was honored for giving up her boat to Michigan State sailor Lauren Knoles after Knoles’ mast broke during last weekend’s Midwest regional qualifier for the collegiate single-handed national championships next month.
At 8 a.m. this morning, Dennis Matthews, director of marine operations at Longboat Key Moorings Marina, read the story of Molly McKinney, a 17-year-old competitive sailor whose boat was stolen Oct. 6 from Sarasota Sailing Squadron. The Pine View School senior had returned from a trip to Stanford University, in Palo Alto, Calif., to find her boat stolen.

I lit up my strobe and tri-light, and went to sleep, waiting for wind. An hour later the British ensign started flapping, a perfect easterly breeze arrived, and Constellation took off towards Niuatoputapu.
В сентябре 2004 года вся область была всполошена событием, произошедшим в селе Ивановка, что под Оренбургом: силовики накрыли в обыкновенном слишком приватном жилище целый склад орудия, боеприпасов и взрывчатки.

Но исключительно на данный момент журналисту “ОН” чертовски получилось проверить, что данный захват – только звено в расследовании самых по-старому оглушительных уголовных дел минувшего и этого года.
The Corinthian Division at the Sheehy Lexus of Annapolis 2009 Melges 24 World Championship, in which competitors are required to hold ISAF amateur status, accounts for twenty five percent of the overall fleet and judging by the profile of the sailors, looks highly likely to match the main fleet for closeness of competition. This year as well as receiving the Corinthian Trophy, the overall winner of the Corinthian Division will also collect a Tacktick Maxi system worth over $сто0, courtesy of Tactick, sponsors of the Melges 24 Class media output from the championship.
The Hudson River may no longer be the major economic and transportation artery it once was, but it is a big river — beautiful in parts — that is home to commercial boats like ferries and barges as well as pleasure craft like sailboats and jet skis.

Clearly we have neglected the blog. Almost surprised it is still on the интернет. We have a lot to catch you up on, so we will have to figure out how to do so without just doing on big core dump.
