Happy New Year!

This wraps 2008 sailing year for me. Oh well. For the first time I have kept track of days on the water. The results are mixed.

1 star days -- 7 days. I wish I stayed home. Days that were not worth it.
2 star days -- 9 days. Not so good, but ok. The wind was gusty or it was cold, the tide was not right, you name it.
3 star days -- 32 days. Just ok, not great. The wind was fine but no ramps, or something prevented me from having all the fun I could normally have on a day like that.
4 star days -- 15 days. Almost great. Everything aligned extremely well. Sunny Windy Nice Ramps.
5 star days -- 0. Out of this world great sailing.

Total of 63 days. First of all I didn't sail as much as I usually do. Especially during the summer, I recall not sailing for more than 2 weeks in a row for a couple of times. This have not happened to me in a few years.. Overall I'm a bit disappointed since I was expecting to get close to 100. But then again I would never go sailing just for the sake of getting to 100. I have also missed lots of days (20 or so) that were really good due to work or school. Well lets hope for more sailing this year..

By the way. Count for this year is 2 and after getting extremely cold yesterday I have decided not to go sailing unless it is 45 degrees or warmer... Check out the snorkeling pics from my vacation in Miami
