Odalisque - July 2003 Logs

Log 2003 – July

7/26/03 - I came out with Jackson and his friend Alex and Alex’s Dad Jeff. Jeff was a newbie – not even a novice. So this was the first pretty much on my own sail. Could not find dipstick but did use the engine. I am leaving the sea cock open and the fuel cock. I don’t like the feel of fuel cock and I think it has a limited number of turns left in it.

Could not find more than 2 red seat cushions!? Also only one cheap life vest. Jack had to use a blue vest. I’ll bring it back next time with more vests.

-fix lace on sail cover.

Good wind good sailing – wind from the south and the west – next time that happens I will head to Bronx as I knew I should have - ???? wing on wing from the south

My first sail I liked it.

— Jackson Schlanger

7/13/03 - John (the launch operator) suggested Jude Thaddeus marina for wintering .

— Caleb Davison

Caleb, Noah, Jess and Matt sailed to the mouth of Hempstead Harbor. Good wind from the north. 6 knots on the final run home – tacks and beam reach both ways.

Caleb’s mood soured at the end. We will forgive him for now.

— Matthew Schlanger

Happy, good sail too short! Need to do more. 6 p.m. 7/13/03.

— Noah Smith (?)

7/12/03 - Jackson meets Odalisque. Lunch tuna fish, chips and Snapple – heavy chop and good wind. Good day to try and bury the rail. Jackson’s tummy would not have it.
