  1. So I am in the Facebook Catalina 36 FB group, where owners exchange info, ideas, questions, pics, etc.  This one guy from Texas joined recently and has been spewing questions.  His latest was asking who has gone from a Max-prop (folding prop) to a fixed blade prop?  My first question was why in the world you would go that way?  I have a fixed blade, but only because I don't want to spend the money on a folding prop.  But people swear you get .5-1 kt quicker under sail.  Anyway, he says he can't get anywhere near 5kts on smooth water.  What?  Then he posts a picture.  I think I see your problem.  Says he hasn't had his bottom cleaned in over a year.  It needs to be done at a minimum every other month, more frequently if your bottom paint has some time on it.  So I clicked his profile.  11182022_10205149306230604_1191987810651Texas A&M Class of 1989 · College Station, Texas

  2. Anyone have a good line on quality boardshorts at a reasonable price?  One issue I have is I have a long torso and short legs, proportionately.  20" boardshorts make me look like I'm wearing knickers.  Not looking for John Stockton style shorts, but maybe not quite as long as is the standard.  And I hate elastic waistbands.

  3. Rangers come to Chavez Ravine tomorrow.  Prodigal son Adrian Beltre returns to where he started.  He was a casualty of Frank McCourt's penny-pinching ways.  Sure fire HOF'er.  He'll get a rousing cheer I'm guessing.

  4. So I told the fam "let's go to the boat" knowing full well they would say no. So I said I needed to do some prep for a trip I'm doing in 2 weeks to Catalina with some buddies. Taking my boat and my buddy's sick ass Cabo 48.

    I have the boat ready now, but to heck with them. Love being 45 mins closer.
