Well, Christmas 2009 has passed by, and hopefully we are all feeling back to normal from whatever your New Year Eve's celebration entailed, and finally it's time to realize all the Holiday Treats has probably moved you up a boat size....or two!
So now is the time when we all start thinking about sailing again...the warm sunny days, the breeze blowing through our hair, and the sweet smell of sun lotion being applied lavishly. But then harsh reality sets in as you hear the weather forecast 5 bellow zero and a chance of 6-9" of snow tonight....damn them...do they always have to penetrate my day dreams? But, all is not lost! Now is the time to renew your HCA dues, google video training on the Racing Rules of Sailing, read a book on sailing, or visit the America's Cup website and see all the commotion going on with that great race! There are many resources for Hobie Sailors to brush up on sailing over the winter. The HCA-NA.ORG website has some great resources on sailing, like tips and tuning, rules explanations, Hobie University, and it's also nice to review the 2009 Final Standings and see who was the top competitors in each class.
So, while it is very nice to gaze out the window and daydream of that Hobie skimming across the lake while one hull just barely splashes on and off the water, when the nasty forecast brings you back to reality...just dive into these noted resources and you will be right back to daydreaming and making the day that much better!
Enjoy!
