  1. And I just have to say this one more time - I’m still stressed - drinking a beer watching the Texas OU baseball game trying to calm down - fuck that guy. I’m super excited despite that POS. It’s a shame really, a great instructor would have us flying super high, instead I’m trying to unwind while also being excited about learning.  Fuck him.

    Oh yeah, I didn't mean that. I know your instructor sucks donkey balls.

     

    I'm just saying always remember how important it is and take it seriously. It easy to get complacent over the years as you get more experienced.

    Yes sir I can see that. I was thinking about it while we were practicing - I think I might practice it on our own some and I think I may do some safety stuff anytime I have guests on board. Not MOB but at least a hey here’s how this works. And ocean travel no doubt. 

  3. We may be buying a 1977 Catalina 27 tall rig... boom mother fuckers. 

     

    should have pics in hand this evening will figure it out soon. Friend selling / may partner on it. Could be a great learner boat.

    MOB drills are critical. Never be too cool to take that seriously.

    That’s not the dick part. MOB stressed me out bc it’s legit.  We actually did well. Spent 2 hours doing it, coming back to it next time.

  5. 101 test tomorrow, learned man over board drills and reefing, plus did some good ole fashioned sailing today. Instructor is still a dick.  A complete POS dick.  We got into it, motor brackets weren’t working bc the bolt and fastener was loose, my son couldn’t make it hold, I couldn’t and he assumed it was operator error, he jumped my case about not damaging the boat... after 6 hours of his bullshit, irritation with us learning, and struggle with a teenager - but honestly the worst behavior was the grown man - I kinda lost it - I said look dude, I could buy 10 of these right now if I wanted, so if I damage it I’ll fix it, no one here wants to damage the boat, we all want to take care of it, we are just trying to learn and you aren’t helping. He’s a terrible teacher, has zero patience for the learning process, zero patience for kids, I’m honestly starting to wonder if he’s got a thing against LGBTQ folk - two women and kids last time - dunno - but I never think thats the case.

    International money and coastals moving to a lower cost area that's super affordable like Austin.  

    Our buyers are overwhelmingly coastals or downsizing from rollingwood/Westlake wanting to be closer to town ($5m in Westlake downsizing to $2-3m in 78704).  That said, we are expecting an offer next week on a yet to be finished project that I think is family money because she is early 30’s has a great job but is buying a house we can’t even afford.
