I just found your channel and I am beyond pumped as a fellow bike and small boat builder and enthusiast. I cant wait to watch through all your video s

[@fossilfool]

Thanks for the feedback! More coming. Gonna try to get under the GG Bridge tomorrow in light winds.

[@garygrissom1031]

Sucks you missed your appointment bro but looks like a killer day for a killer ride and the killer rap bro keep getting that trash bro you rock

[@fossilfool]

Every time I've tried to get somewhere by sailboat by a certain time I've missed it. Dentist can wait!

[@jeffreyblumenthal3057]

that is a sweet BURST of VERSE

[@fossilfool]

Thx Jeff! Glad you liked it :)

On days with little wind, I sometimes cut fishing line out of tree branches (I always carry scissors and a knife). When the osprey nests are vacated, and if I ever see any fishing line in them, I can sometimes reach it by standing on my boat (or a flying scot) that I've paddled up to, and remove fishing line that is wove into the nest. It adds a new purpose to what might be a less than perfect sailing day.

[@fossilfool]

Sounds purposeful indeed. Thx for your comment.

My Aero is due to arrive at the end of the month. Can't wait to get out there and join you.

[@fossilfool]

Great! Are you interested in doing a bike towing rig for your Aero?

[@fossilfool]

Thank you

[@dalek5438]

Good for you! It's a shame people are soooo nasty.

[@fossilfool]

I hope that's not what you got from my vid. I don't think anyone littered these sheets. I think they blew in from a nearby dumpster. People need to be aware that this can happen. But once they know I believe most people care enough to try harder to prevent this. Plus SF Bay has gotten a lot cleaner in recent decades. I now see seals every time I sail, and sometimes porpoises and even whales. I have to believe that people helped make that happen, and even if they were people in the environmental movement that feels good.

@@fossilfool I got a lot from it, but you did call it "trash pickin" (and people are nasty - you gave sites of those helping with the problem). You have a cool boat and you obviously enjoy it. Love the biking aspect and the hull material you used. Ross Lillistone's boats were on my short list of possible builds, particularly his Phoenix III and First Mate. I decided on Clint Chase's Calendar Islands Yawl 16 (www.chase-small-craft.com/calendar-islands-yawl-16)which I have just begun. Logging it on WBF (forum.woodenboat.com/showthread.php?276173-Calendar-Islands-Yawl-16-in-Chattanooga&highlight=chattanooga) and my blog: captnkid.blogspot.com/. I just sold my previous build to a girl who just moved here (Chattanooga, TN) from San Francisco who loves sailing. Fair winds to us all! Dale

@@dalek5438 Good luck with the build of your 16' Yawl. Any interest in bike towing? Nice lightweight hull for it!
