Default MacGregor 26M - Valiant 40

Varying conditions?? In Galveston? Like more mosquitoes than
usual?

There is a large bay near here in which we can sail for
the afternoon. As mentioned below, I recently placed an order for one
of the Mac 26M's. When it's delivered, I'll be able to motor down to
Galveston and to the offshore blue water in about two hours.



This reminds me of my plans to travel to France in 3 & 1/2 hours in my
Bayliner. Very soon after I took delivery of the boat, I realised that

I
would never take her to France. However, I still had 10 *very* good

years
of sailing (ok - motoring) in her.



Or, I can
tow the boat down to various points on the coast and launch it there. -



Sounds like hard work....... OK if you are under 25 years old.



I'll try several sailing areas and see how they compare and report back
to the group.



I look forward to your reports.

When are you due to take delivery?


By May 10-15 I should be able to take her out under varying conditions,
and I'll post sone further reports.

Jim



Regards
