I was out on the Sound two weeks ago. I was the
first in the club to go sailing. I made it half
way to middle ground (Stratford Shoal). That's a
cool lighthouse in the center of Long Island Sound.

So far only three of four members have their boats
in the water, and I haven't seen any of them with
their sails up.

Total, I've been out sailing three times so far on
the Etchells, the last two times I sailed solo but
cheated and used the mains'l alone. I still have
some tunning to do.

My goal is to get the big boat in the water by the
end of May, and then to move on it until I finish
off the interior. I've ripped out half the galley
and aft head, and need to finish putting that back
together.

Are you coming up to Long Island Sound this year?

We're hoping to get to Maine this Summer. Also, it's likely we'll go to the
Vineyard and maybe Nantucket. Further South than Newport or Cutyhunk is
unlikely. When are you getting out out of the Sound?.
