JAx has a clapped-out old 26' sailbote best suited for nice Sunday
afternoons on Long Island Sound.

==================================

I think I've seen that boat.

It looked like there were a couple of plastic inflatable dolls in the
cockpit with a half crazed skipper.

Next thing you know Jax will tell us that Long Island Sound *IS* blue
water sailing.


Well, it was for me...when I was 10, 11, and 12 years old, sailing Blue
Jays out of Milford Harbor.

================================

My kids sailed a Blue Jay out of Stamford and were club champions for
several years. We bought the boat as a junker, took it apart, rebuilt
it in the backyard as an educational project and repainted it. It
looked great and even the kids said it was fast.
