Bummer. But you still have a chance to practice some sailing
tactics, if not actually sailing. Does the Suburu exceed
hull speed when surfing? If you shift weight forward or aft,
does it pitch differently over the dunes?


... When I
check Lady Kate she tries to bite me. THe first decent cruise in two
years, shortly, is going to be homicidal punishment on the part of the
boat. And not having sailing adventures at present is one reason I'm not
contributing them to this group.


OK, looking forward to it then! I have to sadly report that
there is one less Bolger Box in the world today, our
one-sheet Shoebox-inspired dinghy completed it's
transformation to mulch. One of today's chores is to take
the remaining small pile of fiberglass tape & spray foam to
the "recycle facility."

When I get a little breather from other projects, I am
thinking of building a new version of this boat in foam
core, it was a very servicable and practical boat, just a
bit on the heavy side.


..... Though I will photograph some donuts
for CRobby one day, haven't forgotten...


Now that's mean. Funny, but mean.
