mentioned catching a ride with your friend that owned a sailboat.
Didn't he put that up for sale? What are your boating plans for 2007?-
(After the water thaws out, of course).


Thanks for asking.
Although our skipper was interested in purchasing another sailboat (last one
I knew about was a Bristol 32) I told him I couldn't be counted on as a
regular crew.
I have invested a few bucks in a new galvanized combo (bunk & roller
trailer) and leased a new Ford Ranger to pull my boat.
This year, I plan to do a lot of sailing along our coast, on the Bras d'Or
Lakes and maybe a long tow up to Ontario to attend the 2007 Sandpiper 565
Rendezvous. My recent concern is deciding what depth sounder to install.
I'm leaning toward the 'in hull' type rather than the 'tru hull' model.
