Absolutely correct. A slow heavy motorboat with small auxilary sails that never

Run along coward.

Seems to me that CWM made a brave and honest observation, Joe. You
once claimed you were refitting your boat for major voyaging. If that
had been true and you had ANY recources you'd be gone by now.

Why's that?

I think
you'll be posting here all summer and winter again and not go
anywhere.

Think what you want.

As for me, I'm using my boat as we intended making weekend trips and
daysails with our son.
So tell up again about your plans. How's the refit going and when will
you finally realize that a boat that doesn't sail at all may be the
wrong boat. You've made a houseboat of the poor thing. But I'd be
happy to see you sail off and stop your posting here. Then we'd all
know that Joe was on his major cruise as planned!

If I have 5 hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend four hours sharpening
the ax.

Why does it bother you so much Rob, that I live aboard, race in
regettas, make offshore trips, and enjoy my career so much that I'm in
no rush to leave anywhere?

I have my own Island, with the best views on the lake, a lovely wife,
and no urgent need to take off. I can sail anytime, year round. You
think I'm missing something here?

As far as boat projects, I'm installing armored glass opening bronze
portholes and removing the Europe style windows fore and aft. Looks
great and greatly improves air circulation below, also provide an
escape thru the aft cabin besides through the wheelhouse.

I'll post some pictures for you when I'm finished. I love tinkering
on boats, glad I do not have a long commute to my boat.

Have you started removing all the spiderwebs from Suzy's boat after
the long, long, cold winter storage yet?
