Motor?

You have a MOTOR?

Huh! Maybe I out to get one of those!?!
Picky, picky. All right - ENGINE :-)

It's ok, Bruce.
Not being picky - just jelousy.
I have an outboard.

I sail faster, but power?

Well, we do sail faster!


This is the new boat your were talking about a couple of years ago?

No, that one fell through.

Dorothy's uncle passed away and she was supposed to inherit his
Hunter. But the kids threw a fuss (none of them wanted the boat -
just the money) and it didn't happen.

This one, "Temptress", is a much smaller Catalina Capri 26 that I
bought last year.

We are hoping to move her down to the coast (that's Galveston Bay
area) in the spring and wander down the coast a ways - maybe get sea sick
and puke a lot - and hopefully have fun anyway.

Thus the confusion. I remembered the "hope we get it" messages and
then there was the "New boat" sort of stuff and somehow I mentally
tied them together and envisioned you floating about in a larger boat.
Nice looking little boat though.

Frankly I would assume that with the rather restricted deck forward
you would be enthusiastically installing a furler.

By the way, where do you stow the dinghy when cruising? If on the
foredeck it adds even more reason to have a furler :-)
