Default CSYs on the ICW was CDI Furlers

You can also find individual
examples of people who chain smoked non-filter Camels for 70 years and didn't
get lung cancer.


My father's theory on cancer (he did cancer research) was that
whatever the weakest system a particular person was - that's where you
would get cancer if you were going to get cancer.

We have a CDI furler which we installed ourselves for the staysail.
We got it and let it relax in the driveway in the sun for a couple of
days (in the summer) and then rolled it up the other way and took it
down to the boat and laid it out on deck for a couple of days, and
then put in on but without the sail. It does still have a slight bend
in it, but you have to look closely to see it. It was not hard to
install, except that Bob let go of the end and it snapped back and hit
him in the lip.


Rosalie,

Here's a website I think you might enjoy:

http://www.sailcontessa.com

It's a cruising couple with a CSY 44 WT who have just retired this year, and are
currently cruising south from Connecticut for the winter.

enjoy!


Thank you for reminding me - I hadn't been to their web page in
awhile.

They were in Tidewater the day after we were there (and probably in
the same slip). We met them in the Alligator River Marina and I would
not be surprised (although it is difficult to see for sure) if we
aren't the boat ahead of them at the 168 (Fairfield) fixed bridge
picture in the Alligator Pungo canal. They passed us about then.

They stayed in Belhaven longer than we did, but caught up to us again
in Oriental, and again in Myrtle Beach, but haven't seen them since.

We left Dock Holiday's the day before they did and were in Charleston
by Nov 14th. We stayed there a week visiting our son, and then went
outside to the St. Mary's River. We got to Jacksonville by November
24th and they didn't get there until Dec 5th. We were in Daytona
right after Thanksgiving (Nov 28-29) and they didn't get there until
Dec 11th. We went outside from Ft. Pierce to Miami on Dec 4-5. By
December 15th we were all the way down to Marathon after we spent a
week in Miami visiting #2 daughter, and we've been here since.
