| I smell jealousy, Neal. What's "too large" when she can be easily
| singlehanded by a woman? Oh, I forgot, you don't have the sailing or
| boathandling skills of the average woman.

| Nice-looking boat but too large to be practical.

| I know it's been covered, but I don't remember what the best way
was
| to
| get
| old names off transoms. I have paint as well as vinyl stickies to
| deal
| with. Was it oven cleaner that was suggested? The new
documentation
| papers
| say I need to get the name and hailing port changed "before
operating
| the
| boat" which will be in a couple of weeks when I bring her up from
| Ensenada
| across the border into the US.
|
| By the way, in case you were wondering. It's OK getting paid to
sail
| that
| 50' catamaran up and down the coast all day, but I don't think I'd
| want
| to
| do it more than this one season. There's the distraction from all
the
| beautiful, scantily clad women (I have the best one waiting for me
at
| home),
| the irritation from the darn dolphins and sea lions always getting
in
| my
| way, and the people insulting me by offering $100 tips for two
hour
| trips,
| among other things, that really kind of spoil it. But when I can
sail
| that
| great heavy barge 5 knots for hours, dead down wind, wing and
wing,
| without
| the need for a whisker pole or preventer (main traveled clear
over,
| and
| the
| natural spread of the genoa sheeting point doing the trick)
listening
| to
| some good reggae and soaking up the beauty of the Santa Barbara
| coastline,
| well, it's almost worth it.
| I really do miss the long hours cooped up in a tiny office staring
at
| a
| computer screen and having you all as the only entertainment
available
| in
| the midst of stress-filled days, honest!
| Thanks in advance for any ideas about getting the old name off my
| "new"
| boat.
| Life's a beach, then you go sailing,
