In summation, I had a good time, in good company, in a markedly sea
kindly and seaworthy boat that needs some work and some goddam winch
handle holders.

Thanks for the kind words, Marc. As I pointed out, some of the problems were
"recent" such as the temp. mainsheet line and vang. As for leaving the dock,
the "fender" was our pivot point...but you knew that!
I have no excuse for the lack of winch handle holders, but I thought you
approved of my oversized sheets for ease of handling?
In any case, that was the heaviest air I've sailed the C&C is and was pleased
by how she did. Julia had the best nap ever.
Suzanne and I hope to pay you a visit next week!
