There is a large bay near here in which we can sail for
the afternoon. As mentioned below, I recently placed an order for one
of the Mac 26M's. When it's delivered, I'll be able to motor down to
Galveston and to the offshore blue water in about two hours.


This reminds me of my plans to travel to France in 3 & 1/2 hours in my
Bayliner. Very soon after I took delivery of the boat, I realised that I
would never take her to France. However, I still had 10 *very* good years
of sailing (ok - motoring) in her.



Or, I can
tow the boat down to various points on the coast and launch it there. -


Sounds like hard work....... OK if you are under 25 years old.



I'll try several sailing areas and see how they compare and report back
to the group.


I look forward to your reports.

When are you due to take delivery?

By May 10-15 I should be able to take her out under varying conditions,
and I'll post sone further reports.

Jim

Katy, what are 30-40not conditions? I don't think I've ever seen any of
those "not" conditions. - But I'll keep an eye out for them.

Jim

Sailors describe wind speed in 'knots', Mac 26M drivers use 'MPH'.

They also know how to spell knots, not?

And that's another reason why you don't belong here...everyone else knew

Actually, I knew what you meant too, Katy. It was just too tempting.

Jim fibbed: Actually, I knew what you meant too, Katy. It was just too
tempting.

Nah...you didn't know....

It was just too tempting to act like an asshole.
