Our 35s5 in St. Petersburg after haulout. Bottom was perfect and I mean
not a mark anywhere. Glass is shiny with very little oxidation. In the
surveyor's own words...she looks like she's a few years old! Shortly
after this we had a good time sailing her back. The position of the
wheel, which I had originally judged to be a problem...wasn't. For
those of you who are not at the end of their sailing lives, I urge you
to find a boat with a steering system like the 35s5 or better.

A tiller confuses me.

Hurry, Loco...see if you can find that one which shows EXIF data as
being taken yesterday with a Sony U30 2MP minicam. Let me know if you
need the original file e-mailed to you.

Busted again, Loco!
