Dang! They were also following a big Swan out there. It was the only
boat out faster than us. I guess those Swans are wasting energy too!!!

Of course they do. If you knew anything about boats you'd understand.
Why do you think my boat is faster than yours in a breeze, at all
points of sail? Why do you think my boat can do 17 knots with less
sail area than yours? It isn't by making bow waves!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! LOL!!!!
Let us know when you get a real sailboat!

Too ignorant to answer a simple question?

Jeff might have one of those inherently dangerous catamarans that are more
stable upside down than rightside up but at least Jeff has been known to sail
his vessel hundreds of miles (and perhaps up to a thousand miles) from his home
port. This makes him at least twice as brave and many times more of a sailor
than you will ever be even in your wildest dreams.

You're too chicken to schlep your fat arse out of LICS (Long Island Cesspool
Sound). Therefore, when you criticize Jeff and his vessel you sound very
foolish. But, then again, you are a professed liberal and being a fool is the
very essence of liberalism so you get a Brownie point or two for consistency. . .

Thank you for the kind words, Neal. As for flipping, you know, of
course, that there have been very, very few occurrences of that in
cruising cats. And interesting aspect is that it has never happened
under bare poles. The stability of a cat can give a false sense of
security, leading some people to stay over canvassed. For my boat,
which is a tad under rigged, the capsize point with full sail is 45
knots of wind.

And yes, we've been more than 1000 miles from home, from Boston south
to Key West, and north to Toronto and Bar Harbor. We've used the
boat less the last few years, but still got out for 6 weeks this year.
I figure we've slept on board for about 600 nights away from home.
And we don't seem to need A/C!

A friend returned from wintering in Newfoundland (!) and got me
thinking: If we sailed around Nova Scotia one summer we could leave
the boat around Cape Brenton or maybe in Sydney for the winter. The
next year we could hop over to Newfoundland for a summer, and them
return to Sydney. The third summer perhaps go up the St. Lawrence and
through Lake Champlain to return. How's that sound for a plan?

Here's some of my friend's pics of Newfoundland:

Give me a head's up as to when you plan on passing by Jeff..... It would be
great to meet up with you. Sydney wouldn't be my first pick of haul-outs....
try the Bras'Or Lakes.

BTW - it's Cape Breton Island... and seriously take in the Highlands
National Park and Cabot Trail.

Is it better to put in or pull out in Dildo?

Dildo is in Newfoundland .... I don't know much about that province. Only
been there twice.

If he is going around to Sydney, he should stop off at Louisbourg. I
love that town.

I had a chance to work there supervising repairs to some buildings. I'm too
busy right now on post construction reports.

Great Spot.

Its still in the "how's this for a plan?" stage. I'm not sure our 10
year old is ready for a 3 summers in the boonies commitment quite yet.
Of course, she's about ready for sleep-away camp. And with the
money we'll save on marina fees we'll be able to afford camp!

One gotcha is the possibility of getting hit with import duties on the
boat if we have it in Canada for 3 years. I'm hoping the fact that it
was built in Whitby will make it exempt. Otherwise we may have to
have "necessary repairs" performed over the two winters.

But one way or t'other, we're hoping to get to Nova Scotia in the next
few years - its the one place we've dreamed about that we haven't seen.
