![]() Congrats. I'm outa here in another few days. Drop me a line at my shipboard addy when you have time. PDW In article , wrote: Hey, everyone. You have all sure been busy posting away here while I was incommunicado. We finally got phone service established here on our boat, so I'm back to normal emailing. Oh, yeah...I forgot to mention...we are now living aboard Chanteuse, escaping the cold winter up in MI (they've already had 6 inches of snow and expect 6" nore tonight...too bad, so sad). Right now we're in the Pamlico Sound area (some of you know where exactly...). We're just taking life esasy for right now and staying away from going out into the Atlantic....the weather off Cape Hatteras to Cape Fear is frightening....45-50 knots with 20 foot waves. Not what I want my first encounter with the Atlantic to be! We've met a bunch of lovely people, including one Doug and Kathy King, who are great folks, interesting to talk to, and enjoyable to be with. Have also met some friends of Michael Ortin's (Schoonertrash) who sail in this area who are very pleasant people too. Chopper likes living aboard except that we're always having to ask him to move since the aft cabin has become the closet/storage area. He was a bit put out at first that we had usurped "his" room for such mundane stuff as the printer, clothes, and accesoroes. We are now official liveabords since we installed the requisite blue tarp over our boom when we had a downpour yesterday...sure makes a difference not having the rain come pouring down the hatch. We're also shopping for a new mainsail before taking off to do any serious cruising. Haven't decided whether we're going to go north or south yet. Plenty of time to decide that later. For right now, we like it here and there's lots to explore and lots of places to sail to in the vicinity. I brought my fishing gear with me and on a warmer day will go out to the beach to surf fish. I caught a 1.5# crappe off the dock the other day and cooked it up for dinner. So, that's where I've been and am....good to be back. katy |

If it will make you feel any better, we're in the midst of a lake-effect snow here, with a clipper system due in tomorrow. Nightly temps are supposed to be low teens or single digits. Enjoy NC. Max |

Welcomer back Katy. You didn't miss ANYTHING.
