No. He motors. Jim has got a fabulous 26M, which is not only a fantastic
sailing vessel, it is also planes along well enough to water ski behind.

You can sail at 15 knots? Did buy a 50'er? A cat?

And now, the end is near;
And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, Ill say it clear,
Ill state my case, of which Im certain.

Ive lived a life thats full.
Ive traveled each and evry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Regrets, Ive had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, Im sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried.
Ive had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.

To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it my way.

For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
Just like the words of Captain Neal.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!

Hi Scotty. No, I didn't say I can sail at 15 knots. What I said was
that I can motor out to where I want to sail and motor back at 15 knots.
In our particular area, in which getting out and back from the sailing
areas takes a signficant amount of time because or the traffic, etc.,
that gives me more time for SAILing. Also, this time of year we
sometimes have some pretty severe squalls that build up suddently in the
afternoon, and I usually prefer to come back to the marina rather than
go through them. - The ability to return to the marina at 15 knots in
such circumstances is an obvious safety factor. - Not saying that the
Mac 26M is the best choice for extended blue water crossings, but for
me, under these circumstances, its a good choice.

Scotty, as a suggestion, maybe you ought to read the GD notes before you
start pontificating about them.

Hi Jim. You wrote, ''And those of us who can SAIL as well

Do you have any pics of your boat, sailing?

What are ''GD notes'' ?

I'd really like to see some pictures of Jim's boat under sail and under
engine.

I know, but Jim knows I'm kidding. I don't need to see his boat underwater.

Scotty, you need to read the original note more carefully. What I said
was: "...those of us who can SAIL as well as motor at 15 knots to and
from a preferred sailing area, or to get around a squall, can enjoy our
SAILboats even more."

But how about getting off this crap and instead responding to the fact
that my boat does cruise under power at 15 knots, and that this enables
me to get where I need to go at higher speeds when needed.

Why JG? I didn't think you had much interest in the Macs.
