Default I really like this boat.

http://www.stormloader.com/users/gre...ara/index.html I think older
boats like this one have personality. They have staying power. They show the owner has
good taste. Why in the world would anybody waste money on a MacGregor26 when they
could have a real cruiser like this one.

Cheers,
Ellen

I thought that you liked the 26 better. What ever happened to your old
baby-****-colored Crapanado?

What is happening in that picture? Why is the anchor dropped and the sails
raised?
Do you sail over the anchor to break it free from a muddy bottom?

I anchored behind a little island that was blocking the wind. I left the sails up
so we could take pictures with the sails up. It was sort of slowly spinning round and round.
It's only about three feet deep where it's anchored. We just climbed off the ladder and
waded to the beach to take the pictures.

Cheers,
Ellen

Photoshop.
Notice the "oil-on-the-water" effect where the ripples are smaller on the
left with "Ellen"/Neal?

Nellen will just claim that's where her Coppertone washed off in the
water when she jimped in...after all, in her opinion, oil calms the
waves, right?
