Hi Thom,

How are you?

Have you done any sailing lately? I really hope that the answer is "yes".

"yes".


You ain't heard? Thom's a 'beached bum' by his own admission. Too old
and infirm to do any more sailing. Not that he really did much sailing
before he quit, though.

That motorsailor Gulf 32 is known world-wide for it's poor sailing and
really unacceptable ability to go to weather. One can only sail off the
wind without an assist from the motor. Pilot house and high topsides
made it a slug. Sails were too small and motor was too large. Was easier
to always use the motor.

Donal,
The answer is "NO" Like scraping Barnacles, that's behind me. I can't
say I don't miss it but I knew it was time to Beach myself AND ADMIT IT.
67yrs it did me proud. No regrets!

Not like some others who no longer have a boat but can't admit it.

"Pneuma" now pays my Visa Account so I know I had a good boat. Its still
taking care of me on shore.

Hey Ol' Thom-
We've seen two other boats named 'Pneuma' one was at our marina and I
have some pics of her; the other came sailing into the mouth of the
Alligator River in a rising gale as we were debating whether to go
out.

My question is if it's Fall and your just getting around to checking
the bottom and your finding barnacles what have you been doing all
summer?

No wind in summer except for thunderstorms. Sailing season starts for
us now and goes from now till mid June. I am in N. FL.

OK, It's too hot to go sailing but it can't be too hot to go for a
swim under the boat to prevent a big problem later.
