Boring!

I did, indeed, miss it. I stand corrected.

Well, at least we know now that he can afford to fix up that 28 foot
sailboat and how he'll afford to go cruising in it, LOL.

Is that an apology for being a condesending ass?
Doubtful

Apology accepted.

BTW, I just a few minutes ago updated the page to include my most recent
piece about my late fall cruise last year in some fairly brisk conditions.

Sorry for my stalkers they just can't live with out me. (you would
never believe the drama.)
Heres my restoration work on VW's http://community.webshots.com/user/Kafertoys

People get upset when you can't do things for free.

I did trade the boat for alot of car repair, so it seemed like a great
deal its in great shape and te wood work on the inside is just
beautiful. I will try to post pictures tomorrow.

I do alot of motorboating, ski type and did teach sailing at a
boyscout camp on 14' sunfish. so I'm not a fish out of water here
but being this is 28' (foot) I know its not just something to drag in
and out of the water.

First question would be weres a good place on line to find supplies
needed like new sails?

Could I sail something this size down the east atlantic coast or would
it be more for large lakes?

I suggest you post some information and photos about your boat (don't attach
them here but put them on Flicker or a similar site and provide links) and
ask specific questions.

Some of the most active members of this group don't actually have boats but
just use this as a place to live out their fantasies and make cutting
remarks about people they envy. You'll get better responses if you can
demonstrate that you are a real person with a real boat.

What a warm and friendly greeting for a newcomer! Is there a written
test he has to pass before he's good enough to inhabit YOUR newsgroup?



Sounds like someone had his toes stepped on ... you don't have a boat?
Cheers,

Smaller boats have sailed around the world and larger ones have been sunk
just offshore. It depends on the boat and the crew more than the size.

Go cruzin, fergit anything Wilbur sez. You are only limited by what
YOU can take cause the boat will almost always take more than you.
Take her down the east coast, she is about right for a couple. Do it
first and worry later about what people think.

A 28' S2 on the gulf coast.

I'm stoked I've been to the wooden boat festival in New Orleans and
think sailing to something like that would be an adventure
