Thanks for the link. I was reading that he had an engine problem a
couple of days before they set off. I hate that. If he's anything like
me, he'll now have that little seed of doubt in the back of his mind,
just festering. Man, I hate that.

He's a handy guy. Hopefully, it's fixed and the rest will be smooth
sailing.

Exceptionally handsome boat he's got there........ :-)


Of the approximately 50 Sundowners Doug mentions in his blog, most
were 30-footers.
There were less than 20 of the 36's built, with apocryphal dockside
historians typically mentioning numbers between 12-18. There are about
a half dozen 36's in the Pacific NW, (where the original dealer was
located), including mine. It's rare to know another person with a 36
Sundowner, especially when that ownership wasn't the basis for initial
introduction.

Wishing the Kings the very best. Looks like they got the "ism" for
this cruise ironed out
with the fuel system glitch, so perhaps they will have better luck
from here out.
