Hi Everyone: I'm back reading the website. Only one month till launch and I can't wait. I was just reflecting on what a great season I had last year as a first time boat owner even if it was a bit of a $queeze (. . and you all know what I mean). I gotta say that if it hadn't been for the previous owner of my boat being two slips down, and the good people who post to this website, I would have had a real struggle learning about reefing, optimum sail trim, etc. Thanks for everyone's help last year. I'm starting this season with more confidence and plan to sail with the genoa instead of a regular jib . . we're making real progress here! Glad to see LaDonna is still around (she's got two boats now!), Hayden, Mike, and some other regulars. Looking forward to a new sailing season! Melody Miller

A Month Until Launch?

Maybe I'm just a fair weather sailor, but Melody must not live in New England. We're more than a month off unless you like to sail in long underwear! I bought my 1st bought last year, too, and FULLY understand the $crunch. I'll have to write the story up sometime - after I get over the embarassments!

Hi Mike

Hi Mike: I live in Alexandria, Va and slip my boat in Mayo, MD, just a 20 minute motor to the Chesapeake. Some boats are already launched but mine goes in April 1 if I can get it ready. I hope my costs this year are not as great as last year. I would like to take out the Origo alcohol stove and put in a little Coleman Propane stove. That might require some carpentry work. Also, I'd like to change the name to agree with the boat documentation. Regarding your embarrassments, what were they? You're among friends <g> See ya, Melody
