Hello Mates: Ah yes things have gone rather well. I have installed my sanitation system according to the Holding tank installation plans listed on the catalina 27 projects page. Went very well. I fabricated a double birth using the plans on the catalina project page. Went extra very well. I also fabricated a battery box to fit my two 6 volt Golf cart batteries and my 2 12 volt Deep cycle batteries. Went extrodinarily well. But thats because I did it. Ha Ha!!! Also installed an older rollerfurling system and a 150% genny on my 1974 Catalina 27 Std rig. Went extreamley well. Look I have probabley thanked you wonderful people a thousand times by now. But here goes one more time. This web site is awsome. The people who list their accomplishments and projects on them are outstanding. The tips By LaDonna and the rest of the crew have saved me many hours of frustration. When one is born with a Scicilian temper he is greatful to all who can make his day go smoothly. Oh my wife thanks you too!! I have yet to paint my beautiful Piccolina. I still have all LaDonna's tips so maybe next year. It was a rather dreadfull winter this year but the sun is shining and so am I. Well may I wish you fair winds and a following sea this season. CIAO, Joe Passanisi Franklin, Nh
