So this past Saturday Rachel and I were walking up to the path at a city lake, Calhoun/Bde Maka Ska. It is a small lake with a sailing center and boats on mooring balls. Even a Catalina 27. As we are walking to the birthday party I look at the docks and I see a sail with the number 7173 on it. I look at the boat and sure enough, it is an O'Day 25. My old O'Day 25. Made my way over and the kid who bought it is mooring it their now. He made a run down the Mississippi after he bought it 5 years ago and made it to St. Louis. He has an electric trolling motor on it as gas motors are not allowed on the lake. He uses it now mainly as a party barge but, its nice to see the boat being "sailed" and he still owns it and is enjoying the hell out of it.
