Title: Hand Holding
Post by: don l on June 18, 2009, 11:46:37 AM
Knowing I post to many sites about our cp 16 , I want to take the time to thank all for your help and comments.  This is our 2nd season at sailing and your advice through the winter has made this a more knowledgeable, and fun experience.  thanks from the heart.

   I don't remember if I've ever replied to any of your posts, but thank you for the thank you. I too have learned much from all the folks here. Here's to a great 2009 season. Here in Southern NJ, its' been raining for the last 8 years it seems. The forecasters say that next week is gonna be sunny with no rain. Yeah, we'll see.
   At any rate, Don, great to meet you!

I have to agree... this is a great bunch of knowledgeable sailors and all around nice "guys"!

And like Bob, I expect to see the animals lining up two by two any minute now...

Cheers,
Sherie

Colorado also, instead of having to take the boat to the marina, I was thinking we could sail her their.  What a wonderful day of sailing today.  We sailed at about 4 to 5 knots, with just the main up, we started out with the main reefed.  Rain, rain go away, come back another day!

May it be so, Newt.
   Here in NJ, this morning was wierd. It didn't rain...right away! Although I didn't manage to sail today, It stayed dry long enough for me to re-route all my reefing lines. Now both reef points can be managed from the mast with the pull on the correct line.
   I guess with all this rain, I have too much time to think! Very dangerous.
