It's time to put our beloved Puppy Luff up for adoption. Only good homes need apply.

Wow- almost enough to make me trade in my 23. Shes beautiful.
Mike:
That is one beautiful yacht. I think you are selling too cheap. To echo Newt, it sure is tempting to put "Koinonia" up for sale and change my name to Bob16. OUCH! She just slapped me upside the head!
I had one of those LightTwins...1963. My friend Dennis still uses it on his dink.

Well Puppy Luff has new owners today. They are going to take her to their lake house up in northern Wisconsin. I think she found a nice new family.
I told him to sign up on this site for information and advice, but I really just want to hear how she is doing up north. I am really going to miss that pretty little boat.

Well Mike, I'm disappointed, I thought I might get to see Puppy Luff just once before she found a new home, but I'm glad she found a good family. I'll bet you are really excited about getting your 19 on the water. I found the West Marine Store in Nashville and bought the foot for the bow pulpit on my 16, also got a tiller tamer, and a 1972 4 hp Johnson outboard. So I'm ready to go, if the weather would just cooperate.................
OH NO! You found a West Marine store. That is a really bad thing to do. Every time I come within 2 miles of our WM I'm sure some money is deducted from my credit card automatically. I try to buy most of my boat parts from on line sources to save money. but that darn WM is just so handy and well stocked. I have been pricing out AGM deep cycle batteries and WM has just about the best price/Amp Hour deals around. So sometimes they can be cost effective.
Well I hope I am as happy with the 19 as I was with Puppy Luff. I think we'll get a chance to sail her this weekend.
Happy Sailing,
Mike
LOL, yeah I noticed they were right fond of some of the stuff they have at West, but when you figure in shipping for most of the small items I would buy there, it comes out about the same. Looking forward to hearing about your first sail. (Pics too?)
