Title: Named by a reluctant sailing spouse?
Post by: Greene on October 10, 2010, 06:01:54 PM

We spent the weekend on our CP19 in Lake Mendota (Madison, WI) and anchored out for the evening in front of the Memorial Student Union. In the mooring field we saw this somewhat neglected boat. We're betting the name came when the guy towed it home the first time and his spouse said, " You're not getting me on that mighty sinking deathtrap!"

Also saw one beautiful wooden master and a new ComPac.

It was a great place to spend the night at anchor.

Now that is funny!

Strange (warm) weather here too. Can't believe I'm wearing shorts with the convertible top down in mid-October! No complaints mind you!

Had to pull the boat out this weekend. Water is getting real low and running out of ramp (and dock!) to retrieve.
