As many of you know, I keep my 19/II on Smith Mountain Lake in SW Virginia. I am fortunate enough to have bought some precious waterfront property on this lake thirty years ago in an effort to give my kids as close to the same influence of a "lake influenced childhood" as I did growing up on Cayuga Lake in Central NY State.
Well, After fighting off the editor friend of the Smith Mountain Lake magazine for many years, The Admiral and I decided to allow her to feature our waterfront in the current issue of the magazine.

Y'all are welcome anytime!

I have heard of SML for years, Tim, but never sailed there. Now, I keep my Com-pac 23 here: www.blackbeardsailingclub.com near New Bern. Nice place to visit.
Back to SML, now I have a Windrider, maybe I'll bring it up there sometime.
Very inspiring Tim. Really makes me want to visit (and trailer my CP19) from Kinston NC. My daughter-in-law is from Roanoake Va and speaks of frequenting SML when she was coming up. My daughter's fiance's parents live on SML so looks like we need to make a trip there!
Very nice!

What a nice article! And the lighthouse...what an accomplishment!
If I leave now I can be there at 5:00 for Sundowners!
Great looking place ......
Geeez .... He has talent and abilities in addition to his other attributes .... and all along I've thought he was just another pretty face ! !
Very nice. What more can be said?
Sweet! Bob Wood and I sailed on SML in 1992 with his Mud Hen. We were on our way to Maine with a truck and boat trailer.
Nice lake to sail, as I recall.

What a terriffic article. So much to do and so little time. You have made the most of yours. Congratulations. Would love to sail in and share a vino.
Tim and Vicki,
Thank you for your hospitality and great conversation.
We had a great time, if you're ever in northern Illinois, you have a place to stay.
Your home is beautiful and you've done a wonderful job on the light house.
I'm keeping my eyes open for an old wooden boat, everyone needs a bar!
Vicki,
If things work out with NC, we would love to have you visit and bring your paint supplies.
I was admiring your talent and should have ommented earlier.
While you're painting the scenery from the dock, Tim can build us a light house!
Hoping to meet again,
Carl and Joan
