Had a great day sailing last Sunday. Lots of people out and vhf was lively. Heard a Mayday that you can just make out about 40 seconds in. Captain was looking for a Coast Guard evacuation of an unconscious passenger. Passenger came to and Captain decided tp head into a port where there would be a waiting ambulance. All you can hear on the video though is 'Mayday'.

Nice video.
Nice video bought the same boat last year hope to take sailing lessons and get her out next season . I'm down in fairhaven and hope to sail around buzzards bay. I may be back for tips.

Great vid!!
Looks like a real fun day!!
Jim,
I'd love to get together! Anytime you'd like to meet, just let me know. I'd be happy to visit you at your boat in Fairhaven or vice versa.
Marc
Sorry I'm new to the forum and been busy working on the house and holiday things.
That would be great I have tons of questions . I'm actually hoping to put the boat in to a shop to repair a small crac in the keel from the boat hitting the trailer cross member. I'm hunting for some one reputable.
Jim,
Get in touch with me this spring for a get together. My boat is usually in by mid May, so anytime you'd like to come over the bridge to Cautamet I'd be happy to go sailing with you. I'm at Kingman Marina. Likewise, let me know when you are in the water.
As far as keel repairs go, if it is just a fiberglass repair you could probably do it yourself. If you would rather have the repair done for you, I'm sure any marina could do it. Shouldn't be difficult and I'm sure it's something that every fiberglass shop has seen before.
