Hi all, I have 1985 cp16 number 2297 purchased this spring. Sail out of Carlyle lake in Illinois. Looking forward to being part of the community. Thanks for the forum, I have really enjoyed it. Matt

Mattman,

What marina area do you launch from?
I work at West Access Marina, 16 years. My 19 is sitting in a slip below the marina office.
Stop by sometime, would be nice to meet you. Also, pencil in for CLR next year. not sure of dates yet.

I look forward to seeing you out there sometime. My boats name is Together Time

Thanks guys, I usually launch from Hazlet-although Keysport is closer it is usually much busier. I will certainly stop by West Access and ask for you Mac-usually there about one time a month just checking out boats.

Thanks so much guys looking forward to meeting you both,  I have really enjoyed having the 16 as a project that can just sit next to the house for whenever I am in the mood to tinker. Most of the major items have been replaced or repaired and I have been able to start sailing her a bit. Still lots of little things to take care of this winter.

   hey matt, just wanted to say it was nice meeting you on the water yesterday, ill contact the other guys and put a "race" together. again great job on the interior makes mine look like (well you know)

What time were you guys out?

We didn't make it too far past CSA. My buddy was eating crackers and water, but made the trip with me just to go. Turns out he had brown bottle flu from the wedding the night before. 

I also saw a 23 out and about around keyesport marina on Saturday............any idea who that could be?

Put the boat in Sat about noon, spent the night south of the Keysport beach in the lee of the south wind (though it blew from the east much of the night). Sailed back up to watch some of the Whale and saw Kickinbug sailing out of Hazlet so sailed over to say hi. Not really sure of the time, early afternoon though. Btw is cove 6 really silted in now any idea of the depth, I was headed in when I saw a guy walking around the cove and only up to his knees. So went around the corner to the north for the night.
