I'm back!!!

[rogerschwake]

  Ahoy all you Com-Pac sailors and CLR nuts. This is ROGER the former Sun Cat owner. Sold the Sun Cat last spring and went the summer with what I hoped would fill its place a RC boat, didn't work at all. Started looking and bugging the wife for a boat this winter. She gave in and I found a boat in Florida that I hope works out. Save a place of me at this years CLR because I plan on being there Steve. If you want to know what I bought you are going to have to come to the CLR to find out, it's not a Com-Pac.  Thinking of going back to the North Chanel of Lake Huron in 2021. The greatest place I've found to sail. Hope to see everyone at the CLR.

Welcome Roger!
We hope to be at CLR also.  Very good to see you have another boat.

Welcome back Roger! I enjoyed meeting you at CLR and sailing aboard your Suncat. And I'm anxious to see what you are sailing these days too.
This isn't a threat or a promise but I'm planning to be at CLR again this year as well. I'll be bringing the CLC Skerry I bought last fall affectionately named "Little Blue Boat". Astute readers might guess the color! We've rowed this boat to victory at the Head of the Weir rowing race last fall in Hull, MA. Took first place in our division- masters double fixed oar. Masters meaning the combined 139 years of us, not an indication of our rowing level.

Cheers! Bob23

Roger....  welcome back to the sailing community.  I look forward to seeing you at CLR  I am planning on attending especially since the virus scare should be over.
Where in Florida did you have to travel to for the boat?

  I stayed with my mean old step mother in St. Petersburg. The weather was great, then came home to 2" of snow and cold. Picked the boat up just a little east of there and pulled home. If your still in Florida you should stay there a week or two at least.

Roger,
   In my mind I was thinking you sold your Suncat because the waters of the North Channel wore you down and broke your sailing spirit.  Especially after you fell off your boat outside of Kilarney and visited Davey Jone's Locker.  I guess I was wrong.  I'm happy your going to be sailing again and look forward to seeing you at CLR! 
I may want to go back up north again as well.  I would love to go to the FL120 and thought about it but I can't this May.

Looking forward to seeing you,

Chris  Second Wind

I don't recall anyone but me falling off a boat.  I did it in Spanish as i was returning from the showers with fresh clothes on and plenty of spectators on the dock.  Did you know that every action has an opposite and equal reaction?  Like stepping into a loosely tied dingy.  Something about physics if i recall.  I'm sure they were laughing, but I was only concerned with not losing my sunglasses and wallet.
I did have to pay the restaurant with wet currency that evening, good thing Canadian money is plastic.

I hope Roger bought a slower boat so I can keep up with him.  If not, it would only be fair if someone inconspicuously attached a small sea anchor to his boat.

[rogerschwake]

  well Carl the new boat is more than a couple feet longer and has a couple more sails. For that reason you are wrong again for sure. You'll all have to come to the CLR to see what I bought. And yes I did fall in the water when the boat was at anchor in Canada.

   happy to hear that you are back sailing again. it would be a shme to waste all that talent. sure hope we have a CLR this year so we can see the new Catalina you bought. hahaha

[Renae]

Welcome back Roger!

I hope the new one works out for you.  There are plenty of items from your old kit that I don't and probably won't use.  If you're interested we could work something out.

Renae

[rogerschwake]

  Didn't think I'd be sailing again, but was wrong again. Would be interested in a lot of what was left on board when I sold the boat to you. Get a hold of me some time and let me know what items your talking about.

ROGER

[Renae]

Sounds good.  Let me know if your boat works out.  I sailed quite a bit last year, but with the circumstances and my job I don't know how much I'll get out this year.  I'm hoping a lot.  It's my happy place. 

I'll be in touch. 

[kickingbug1]

   lets start a pool-----im betting on a Catalina. what does everyone else say?

[kickingbug1]

    im probably wrong, roger is pretty much the king of catboats.

[rogerschwake]

  That's two strikes, one more and you out. You'll never figure out what I bought for a boat this time, it is a sail boat and it's bigger than the Sun Cat.
