I haven't been to the boat since tearing my calf muscle 5 weeks ago today. After several severe rain storms with high winds I was sure I would find water inside, but not a drop. Bilge is completely dry. Of course the o/b refused to start.

Hoping by next week I'll be able to pull her out, powerwash the bottom, and replace the steaming light and masthead anchor light wiring.

Of course the outboard would not start.  Is it supposed to start?     Eclipse has new home as of yesterday.  Bryan Twinn from Michigan.  A bit sad to see her drive away, but Carol refused to have 3 sailboats around.  So just the Horizon and the 14.2 left.  Any bites on the Seidelmann?

Congrats on the sale of OTW. No bites on the Seidelmann, the market is flooded with boats this year.

Glad you're on the mend Carl! Better sailing weather is coming soon!

I have been sailing since the early 1970's. My favorite boat was whatever I could afford at the time! We have owned a couple of C16's, a Picnic Cat and a Suncat.
