Hello from a newbie!

I mentioned Tavares for the storage of the trailer not just because that's where "my" boat will be but also that it has easy access to both coasts for convenience of anyone that wants to use it.

I just wanted to a huge thank you to all that offered help regarding transport of my Com-Pac 23 from Dunedin. I'm very pleased to say that the purchase is now confirmed and thanks to the wonderful people at Lake Fair View Marina near Orlando, namely Cynthia and Jay they will pick up my boat in May to bring it to Tavares. Wonderful friendly service. They even have a CP 23 that they provide sailing lessons on so I likely will brush up the skills after so many years!
Thanks again for all your help!

I appreciate all the kind offers and suggestions regarding the transport of my Com-Pac 23 from Dunedin to Tavares on Lake Dora (FL). Pleased to say that the situation is now resolved having found those great guys at Lake Fairview Marina in Orlando who will shortly bring the boat over to Tavares by the end of the month.
Very excited to have the boat at last although a little apprehensive as I haven't sailed for 20 years (have the RYA competent crew certification) and it will be like starting all over again....complicated by having a rather painful torn rotator cuff at present, so if there are any skilled sailors local to Tavares that would be free to offer some confidence building instruction on the boat I would love to hear from you . I fully intend to take the ASA course with Lake Fairview Marina as soon as I can schedule the time.
So pleased to have found this very friendly forum!

Robert:
  So glad you got your 23 moved. I know about the rotator cuff thing...I've had them both rebuilt, one in 2006 the other in 2008. Fortunately for me, I had a great surgeon and PT's. But it was a long recovery process, 6 months out of work for each one....and I'm not a good patient. But,  perservere and be patient...you will recover. I have logged 2 million meters on my indoor rower and row outdoors as much as possible with hardly any pain from the shoulders.
  Now if I could only get my brain to work as well....
Cheers! Bob23
Any photos of your 23?
