Yeah, I know. Sad but true. Thanks, Adrian.

Wow.  I'm looking forward to turning the next page.  Keep us posted.

Sounds like quite an adventure.  Thanks for sharing.  I'm off to look for the pics on facebook.  Sue

Too bad we missed you ivanross.  Maybe next year. There were some interesting seminars, although they had several last minute changes that were disappointing.

And, yes, in my marina there are about twice as many power boats as sail and I often marvel at how much they must be spending on fuel.  Different strokes..., I guess.  Personally, I dislike that noisy, smelly, banging over the waves.  If/when I get too old to manage the sailboat by myself, maybe I'd try a trawler...but I can't see the attraction of those big, gas-guzzling muscle boats.  Obviously, by the number of them at the show, there are plenty of folks who don't share my opinion.

I'll be there on the 16th, probably mostly listening to the seminars.  If anyone else is around I'm up for a brew....seminar listening makes me thirsty.  3:00 sound good.  I noticed on the floorplan there is a little martini glass icon on the bottom right corner of the lake.  Is that where we're meeting?  Sue

I'm here! I use this site almost like a manual for my new-to-me boat.  It's great! (except for the "expletive" spam).  Anytime I have a question I just use the search feature and almost always up pops the answer.  When it doesn't, I post and someone answers.  It's great!  Perhaps most of the common newbie-type questions have been answered??

Either way, Suselle and I had a great first summer together.  I got all the bugs worked out of her and she's sailing well ....and I think I'm starting to catch on too!  Next summer I hope to get down below all set up and comfy....new stove, head, maybe a table of some sorts....been reading up and looking at the pics in the gallery.  Questions to follow as the planning continues.....

Would it be possible for you to move her South and sail in the winter??  Perhaps we could work out a boat swapping deal??   ...always scheming, me.   
Best of luck, John, no matter how it turns out.

I just measured mine and the side berths are 6'8".  The V-berth is 6'3" right down the centre.  It is a 1985 boat.  I'm not sure if the berths vary in size or not.  Suzeh

Tks for the advice!  Sounds easier to cut a little piece of wood off the end than the metal track.  My husband has got me all set up with the proper tools, the new Garhauer Low Lead Cars are on the way, so hopefully I'll be back to finally sailing this boat in a few days. 

Give me a shout if you're in town for any more courses.
