Okay, so I just spent Sunday afternoon blessing Lake Michigan with my presence. Good steady 10-12 knot SSW winds all afternoon.
Toodled on back and finished puttting my baby up just before it began to sprikle. On the way home, got off the I80/I94 interstate becasue Sunday afternoon/evening traffic west to Chicago is a zoo. Hopped on State Hwy 6 (Grand Army of the Republic). Saw a chinese buffet restaurant (out of several dozen food places) and purely on impluse pulled over for dinner.
While at dinner the group next to me was going on and on about what a great sailing day it was and how much they like sailing. I'm asked about my boat, and when I reply "MacGregor 26", the gent immediately asks "MacGregor 26X?" - which is not a common question. Of the two hundred boats in the Michigan City marina, there are four (4) 26X's. This gent owns one of the other ones. What are the odds?

Mac owners can spot each other in a crowd. Look for
- big smiles on their faces
- well tanned from actually being out enjoying the water
- sense of peace that comes from having the perfect balance of enough boat for fun but not so much to be stressed
- full wallets
