Same story here outside of Washington DC. Almost every weekend has been a washout. And the ones that have been good have been consumed with yardwork and other 'required' duties ... ugh ...

Boat sold quickly on CL. Now how do I delete this post? Or can one the you admins do it for me? Thx!

Funny - I was going to start a new topic, but then I saw this one and decided to jump on. My M25 currently has a roller furler. I trailer my boat to the ramp and then home every time I use it.

Thank you all for the kind words. JohnCT - you're in my thoughts. I hope you continue winning the battles!

I'm posting the boat on CL today. I was just giving the folks here a shot first.

His daughter is 9 and his son is 5 so it's going to be awhile before they are off single handing!

This forum has been a wonderful resource for me and a dear friend of mine. I'm hoping that someone can help out with a situation that has come up.

So what did you get? Photos or it hasn't happened.

Just noticed that I never finished the story. So I did make the cuts and enlarged the windows. Worked great and allows much more light inside the boat now.

I'm in Manassas. Just got home from spending the week in Palm Beach. I'll complain about the cold here!

My first successful outing on the Potomac River this summer:

Old sailors trick. My Grandfather used to do that.

Very nice spacers!

Got any compasses, inclinometers or depth finders you want to get rid of?

Can I justify spending $4,000 on electronics when I only spent $3,000 on the boat. :tat26: No! WHY Why why??? You can do this for less than $400. $150 for a VHF and antenna and I'm getting one of these. I think it's all that you'd need. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Lowrancereg-Mark-4-HDI-SonarGPS...
