WELCOME BACK!

Post by kmclemore »

Welcome back to all who have wandered away and are stopping in for a visit.

The Classifieds and Mods sections aren't fully operational yet, but Russ, our new owner (replaced Heath), is hard at work bring them back to life. He has all the data, it's really just a question of making it fit this new site.

Tell us what you've been doing, if you still have your Mac or Tattoo, and if you've made improvements or had particularly interesting travels in it. We'd love to hear what's up.

(And yes, I'm *still* a moderator here! Going on 16 years now.)

Hey Kevin, old members and new!
I’ve been on the site for 14+ years under this name (add some under a slightly different name) and got such great advice from you and others. Really looking forward to touching base with any old members and meeting new ones!
Our Mac is now heavily modified!
I’ve really missed the site, but have been checking in once in a while to catch up. Still sailing my MacX and motoring it in MacTrawler mode. My wife and I pulled it from MidMissouri to Spanish, Ontario this past summer and sailed for a week in the North Channel of Lake Huron to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary!

My pleasure, Jeff. I've been working for a long time to bring the board more stability by finding a new owner, and I'm very glad Russ stepped forward. He's the perfect choice for a new owner and I'm glad to help him to get the board back to the way you all expect it to look and feel.

So glad to see the site will continue. I haven’t launched the boat yet due to work and some health issues but hopefully soon!!

Congrats on your 50th wedding anniversary! The admiral pictured below and I celebrated our 30th this year. :D I've only been on this site for a few years and hope to chime in for many more years. I retire next year where I will now have more time to learn about sailing our :macx: . Thanks to all who have worked hard to keep and maintain this site.

Ned, 50 is a wonderful number. At 45 years, the Admiral and I fall between you and Mac & Cheese.

More on topic, it’s great to see the responses to this site being up and running again. Not just running, but with an owner at the helm who is determined to make this site even more exciting, so tell all of the Mac & Tatoo owners you know that we are here and thriving.
