Season's Greetings Robert, RK> Well. this is it took the stick off today :-( How you doin' out there, RK> managed to get into any mischief ? ------------------ What!? Already!? My season just started :^) I took a newish C&C 27 out today for a nice long sail. The weather forcast was calling for gale force winds so I thought I'd single hand :^) Lots of fun, but I only did 6 knots (the gale didn't show :^( I got tired of waiting for a stinkin' bank to give me money for a decent boat, so I decided to charter instead :^) I joined a charter club that gives me unlimited sailing for a nominal monthly fee (less than the cost of moorage!!) Not a bad deal, I'd say :^) As soon as the ""windy season" gets here I'm taking off for a weekend through the islands - I don't know which ones yet, but there are lots of them around so I shouldn't have too much trouble finding a couple RK> Am aroung for a few weeks then the heavy travel starts.

Drop me a note an let RK> me know how you're doing --------------------- Not yet. I was close, but the bank managed to find a last minute snag (like I switched employers!) so now I'm in search of another bank! Definitely *very* odd that the Jeanneau is still up for grabs! Sure she needs work desperately, but it's an overall good sound boat. I guess poor Tom will end up keeping her for the winter... I may give him a call in the spring I started working at Queenship Yachts this week. Not a bad place but it's a long drive - 50km each way. Fortunately, I don't have to deal with rush hour. Unfortunately, I start at 6:00 each day! I don't know what's happening in Toronto, but on Nov 12th on the Knowledge Network, there's a documentary showing here on BC super yacht builders - I've worked for most of them! The show's at 21:00 (pst) and I'm trying to find someone around here with a vcr and cable. I've got a month to do it so I should be okay :^) TTYL Cheers, Augustin~~~=== National Yacht Club, Toronto - S2STOR - S2SVCR ...

The new boat has no spinnaker gear yet so there's not much for a bowman to do. :) We do run a pretty aggressive race schedule though, races just about every second weekend. The next full weekend regatta will likely be in the early Spring. I'll let you know the date when we finalize it. --- WM v3.11/93-0359 * Origin: Ship to Shore, Vancouver,BC [604]540-9596 (1:153/7064) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 254 SAILING Ref: DEJ00006 Date: 10/14/96 From: GENO DELLAMATTIA Time: 10:14am \/To: BRENT HENDRICKS (Read 2 times) Subj: First launching!
