Robbin, You must be getting excited about the possibility of actually sailing your M-23. I have been following your work via your web page and I must say, you've been very busy. I'm not sure how far you wish to sail but I have sailed the lower part of the bay with Doug, Mike, Al and Bill. Keep in mind, I have an M-15 to the skinny water isn't so much a problem for me. I have sailed from Tilghman over to the backside of St. Michael's then over to Oxford. This was a nice weekend trip. If you want to go further, then I would suggest Solomon's Island. The cliffs are nice to look at and the wind is always great. If you really want to push the distance, then you could head to the tip of St. Mary's county and head up the Potomac for Kinsale. They have a nice marina there where you could eat and shower. There are a lot of nice coves, that you could spend time in with your M-10. I'm sure you will have a great time. Make sure you send out a full report of the maiden voyage.

The final barrier coat went on today followed by the bottom paint. The boat arrived with the head removed and I would like to put one back in before going on a long weekend cruise. Any suggestions that would help in replacing it? I also would like to update the mast head light while the mast is on the ground. Any suggestions for modern replacements like an LED type? And finally my son is planning on flying in for a Chesapeake Bay cruise for a few days to blow the dust off the boat come June. I have only day sailed out in the Bay and would appreciate any suggestions of places to sail to. We are leaving out of Chesapeake Beach MD. Thanks in advance!
