Thanks Connie, I am still getting used being "married". She doesn't say much but she sure looks nice. Just a little long in the tooth but nothing I can't smooth out with time and patience. Lost the hitch and ball connection going over the Tehachapis. Tell everyone to always make sure that the tensioning nut (under the tailer hitch) is nice and tight. Make it tight enough so you can just barley lever the handle on top with your hand. Put a small amount of grease on the ball too, but wipe it off when you get home. If you ever get on the road over the summit on your way to Tehachapi (7 miles before, headed west of course) watch for some gouges in the slow lane, that's where the pucker factor got to about 9 on a scale of 10. Safety chains really work when properly attached....never go home without them !!! Fair Winds.

May you have many a grand and wonderful sail with your new "toy". It just gets better and better every time you go sailing with your M15. The greater your familiarity with the M15, the more you will love it. If you have questions or need advice, just yell!
