It is beautiful here - when we're not being assaulted by the sideways rain so famous in southeast AK! To get up to nearly 200 inches annually, the rain has to be very, very ambitious. I do love all the wilderness, water and islands. My other hobby, K9 search and rescue, takes advantage of all the wilderness too. I look forward to seeing an M15 in person sometime - maybe even sailing on one! A 23 too! When I finally get off this island... I think our whole family will be traveling to New Hampshire this spring, so we'll get to see the right coast. I've never been east of Montana! (except for a layover in NY on my way to Scotland back in 1985) Where are you located?

Thanks for introducing us "Right Coasters" to the beauties of Alaska sailing. I'm envious..... not having our M15 anymore. Connie
