I'm sitting here in Dallas; its been raining for three days, and we have now reached a new rain record for North Texas. Originally they anticipated 3 to 4 inches of rain would be enough to break the old - maximum rainfall - record, but in the past three days we have gotten another 10 to 13 inches.....! Whole areas are flooded again, and a few cars have been flushed off roads by the walls of water flowing there. At a flooded underpass, the police had erected four barricades totally blocking the road. However, a pickup truck driver drove around the barricades, (I guess he thought it was meaningless nonsense) and then he got stuck and had to be rescued in the deep water in the underpass. After he was rescued from the roof of his stalled and drowned truck by the police, I hope they gave him a ticket for "Excessive Idiocy". I also finished Michael Mann's new book; " A LITTLE BREEZE to the West", which is his story of how at age 22 he sailed from California to Hawaii in his M-15. It's great story; well written; with extensive details on his planning; and later his doubts, worries, and fears about his navigation and the weather he encountered, out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean . A very enjoyable and most informative story, including the ending, where he discovers a new purpose in his life; goes to Maritime School, and today is Captain Michael Mann who has sailed most of the World's Oceans. His book grabs you, and you will have a hard time putting it down until you know that he finally did reach Hawaii after 39 days at sea. Ciao, Connie
That looked like so much fun! That's what pocket cruising is all about.....!
Thanks for sharing David.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Bob
(PS. I have a 15 available. However, Jim Kirwins 15 is sold. He won the Cruiser Challenge last July)
