I'm here, but my boat isn't, so not much to report, sadly. (Boat is in Washington, I am in California.) I keep reading Craig's List looking for interesting sailboats (small) but I really don't need another sailboat, I just need to retire and be near the one I have. Though I was thinking about something the other day: around the time I bought my boat I had a book called "Sailing on a Microbudget" or maybe Cruising on a Microbudget? It was about pocket cruisers like the WWP. Anyway, either in there or in SBJ at about the same time, someone wrote about using a trolling motor instead of a gas motor on these boats. I seriously considered it, doing mainly lake sailing at that time. Has anyone on the list tried a trolling motor (and thus battery) in their M15? Bobbie
