I slept in the boat both nights I was on the road, and found that it makes a fine "boaterhome". Since I've been here, I've launched twice at Oxnard and done some nice ocean sailing. What I'm looking for now is a good sailing lake within a reasonable distance of my home in Frazier Park (top of the Grapevine, between Bakersfield and Los Angeles). I'm interested in a good launch ramp with a dock to tie up to while I park the car, room for sailing without dodging power boat wakes constantly, and the possibility of good wind. Anyone have a suggestion of where I could find such a lake? While I have everyone's rapt attention, I have another question. I'm constantly trying different ways of hanging fenders on my 15. Some work better than others, but I still haven't found the perfect solution in 22 years. I'd like to hear what other skippers have come up with for attaching fenders in the right locations for good boat protection. So, tell me, how do you tie one on (fender, that is)?
