Connie, I definitely want dibs on a first edition.... Joe ----- Original Message ----- From: Conbert H.

I'm still monitoring the M-Boat list, to at least enjoy M15 goings-on and sailing from my computer screen. Years ago someone on the List made the suggestion that I write up my experiences. I've finally started doing that. About the first 120 pages are complete. As all good sailing yarns need a beginning, mine starts in the bathtub, and progressed to model sailboats, row boats / canoes, and then on to real sailboats. I write about buying a Norwegian fishing boat at the Amsterdam Boat Show in 1963; taking delivery of the boat in Rotterdam and then going from Rotterdam through inland waterways back to Paris, where we lived at that time. Dutch, Belgian and a few French locks were power operated. The remainder of the French ones were hand operated - about 152 of them.... Lots of fun, .... and work. Have a super time sailing on Lake Vermillion, and tell us all about it so that we can properly envy you. Connie
Hi Connie,
Glad to see you are still monitoring the M-Boat list! We have always enjoyed hearing about your past experiences, and now we will be pleased to entertain you with our cruising tales. Time waits for no one, get out there on the water as much as you can. I think I'll be returning to one on Minnesota's crown jewels, Lake Vermillion, with my M17 come mid July.
Keep the stories active my friends.
