To all of the people who called on the M-17 from the Latitude 38 sailing rag... I know the past owner was telling people that I was the owner, providing the check clears. Well, I'm here to tell you, he has verified, my check has cleared and "Tiperary" is officially mine! She is going to Grants Pass, Oregon in the next couple of weeks and then home to San Francisco in a few weeks after that. I'm working way to many hours to enjoy her at the moment. If she were here, I'l likely have to take a few days off (no, no, no) to get to know her. So, as it were, I'm pleased she's not here. When December comes around, I'll give up the work for about five months and then you'll hear about some of my sailing adventures! Hopefully in warm waters. Bill M-17 SF Bay Area
