Yes, #238 is "Amnesia", vintage 1983. I bought her about a year ago. She resides at the boat dock in my back yard, on the community lake here, called the Islands. We regularly take her to the larger lakes in Arizona for great sailing. She's a terrific boat!

No stripes on the hull, looked a lot like Miss T (except a 15) but she did have unique multi-colored sails. It lives just across Sandusky Bay from BuscaBrisas, so now that I know it's around I'll have to keep an eye out for it. Sailed by apparently a man and two boys, who seemed to be having fun! Sunday, Busca was engaged in some survey work. Two other Great Lakes Cruising Club members and myself set out in the morning across the bay to Bay Point, a large sand bar that blocks most of the entrance to the bay, where we started motoring up and down the columns of a grid, recording soundings at intervals. The bar has grown and shifted a lot since I first started sailing the area and the commercial charts are quite out of date. As a testimony, when we were nearly done with the east side of the bar, a Tartan 33 grounded heavily on the hard sand. After a while, we went over to see if we could be of assistance. After much circling around, we took their anchor out the length of the rode for them so they could kedge themselves off. All they had to winch with were the Genoa winches and the two older gents just weren't able to winch the boat off, so eventually they called Towboat US. At this point, there was so much chop from powerboat wake that it was too rough to resume our work in the shoals, so we had to call it a day with plans to complete the work as soon as we can get a suitable day. After the data is all compiled, a drawing of the entrance will be made and it will be included in the next harbor report for the bay, one of thousands of harbor reports that the club maintains for the entire Great Lakes. I have an entire shelf in a bookcase dedicated to nothing but these harbor reports. Bob G., the seniormost member of the three of us, explained the method he wanted to use to collect the data, so I steered the course, he recorded the depths, and Maggie watched the gps to tell me if I were to steer to port or starboard and Bob when to note the depth. It was not too easy trying to steer following the course exactly and there seemed to be a current that was pushing us eastward. I'd like to experiment with OziExplorer/GPS interface and try recording depths at random spaces while motoring or sailing around. If I can figure out a way to do it single-handed, then that would go a long way towards allowing me to contribute to more harbor reports.
