Hi gang,
With most of your boats all nestling under winter covers or in a quiet garage and dreaming of a springtime with sparkling blue water, and sunshine; with filled sails on a nice beam reach; a happy gurgling bow wave; and their owners and children on board enjoying themselves; we'd like to add to this and wish you all Happy Sailing and Pleasant Adventures in 2016.
May you always have a hands-breadth of water under your keel / and may you always have fair winds on all your sailing courses and in your life.

: Rick,
When I was about 85, Poseidon visited me at the lake where I sailed one day, and after giving me a cold FOSTERS beer, asked me how long I thought I could continue sailing.
I had to admit that stepping the mast, and putting the outboard on the mount, and loading all the things in the M15 was getting harder and harder to do when the outside air temperature was 88 degrees F..
Then Poseidon asked if my wife, with two hip joint replacements still liked to go sailing? I had to admit that she didn't feel secure on a twisting finger pier at the Marina anymore.
So, that fall I sold our M15 to a young couple who are now sailing our boat on Lake Champlain.
I don't have a boat anymore, but still have lots of memories of sailing down the English Channel from Holland to Le Havre. Sailing in the Med, crossing the Adriatic several time and exploring the Yugoslavian island chain, and spending weeks sailing in the Danish Islands and in the Stockholm archipelago.
Sailing is a great sport, and the older you get the more experience you have: (always have at least 3 anchors on board).

Connie, Have Merry Christmas and a Great New Year.? Been reading your notes for a few years now.I am the guy that went to the "Dark Side" and bought a......power boat. ?I am on the Sacramento River.But at least I got a C-Dory 22 with two Hondas on the back side and closeable pilot house. ?I sold the?Monty 15 to a real sailor from Ventura county. ?He sails a lot. ?I sold him a great little boat with motor at a price less than I couldhave gotten but he is happy. ? I hope the boat is happy too. ? Thanks again Connie for your wisdom?and sailing stories....Larry Hughston in Sacramento.???ps ?I hauled the boat from Vancouver, WA ? ?It was very dry all the way home with little snow at the time on Lassen.

Hi Bones,
Thanks for the kind words....
There is a very good reason why insurance companies use an anchor as a symbol of security. The more anchors you have the safer you will be.
- You have one anchor only... A motor boat catches your rode; lifts the anchor off the bottom, wraps your rode around his prop which kills his engine and now both of you are drifting towards the rocks.... Now what? Do you have another anchor readily available?
- You have run aground. Your one anchor is out. You'd like to careen the boat to get it afloat again. To do that you need a second anchor that you can run out at 90 degrees to the bow anchor, and fasten the rode to your main halyard. Then, you can careen your boat and get it into deeper water again.
- The third anchor; a heavy one with lots of rode and chain, is for sleeping soundly on the hook in a three day Nor'easter. You may only use it once every few years, but when you do need it, you'll kiss it in gratitude for its holding power.
May Santa Claus give you the present of another good anchor. You sleep much better at anchor when you have two anchors well dug in.
Merry Christmas,
Connie & Katrina

: Rick,
When I was about 85, Poseidon visited me at the lake where I sailed one day, and after giving me a cold FOSTERS beer, asked me how long I thought I could continue sailing.
I had to admit that stepping the mast, and putting the outboard on the mount, and loading all the things in the M15 was getting harder and harder to do when the outside air temperature was 88 degrees F..
Then Poseidon asked if my wife, with two hip joint replacements still liked to go sailing? I had to admit that she didn't feel secure on a twisting finger pier at the Marina anymore.
So, that fall I sold our M15 to a young couple who are now sailing our boat on Lake Champlain.
I don't have a boat anymore, but still have lots of memories of sailing down the English Channel from Holland to Le Havre. Sailing in the Med, crossing the Adriatic several time and exploring the Yugoslavian island chain, and spending weeks sailing in the Danish Islands and in the Stockholm archipelago.
Sailing is a great sport, and the older you get the more experience you have: (always have at least 3 anchors on board).

Connie, Have Merry Christmas and a Great New Year.? Been reading your notes for a few years now.I am the guy that went to the "Dark Side" and bought a......power boat. ?I am on the Sacramento River.But at least I got a C-Dory 22 with two Hondas on the back side and closeable pilot house. ?I sold the?Monty 15 to a real sailor from Ventura county. ?He sails a lot. ?I sold him a great little boat with motor at a price less than I couldhave gotten but he is happy. ? I hope the boat is happy too. ? Thanks again Connie for your wisdom?and sailing stories....Larry Hughston in Sacramento.???ps ?I hauled the boat from Vancouver, WA ? ?It was very dry all the way home with little snow at the time on Lassen.

Hi Bones,
Thanks for the kind words....
There is a very good reason why insurance companies use an anchor as a symbol of security. The more anchors you have the safer you will be.
- You have one anchor only... A motor boat catches your rode; lifts the anchor off the bottom, wraps your rode around his prop which kills his engine and now both of you are drifting towards the rocks.... Now what? Do you have another anchor readily available?
- You have run aground. Your one anchor is out. You'd like to careen the boat to get it afloat again. To do that you need a second anchor that you can run out at 90 degrees to the bow anchor, and fasten the rode to your main halyard. Then, you can careen your boat and get it into deeper water again.
- The third anchor; a heavy one with lots of rode and chain, is for sleeping soundly on the hook in a three day Nor'easter. You may only use it once every few years, but when you do need it, you'll kiss it in gratitude for its holding power.
May Santa Claus give you the present of another good anchor. You sleep much better at anchor when you have two anchors well dug in.
Merry Christmas,
Connie & Katrina

Hi gang,
With most of your boats all nestling under winter covers or in a quiet garage and dreaming of a springtime with sparkling blue water, and sunshine; with filled sails on a nice beam reach; a happy gurgling bow wave; and their owners and children on board enjoying themselves; we'd like to add to this and wish you all Happy Sailing and Pleasant
Adventures
in 2016.
May you always have a hands-breadth of water under your keel / and may
you
always have fair winds on all your sailing courses and in your life.

For the record: I'm now 95 and it doesn't work!
I could use some "youth" today so that I could go sailing again, but now I look at Off Center Harbors lovely videos and wish I could be on board too; or start building another boat. Ah well, I still have lots of memories of good; and not so good sailing days .....
Ciao, Connie
We've never met, Connie, but you're a ray of sunshine for all of us.
Hope
when it comes my turn to swallow the anchor (and it can't be all that
long
now) I can do it with your grace and good humor.

Pushing 80, I look at 65-year-old friends as wet behind the ears. Guess I look the same to you. Hope I have a few good years left at the tiller!

: Rick,
When I was about 85, Poseidon visited me at the lake where I sailed one day, and after giving me a cold FOSTERS beer, asked me how long I thought I could continue sailing.
I had to admit that stepping the mast, and putting the outboard on the mount, and loading all the things in the M15 was getting harder and harder to do when the outside air temperature was 88 degrees F..
Then Poseidon asked if my wife, with two hip joint replacements still liked to go sailing? I had to admit that she didn't feel secure on a twisting finger pier at the Marina anymore.
So, that fall I sold our M15 to a young couple who are now sailing our boat on Lake Champlain.
I don't have a boat anymore, but still have lots of memories of sailing down the English Channel from Holland to Le Havre. Sailing in the Med, crossing the Adriatic several time and exploring the Yugoslavian island chain, and spending weeks sailing in the Danish Islands and in the Stockholm archipelago.
Sailing is a great sport, and the older you get the more experience you have: (always have at least 3 anchors on board).

Connie, Have Merry Christmas and a Great New Year.? Been reading your notes for a few years now.I am the guy that went to the "Dark Side" and bought a......power boat. ?I am on the Sacramento River.But at least I got a C-Dory 22 with two Hondas on the back side and closeable pilot house. ?I sold the?Monty 15 to a real sailor from Ventura county. ?He sails a lot. ?I sold him a great little boat with motor at a price less than I couldhave gotten but he is happy. ? I hope the boat is happy too. ? Thanks again Connie for your wisdom?and sailing stories....Larry Hughston in Sacramento.???ps ?I hauled the boat from Vancouver, WA ? ?It was very dry all the way home with little snow at the time on Lassen.

Connie,
I have always treasured your posts, don't ever leave us. I'll take your advise (again) and add another anchor to my M17.

Hi Bones,
Thanks for the kind words....
There is a very good reason why insurance companies use an anchor as a symbol of security. The more anchors you have the safer you will be.
- You have one anchor only... A motor boat catches your rode; lifts the anchor off the bottom, wraps your rode around his prop which kills his engine and now both of you are drifting towards the rocks.... Now what? Do you have another anchor readily available?
- You have run aground. Your one anchor is out. You'd like to careen the boat to get it afloat again. To do that you need a second anchor that you can run out at 90 degrees to the bow anchor, and fasten the rode to your main halyard. Then, you can careen your boat and get it into deeper water again.
- The third anchor; a heavy one with lots of rode and chain, is for sleeping soundly on the hook in a three day Nor'easter. You may only use it once every few years, but when you do need it, you'll kiss it in gratitude for its holding power.
May Santa Claus give you the present of another good anchor. You sleep much better at anchor when you have two anchors well dug in.
Merry Christmas,
Connie & Katrina
