Didereaux is the handle.  I sail a Cape Dory 25 (disquised at pesent as a fishing smack), mostly in and around Galveston Bay.  Mainly a solo sailor.

That's what I'm still trying to figure out!  I think I was "gang pressed" to here!

I mean I was minding my own business, working on my boat, the sun was shining, the birds were singing and all that, and then I heard a noise and suddenly, saw stars and blacked out!

When I came to, here I found myself, hungry and thirsty, unceremoniously dumped on the floor with my clothes torn and dirty and bruises from rough handing all over me.  I’m still stuck here trying to find my way out!  For some reason, the back of my head hurt!

Hello to all here. I have just registered abd posted one pic of my boat. Hope to explore more when time allows. I have owned Triska my Alberg 29 for 3 years. She is presently located in Tacoma Wa. I sail with the Lats&Atts group here in the PNW. I found your site through a post there.

Hello and Welcome, Didereaux!

Which version of the CD25 do you have? I looked for a 25D back when I was shopping, but there were none to be had. I'm glad now that I didn't find on, being perfectly happy with the Ariel, but those are some shippy little vessels. Smiley

We had some transient through the marina earlier, two couples on 2 CD's - a 30 and a 25. Of course, I had to row over in the dinghy and introduce myself when I saw them tied up on the transient dock and recognized what type of vessel they were. Smiley Older couple on the bigger boat, youngsters on the smaller one. They'd been cruising in tandem since they'd met earlier in the year, and were southbound after a summer up on the Chessy. Nice folks, nice boats.

Hi Jack!

*Very* nice boat! I'd love to see one of those in person. There was a Whidby (sp?) 30 in the marina earlier this year for a couple of months, which were also built in Canada, but are a much older Alberg design.

The man could draw some sweet lines. Grin

As for the fat man, he and I are in presently in negotiations regarding wind vanes and cabin heaters so might I just suggest tightening the cunningham and sheeting the main to windward a bit further?

Well, I guess proximity does have its rewards...

Ahh a fine vessel the Cape Dory line is. I have a good friend with a 28 called Sea Dragon.

Yep, same Adam as from L&A.... I don't think the Albin is going to work out, I was in line behind another buyer...

real bummer... he was willing to owner finance and the delivery would have involved going out past my canal markers and bringing it a few hundred yards to my dock!!!

Oh well, fingers are still crossed!
