Post by: Iceman on February 14, 2006, 05:10:18 PM

Well here we go

We have the realtor coming this weekend to help us decide whether to sell the house or rent it out and save it for an investment

We plan to take Kaikoura off the Lake this summer via the Champlain Canal (we have done this twice before)
for our maiden voyage aka test sail

Trip includes mast unstepping to do the canal, onwards to NYC then to Shark River NJ to visit family then figure out what next

Not into daysailing this year 8)

I wish you well with the "right" decision, as we never know until after the fact, sometimes. The last time I did the Champlain canal, it was in a motor yacht that cleared a bit over 17 feet, if I recall correctly. The running light staff went between the bolts in the bridges, is several cases, as the only way that we made it down through the fixed areas.

Sounds great, Iceman! When you get down past Morehead, remember to look me up! :D

Keep us posted on what happens, OK?
