I cannot wait The bottom was not as bad as I expected after being in the water continuously for 3 years with two trips south in that time. It was time to be pulled & let dry out for a few months. No blisters thank goodness. The Insurance survey went well. Now I am in good shape for a few more years. Keep in totch When are you headed north? Fair winds & good sails Fred !!!!!! NEW !!!!!!!!
