Two and a half more months and the ice will be off the lakes. I've got my 16' all ready to go. Six months is to long to go without sailing. Just thought I would (censored).

Why not hop on an jet and fly down to Ft. Lauderdale,Fl for the Midwinters East.Perhaps crew on someone boat?Everywhere I go sailing there are friendly catamaran sailors that would enjoy showing off their boat and sharing the catamaran experience with other like minded sailor.Surely their someone in this cyberspace that will help out.... :lol:
This could be the start of a new program to help out snowed in catamaran sailors get their fix during those long winter months. :P
Good luck and send pictures...Bill 404 21SE

Florida? Forget that, just come to Rhode Island, I'm taking the Tiger out next weekend! Compared to most of Canada, RI will feel like FL !!

I would've put a .45 in my mouth and squeezed one off by now if it weren't for two trips to Florida and a third coming later this week.

This winter has been flat out brutal.

If we are lucky in NB, we might be able to go by early May. If I was nuts, I guess I could go in the Bay of Fundy now in the frigid waters.
