Hi!
What is that white stuff???
I looked at your pictures and the dates (I think) of when you posted them. Are you kidding??? First pictures of boat in yard with sun shining and no white stuff. Next day pictures posted and you have tracked some of that white stuff into the boat? Wow. You didn't bring your shop vac along to clean out the white stuff you tracked in. In San Diego the Sea Gulls are still dumping their detritus on my decks so I have to scrub it off before I go sailing. I did, however, hear today of a tsunami that rolled through here quite a long time ago so I will have to begin worrying about that.
Still, welcome to the fun world of C25 sailing. You'll love sailing the boat actually more than spending cash at West Marine.
Your plan of taking trips on the Great Lakes sounds fantastic. Enjoy.

Hi Gary, thank god the snow AND ice melted a few days later so I was able to suck the seven inches of water out of the bilges before it got cold again. It will be a VEEEEERY long winter. Yesterday I spent a few hours on the boat in 23 degree weather. I had a space heater in the cab and it was warm enought to work in a T-shirt. Hopefully I will have the interior scrubed and rewired by spring so I can spend some time on the freash water oceans. CHeers.

Congratulations, Dennis! Do you have Catalina Direct's C-25 Owner's Handbook? If you're just looking at their site, you're not seeing everything--the handbook is well worth the $10 even though it's mostly a catalog. You're right about the VHF--it serves one function a cell phone can't--getting help from nearby boats. I like my handheld best--it gets out several miles and is handier than the fixed unit in the cabin (with a troublesome connection to the mast-top antenna). Most of the time I'm talking at low power to a bridge operator or marina a few hundred yards away.

Welcome to a great community!
