Hi All, it was one of the rear November days here in S.E. Michigan. The temp got up to 69 degrees with a 10 to 15 knot wind coming out of the west. I went to the boat just to clean up and start packing for the winter, but I could not resist so I ended up sailing for five hours. Here is a picture of my boat amoung all the empty wells. I was also going to take pictures of all the mods I've done on the boat this year, but a fellow Markely Marina sailor came up alone side out in the middle of the lake and I ended up using all my memory taking pics of his boat. Cheers.

Man, that's way beyond lonely. That's desolate! But I'll bet it was a spectacular sail today!

That's what it was like when I pulled my boat this year, and it just didn't seem right. It seems like there should be a cold, drizzling rain on the day we pull our boats.

Damn it Dennis! (Oops! I hope that's not an unacceptable phrase) But you are making me jealous. Not only is your boat in the water when mine isn't, you have the time to go out on the lake while I'm still stuck at work with no more vacation days left. I didn't even have the sense to cough and sneeze alot at work yesterday so that I could call in sick today. Well just wait til next year I'll get even then.

Hi Larry, yep, it was a great day. This coming Sunday is supost to be a good day if you want to go out. I know I'm going. Might be my last opertunity. Also, I have a great book on sailboat wiring and will put it in my car so the next time I see you, you can have it. You're also welcome to check out how my boat is wired(AC).. Cheers.

Hi J, it is Markley Marina on the Clinton river, right at the southeast end of Selferage Airforce base. Cheers.

Dennis,

Looking forward to seeing the pictures of the Mods. I am one of the lucky ones who can sail year round, and hope i can do so.
