Henk ... you are my hero. I would love to do exactly what you and Johanna have done (i.e. traveling to different sailing venues, boat in tow). The truth is, I'll probably never get to do it ... so ... I love it when you share your stories/photos with us ... THANKS!!

Wonderful. Wonderful. Wonderful. Thanks.

Hoping to do some San Juan cruising this year or next. These types of photos help to get the family on board.

When I first saw that top pic, I thought you were back in town. You've inspired me to head down to the boat tomorrow and get a couple of hours out on the water. Winds to 10 kts, seas 2 to 3 feet, temperature 70.

You guys are the Lynn and Larry Pardee of trailer sailing. You should write a "How to" book on how to trailer sail around the country (yours and mine). It could be that last little step that gets someone out on the road as well.

Happy Spring everyone! . Fair winds and following seas.

Hello Mike... hope all is well with you and yours. We're just dreaming of good old times and hope to make a lot more "history", going places with our road and float equipment in years to come

Good for you to be able to go out and enjoy the boat for a couple of hours with fair winds, temperature and blue skies.

Few, if any, can stand in the shadow of Lynn and Larry Pardee who are our all time heroes and rightly so. It is that we just happen to appreciate the unending versatility, design and engineering of our trailer-able boats on the water as well on land. Our petit pocket cruisers have tremendous potential in every aspect including being easy on the pocket book.

It is a pleasure to share "planning for extended cruising), http://www.catalina-capri-25s.org/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=24592 on this forums "Cruising Forum". We hope it encourages people to explore, travel and sail many different settings, areas and waters on this wonderful continent. The sky is the limit
