Re: catalina27-talk: Happy Joshua Slocum Day!

[ahoyther]

A few years ago I ran across a guy who built a duplicate of Spray.  I think he was in Little Deer or Deer Isle in Maine.  The boat is interesting.  The difficulty I had with his boat was that he put a rather large Ford engine in it that took up an incredible amount of room below.  There wasn't a lot of room to begin with.  Anyway all hail Joshua Slocum!  He showed us the way!
