Gosh with the number of "members" here on the Chesapeake we should have a
meeting some time. Maybe someplace like Solomons or someplace in that
middle ground.
This is also a new boat for me, but I have sailed the central Chesapeake Bay
for 30+ years. The Cat seems like a grand step up from my little 22
Seafarer. I do some modest solo sailing. Single handed sailing is all
about pre planning. Of course the roller furler helps in this area. You
don't want to make wasted trips forward or below, so carefully plan your
moves. And when I sail alone, I always wear a PFD. I have one of those
expensive self inflating ones.

Hey Ray. Good talking to you. So you were soloing that night? I've never
tried that, even in daylight. Probably won't until I get an autopilot. I'd
like to think one is in my future, but not this year. Anyway, thanks for
stopping by. We'll have to do a raft-up sometime.

Jeff,
After I talked to you on your anchor watch I had to chug along slowly
and kept my fingers crossed, and my eyes after awhile, on my way up the
creek. Great night for sailing. I didn't want to go in then but my wife had
already called me twice to see where I was. I didn't want to get into that
third time thing so in I went.
Good talking to ya!
