But getting to really feel her is wonderful. People can tell me all day how she sails in heavy wind, but it's a lot funnier finding some wind. I just wish I lived where there was wind all the time. I will say one thing I did learn. It's a lot more work. I had things falling in the cabin. The head was taking on water. I could not just "ease" into a tack. We had to plan it and execute it. I had to watch out for the accidental jibe. I never had to worry about that before. Just a great time! I can't wait to get back at it. I bet I'm driving my wife nutz!! HAHAhA . I was going to try this weekend for an offshore. But the last winter storm moving across the country will be here on Thursday bringing 34 lows and 50 highs with soggy rain. Not much fun in that kind of sailing. I need to be patience and take it slow. The good news I got my new Standard Horizon GX2200 hooked and the DSC number put in. I need to hook it to the GPS yet! But the radio works great. I got the speed traducer put in. This weekend if the weather is bad I will install the sonar traducer for the new Garmin ECHO 50s. Life is good today. Life is good. Thanks so much for all the guys on this site for all the help. I don't know what I would have done without some of the advice that I have received. You guys are the best. Cheers, Curtis.
