    I spoke with Adam (#50's new owner) today by cell phone. He has finally got her launched and they are currently on route to his home in the Florida Keys.He is motoring along the 'ditch'.I preferr sailing 'outside'...less stress...waves/wind are friendlier than bridges and powerboats.He reports the engine doesn't miss a beat and is good on fuel (6hp yachtwin evenrude) I'm glad....I'm always nervous selling something and hope it all works out. Hope he sends us an update.Good to see #50 on the move again.I understand 'revival' will be re-named 'Journey'...I wish him many adventures and safe journeys.

    Wow. That pretty much sold me on Awlgrip...



    The little silver cowl-vent thingy - is that a drain hole cover for the anchor locker? Aha! So that's how you do it... I've been wanting to make the anchor locker self-draining since I saw it done that way on Geoff's "Uhuru"...




    (How much commission do you make, Frank? )
