Plans for the future

from Dave

We had planned to take Fiddler to Europe next year, but have decided instead to stay in the Maine area and take Kathy's mother, Star with us. Star has been an excellent sailing companion and crew member in the past and we look forward to showing her some of the sights in the Maine islands.

We have also got our eyes on a number of improvements to the ship and her rigging over the winter: having lazyjacks installed to make sail handling easier, a new mainsail, adding floatation to the dink so that it can carry my big butt without danger of dumping me in some harbot some dark night, maybe a kerosene stove if we can find one and finally a thirty pound stock or fisherman anchor (the kind you see on tatoos).

I wonder if Kathy would let me buy us a deck gun...
