I apologize to any interested parties but the boat is no longer on the market. Glenn McMullin

Sailing from Chicago to Penetang was one of the highlights of my life but I'm not sure I have stones large enough to do the continental loop. Glenn

OK let me know if I owe you commission.

Hey; Quit hijacking my thread! Start your own! Just Joking of course. Glenn

Thanks Loren. Amazing that someone would find it amusing to destroy other peoples work. Probably a Catalina owner.

I've noticed that posts through most of 2013 have disappeared. I assume there was some sort of digital storm that blew it all away? Glenn (Aquavit)
