E32-3 Making do... oh, and a rendezvous (part 1)
I've begun to think that a good part of "seamanship" might is based on being able to pick the least-bad option out of a spectrum of sucky choices...

E25CB The Start; Searching for an Ericson 25 CB
I have enjoyed sailing quite a number of different boats over the years, and have been lucky enough to own four sailboats before purchasing my 1973 Ericson 25CB "Nordic Thunder". My very first sailboat was a tiny Sunflower sailboat with a single triangular sail. I spent many summers sailing...- olsenjohn
