That's for sure!    (See above ^^^ )

Been there, did that, not something I'd want to repeat!  
Did everything come out ok?  I was lucky, only tweaked the stem 
plate and had it welded.  It could have been worse, I sure.

Saskatoon Reservoir???  
 JW> because for some reason the water is warmer in the summer.  
Funny thing about that!  :)  
 JW> I have only one question for you what Yacht club or some thing
 JW> like that do you belong to?
Not a member yet (But my daughter's a junior member) of the 
Sequim Bay Yacht Club.  
 JW> Power gives way to Sail. (think about that)
No need to!  I've seen the politics between the power and sailing 
fleets.  The racng sailors tend to be the most active in getting 
eventsgoing, including the cruising.  Of course, the cruises 
turn into unofficial races!  
Right now, we're trying to arrange sponsors to help enlarge the 
local dinghy fleet and get new sailors trained.  It would be nice 
if something similar could be started with power boating and 
even row boating, but the sail racers have the drive to have 
gotten there program into the breeze, so to say!   
Stay dry, and sail fast, my friend...
