Time To Lay Her Up For The Season
It is time to put away the Cat's Pajamas for the season. It was a good season and I'm glad that I got it out on Lake Huron many times this year when I vacationed in Lexington, Michigan this summer for a week. I hope that next year will be even better.

Metro Beach Boat Show
I went to the Metropolitan Beach Boat Show yesterday. In a word, it was awful. It really indicates how bad the economy really is. For a few years now they have shortened the duration of the show, but this year, it was just awful. There was nothing there, nothing to see, nothing worth $9/adult to walk into this mess. I think I have gone to my last boat show for some time. I'm not really a serious customer anyhow as I would never buy a brand new boat, ever. It is nice to see the new offerings and so on and I was gratified to see the Com-Pac dealer there with one or two specimens, but by and large, nothing to see. How depressing.

Sailing With A Green Crew
Took my own midshipman and his uncle out for a nice sail, fortunately or unfortunately, I discovered that my SUV had a blown head gasket.

Suprise Sail
Took a couple of former coworkers out for sail. The air was light and the weather looked threatening. As the night went on, wind came up and clouds went away, all in all a good sail for a Friday night.

Training Exercises
Took my usual crew out for a sail, the midshipmen can only tolerate an hour or two at most before the crew becomes mutinous.
