      Man we flew down here. Got in at 11:30 or so. We had her going. And I sailed it ALL the way down. White caps every where lots of spray coming over the bow. Blew out one of the blocks on the jib near the end of the trip. 
      Thanks for taking such good care of her. She handles great. Because of the incoming bad weather Jeff is going to take her to crisfield  on Monday. I have to work. But I have to go to crisfield tomorrow to pick out a slip and sign some paper work. If I get back in time I’ll stop by and pick up as much as I can. 
      With an out going tide we had her up to 8.88 kts over the bottom. White caps everywhere it was a wild ride. I did it all on sail and no autopilot. 

      Above is first report from new owner. Sailed from Whitehall Creek to Herrington Harbor North. About 22 knots of wind. A near knockdown, 8.88 knots SOG, 7.8 on the knotmeter. Garhauer block, apparently fractured shackle end. New owner is a happy sailor.
