Re: [bolger] Mid Atlantic Small Craft Fest
Hi COD, Must have missed each other in the crowd and the heat. Lily is
still resting under the car port and bird droppings. I'm going to try to
build a motor mount in my pygmy wherry for the minnkota and a couple of
batteries. Take it to S Carolina end of the month. I'm still fooling
with my house project but I have built a 16X32 boat shed so I can get
the junk out of the house and put down flooring.
I saw John H at the sailboat show, he didn't remember my name, but said
you had moved to Delaware. Please give my best to Kate. Clyde

missed you at the Mid Atlantic Small Craft Fest, and of course no
LILY. What's up?

Hmmm my cat loves to sit on the bow deck with the
dogs. If Sky (Alaskan malamute big and furry dog) is
in the water so is the cat... I'm in the shower and I
forget to close the door I have cat playing tangle
foot with me in the shower. If I take a bath and the
cat hears the water I know there is going to be a
splash shortly after I hear his feet coming down the
hall.
So yes you have a cat that loves the water.
As for teaching the cat to sail I don't think so
seeing how they have no thumbs and would have a hard
time pulling on any of the lines that control the
sail.
Blessings to all

Then again, in *teaching* sailing to girls in the junior classes, some of
them "get it" right away, others are a little hesitatnt, but the worst
panic cases I saw were boys.

wasn't as hard as I expected. You can lose a lot of momentum on a hard
turn. Of course, overshooting is embarrassing. (I've never hit a dock
as hard with a sailboat as I have with powerboats--wind seems easier to
control than those dang outboards!).
