I lived out at the Marina on my 26' Dawson Ketch for about 2 Years and Loved Every Second of it! Greetings to all of those still with boats on the water, hope to have a boat there again one day! All of these people are great people, and Sailing Is A Great Sport! It is a great past time and a terrific family activity!!!

Dave rocks!!! As do all the other wonderful sailors who I have had the pleasure of knowing. Highwire remains dry docked. Sad. Bob is in Vancouver, BC, working on the Vanoc2010 Olympics. When he gets back maybe the lake with rise. Do you think the LDS church would prey for more snow so we can get more water?
