Urbanna Town Marina is great!!!
Thanks to Diane and Don of Urbanna Town marina. Yesterday, a local went to visit Po ... he then called me and mentionned that 2 hatches were opened (thanks Parker)... I tried to call Scott C at the boatyard and could not reach him ... I just sent an email to Diane saying help last night ... This morning, I got an email back saying that Don went to the boatyard and closed the hatches ...
Diane and Don have nothing to do with the boatyard and it is not there responsibility; but as a friend to another, they just went and did it ... Great people and many many thanks; very grateful to you
No real assessment oof the damage details if any except for a wet cushion ...
To all, Urbanna Town Marina, is one of the great place to stop !!! The people are incredible !!!

> Hi Jean,> Just wanted to say I really love your boat, thanks for making all the great photos available to view. I'm looking for a Westsail but I'm on the wrong coast! I noticed you dropped your price a lot, may I ask why? I had hoped to buy one here on Vancouver Island and spend some time cruising here before venturing further away but your boat makes it tempting to start on the other side. Bill

From Karl... Bon Vent
Hello Gang,
Made the trip from Great Kills to Cape May in 27 hours this time, 50% under "pure sail". Lots of wind from the beam and quarter. Could not get Peter the Dancer to steer properly. He simply could not deal with the gusts. Most probably my fault for not adjusting a proper lee helm.
So I turned the helm over to Magnet. Good old Magnet, what a woman, she never bitches and moans!
Plan on heading up the bay to Greenwich tomorrow. West wind, 10-15, gusting 25 forecast. Hope I can lay the course.
Hey T-Bob, thanks for the info of cheap tie-up in Urbanna. But I'm slated to head south to Florida this year, the VA hospital in Madeira Beach. Need dentures & some kind a new "pig heart".
Take care of yourselves!
Your friend,
The Rabbit

Sarah and Garth update ... Reedville, VA for now
Jean-
Garth and I met a family from New Zealand while we were in Reedville. They were living aboard a 56 foot boat with their two kids. We sailed with them on their boat to New York and helped them do some work. While there, we met a guy named David who owned one of the boats they did work on. David had a 8000$ apartment in Lower Manhattan, so he gave it to Garth and I for three weeks while he was on vacation with his family aboard his own boat. After the three weeks in New York, we visited Garth's sister in Boston. Then we came back to reedville to get our boat, planning on sailing south. But our engine needs work and we don't have the money for it. So we've had to put our boat up for sale and undertake a new project. Hope everything is well with you.

Bonjour Jean,il y a longtemps que je n'ai pas eu de tes nouvelles.Je suis a Grenade a Prickley Bay.Je me deplace de temps a autre dans les baies du sud de Grenade.En fait pour la période cyclonique nous allons rester dans ces environs.Il est probable toutefois que nous allions vers Trinidad vers la fin de septembre.Vers novembre nous allons remonter l'arc Antillais car il y a beaucoup d'illes que nous avons visités trop rapidement.Brigitte est parti hier pour 3 semaines a Montreal.
Au plaisir
Robert de Chenou
J' ai passé les 5 derniers mois sur la baie et naturellement je suis de retour a Mtl pour famille, amis et travail ...
Tu peux avoir a peu pres tous les détails sur le blog http://pochang1.blogspot.com/ ou facebook http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=521462502 ... Des photos des derniers mois sont aussi affichés sur http://pochangdepelteau.photoshop.com
Les projets futurs; travail 6-8 mois (rien de signé encore mais ca semble positif ...) et ensuite retour sur le Westsail ou en Asie sur un autre bateau ou ... tout cela a suivre et confirmer
Des photos de vos aventures ?
A+
Jean

Montréal ...


De retour ... Je cherche mes repères sur terre. Le premier matin, je cherchais les cloisons de Po afin de me retenir, le petit mouvement de l'eau, les espaces fournis par l'eau ... Bizarre et un choc tous les bruits de la ville... Bon, on y est pour plusieurs mois et faut s'y faire
2 belles journées sur la rue St Denis avec Ray, Ja et Mme Mo. Plein d'histoires, des bouffes, des petits travaux, des déplacements, des rires avec un grand ami; comme toujours, c'est comme si on s'est vu la journée d'avant.
Coté travail; complété une offre de service avec Michel B.; rencontre la semaine prochaine et décision dans les jours suivants; mandat le fun si accepté. Rencontre prévue mercredi pour un poste en sécurité ... et une deuxième demande pour Québec pour un projet de 4 mois; la première est une référence de Yves R. mais sans nouvelle depuis 2 semaines ... Mathieu L continue ces recherches ... En résumé, 4 projets en cours; lequel et quand ... A suivre
Je vais voir fiston ce matin ... j'ai hate; cette aprème coupe de cheveux. (et on ramasse des habits de travail)
Demain, probablement Morin Heights et je dois confirmer a Khouz de venir me chercher dimanche pour une couple de jours (on va examiner quelle valeur Po devrait afficher, ou le publiciser, le texte, partie de hockey, blabla, etc.) ... Retour Mardi soir afin de pouvoir rencontrer une firme mercredi 10 AM (Contact de Mathieu)...
Toujours en squatting, pas décidé encore comment et ou je m'installe ... Ray (temporaire présentement) Suzanne ( a déterminer mais trop loin de Montréal), Sonia ( moins loins mais loin ... beaucoup de temps de voyagement) ... La meilleure solution semble etre Mathieu (chambre, metro, 5 minutes de Mtl. et Ray, etc. )...
Est ce que Po, l'eau , les grands espaces, le vent, les nuages, mes ami(e)s de la VA, etc. me manquent ? Mais très certainement !!!
Back in Montreal, looking for my references on land ... Very happy to be here and at the same time Po, the water, the open spaces, the wind, the clouds, friends in VA, etc. I miss dearly ... PS. JM, still awaiting confirmation of delete of data ...
