T. Glad you are feeling better! That was worse than my last venture with the 17! (Though my lovely crew sold all her gear and moved away. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />) Pete steered me over to John's report. Maybe I read that one after coming home from the watering hole...In any case I didn't remember it. Sorry you had such a bad time, and very glad you and the boat are on the mend!
