Jay,

Not retired just plain tired. I work full time and travel some with business across the US. I'm spend several hours a night out in the shop, it's in the backyard. The work so far has been two week-end of actual work, a handfull of nights, and several months of planning.

Jake - I plan to carry of couple of small hand held pony tanks in case of pitch pole, like the firemen use. Still trying to figure how to right a tri. Hans Giesler use to say if you don't flip once in awhile your not sailing hard enough.
