Wandercat -I live in Rowlett TX and sail cats mostly at Lake Lavon and mono slug on Ray Hubbard. If you get a chance, you might look around for a cat outside Corpus. The US military has studied corrosion extensively and the conditions in Corpus are as bad as it gets. The warm wind driven saltly air is really hard on metal. There have been studies suggesting that just 10 miles inland is far better. The navy is slowly moving their air bases inland. If you do look at boats down there, look at the metal carefully to be sure you are buying a boat and not a battery! I wish I could find a job down there, I'd be right behind you!



On an unrelated note, I think all the F18 and F18HT conversations are happening on their own bulletin boards. This board is remarkably flat.
