Hey Luke,

I've been sailing WAY less since we had the baby. And especially, we sail Macha less since living aboard her.

Quick digression: I fear we have fallen victim to the "diaper pail syndrome" which is almost as bad as the "concrete buddha and/or tomato/basil planter syndrome". Basically, it's really easy to let your lean mean sailing machine become a "floating home" if you don't stay disciplined about it... On the plus side, I get a shitload of small boat projects done because it's so easy to notice things and spend 20 minutes working when I'm always around the boat...

But feel free to drop me a line at aroostifer at yahoo dot com.

We daysail on a little Santana 22 that would be good to learn on, and sail a fair amount on friend's boats.

We're in Alameda.

Cheers,

- Ari
