1998X, its 73 degrees in Channel Islands harbor, California. No sailing though. A santa Ana wind is brewing going up to 40 mph! Oh, I am the holder of the 50,00 and 100,000 posts on this forum!!!!!

Re: Roll Call!
How timely. I bought Blue Maple last year at the Toronto Boat show. This year's show starts this weekend. I may go (just to browse of course
) I had the boat moored in my driveway. Mostly launched it from Lakeview Promenade launch ramp, Port Credit for daysails in Lake Ontario in spring and fall (about 40min drive). In the summer we launched it at Penatang (about a 2hr drive) on Georgian bay for several 2-4 night cruises anchoring mainly around the Beausoleil Island area. We also sailed around Killbear provincial Park for a few days and even had it out on Lake Joseph in Muskoka. Trailer sailing seems to suit us since we're on our holidays in July and August. This year we will continue to explore Geogian Bay but I'd like to try the 1000 Islands and if I feel confident enough maybe the North Channel.

Re: Roll Call!
Steve,
You are also the person who informed me of the best tip I have ever had on this board; backing my M into it's slip while I stand on the other side of the pedestal.
Just drive it like a car.
It has made life soooooo much easier.
Dreamer,
It sounds like you are really making use out of that trailerable boat of yours
