Thanks for the compliments Wally. Is this you?
I think you are the one that took one of my favorite pictures of Chiquita as Devon and I were overtaking you:
I like that picture so much that I had it imprinted on a CapitalOne credit card. I tell people I spend so much money on my boat that she has her own credit card!
I haven't taken Chiquita anywhere but Minnetonka in about 15 years. When my girls were young we used to go up to the Apostle Islands every summer for a two week vacation. The four of us ventured out to all of the islands eventually and even made a couple of trips from Duluth to Bayfield. We also made a number of trips out to Green Bay and the Door County peninsula on Lake Michigan. Our little 23 footer has about 1/4 the interior volume of your M but the pop top made her liveable.
I haven't been to Pepin for a long time either. Spent a week there with our old Venture 21 that we had before kids. It is a very nice place to sail.
I hope to make some modifications to the trailer and get a decent tow vehicle during the next year so I can start trailering again. I really, really, really want to go to the Lake Havasu get together next year.
