I remember that story Jon, about your Maine winter cruise
It was the best article I've ever read in a cruising mag, and especially poignant and beautifully photographed. The part about the ladder brought a tear to my eye.
OTOH I still think you are one crazy bastard for sailing in single-digit temps (and teens) and especially without benefit of enclosed cockpit.
