Wendy was asking about you just the other day ( we were in Lunenburg-in the fog again!) I used to fly a chute quite often on my other boats but never had the gear on Patiently. I slowly getting there. I think the kids would love it if we are prudent. I'll check out the web sites you mentioned. BTW the new sails and Yanmar work great so far! (knock on wood!!) We hope to go up to the Bras D'Or Lakes later this month and then continue around to PEI for a look. Have you been travelling on Chancy much this summer? What's in the works? Fair winds, David
