I was going to make a smart ass comment about silly sailors from Kalispell MT, when I remembered that my boat is registered in Edmonton AB (due north of Kalispell). Damn. Anyway, I suspect that there will be a lot of complaints about poor motion and sailing qualities made as they contemplate a trawler. I'm not sure where you are headed Jon, but if you see a green Allied Seawind 31 called Kianda in your travels, row over and say hi. Friends from NB doing it in a more modest fashion... I hope you get fair winds and wish you a safe passage, David
