Kaimusailing

While we are beginning to ready the Hobie cat to put it up for sale, and also sail it in the meantime, another opportunity has arisen. An aluminum mast became available on Craig's List, so a trip is planned to inspect it. If it's purchased, the most sensible transport is to take Kaimu down to Herring Bay, where she visited in 2003 prior to coming up to Annapolis and then up to the Bodkin. It is about a 30 mile trip, one way and will probably be at least one overnight.

Kaptain Kris and Cornelia Marie left in his ketch with Phil's little sloop in tow. Their destination is a mooring on the South River where Capn Phil will keep his sloop. The game of musical chairs at the docks will continue as the docks are full with the additions of Kris' Trawler and Cornelia Marie's ketch, and next month Capn Neal will return from the his winter sojourn in the South and demand his slip.
