The only thing I like about winter coming!

Well I will have to blog about our new addition. We started to look for a sailboat that would be more practical for Amy's and I family. With a craiglist search and some stiff negotiations we found a beautiful 25' ODay sailboat. She is a 1982 vessel that was bought by a true northern sailor. The original owner sailed her for years on Lake Superior's Apostle islands. This boat has been housed all winter inside every year. She is great, and Amy is so excited that she would not wait to get her ready for winterizing. We will be looking forward to next years sailing season and teaching the kids the joys of the outdoors (I.e. no Dora the explorer, Barbie movies, or Mickey Mouse club house!)

Please Leave a message, we are looking to name our new boat. All suggestions welcome. (She has never been named)
