Thank you so much for suggesting a name for our boat! It suits her perfectly! My husband worked his fingers to the bone to get this boat lookng as beautiful as she does! I wanted you to see! Hope you like it as much as I do!

Thanks again! I cant express how perfect the name is for her!!!!

Can you tell I am excited?????

It was a great sail even though it took us 10 hours to go 12 miles!!! We got stuck in a storm!!

Gosh, what a cool boat!:-6

Looks like "Ma Jolie". What's it mean?

Love the boat too, I'm envious.

Translation is "My Pretty One".. Spot tells me its what Picasso called his mistress...

It is stunning, DG. I'm really pleased for both of you, I hope you get a lot from the sailing. I've never been on a sailboat that big - Wayfarers and 405s are far more my size. I've been blown flat a lot though - it tends to happen in small craft when the wind's changeable. You were out in a storm? I'm sure you've a lot more experience than I have, between you.

I saved the photos, I'm going to get a print made for my wall.

Hi Spot

Thanks for the picnic last week.

Let's do it again sometime:)

Here, just to show how wildly different life on the water can get, are a Wayfarer and a 405. I know where I am with one of these.

I've never tried a Moth on a foil though - that's the ultimate look-mom-no-hands sailing I know of. There's a stunning picture of it at http://www.rohanveal.com/photos/2005_euros/DSC_1124.JPG - the entire hull comes out of the water once you get a modest speed, and then you're flying. The whole boat weighs maybe 40 pounds, rigged.

I will make a deal with you. I will give you a ride in my new car, if I can go for a ride in your new boat!!
