Paul, I wanted to wish you and BOUNDLESS a productive and safe 2009. I hope the projects are proceeding with 'boundless' satisfaction and she's showing the results. Any thoughts on that first distant port?

Jack

Hey, Paul - good to hear from you! Congrats on (almost) getting that 424 active; that's good to hear. Yes, we were in Europe for the last 5 years (returned to St. Pete this Spring) so, internet access being what it was there, we had little participation on any of the boards for quite a while. As for Bermuda, you'll enjoy it greatly. One of the true 'international crossroads' for yachts from everywhere, and what a great choice of anchorages in St. Georges.

Thanks for the tip about the 424 forum; I'll have a look when I can find the time. Right now I'm enjoying (?) the pleasure of repaints my spars...or at least as much of them as I can easily get to, given they are still in the boat!

Jack

Hi Jack:

Just saw your post today. You have been absent from the boards for a while ( must have been busy).

I take it from your post that your are thinking of circling. That sounds great. Since you have already done the Med, are you coming back via Cape Hope ( and avoiding Somalia??).

I ended up purchasing that 424 (#28) that I asked you about on e-bay 2 years ago.. It is still beside the house. Plan on launching next spring, sail Lake Ontario for a few years and then depart in 2012. ( I am off at the end of next week to sail on Hull #1 to Bermuda - looking forward to it)

In case you didn't know, the 424 list is now available on a DB format ( pearson424.org ) and click on P424 Forum. Your input would sure be appreciated around there.
