    Dockhead,

    I followed your thread on buying new sails last October with interest. I have the same boat as Kenomac which is similar in size to yours. Tragically, like you, I am faced with the financial horror of buying a new set of sails. What was your final decision and how has it worked out?
    Thanks.

    We have a similar sized Oyster 53. Just so that I can plan way ahead, approx. how much does it cost for a set of sails? Furling main, staysail and genoa. Ken

    Hi Dockhead,
    Yes, if you could help me with YM editors that would be great. If they have any suggestions I will be happy to change the text.
    I'll do some polishing up this weekend and send you the revised version.
    It is a true story and I even left some stuff out because nobody would believe a mouse could be THAT smart!
    BTW my son named it Valdemir after a friend of mine he wasn't too keen on, because it was such a pain in the ass!
    Thanks again.

    Hi Dockhead,
    Thanks for your kind message about my Super Mouse. It is really nice to get some positive feedback. I am hoping to make some cash writing children's stories, so that is extremely encouraging. Yes, I'll send it to the magazine you mentioned. No harm in trying!
    I was writing for a bilingual newspaper here in Brazil but rubbed some important people up the wrong way (probably no less than President Fernando Henrique Cardoso himself) with my stinging political commentaries and they "sent the boys round" to close my column!! After that I decided children's stories were much safer...
    Thanks again and seeing as you say such nice things as soon as I get the art work and text of my first book together I'll send you a copy.

    Can you help me? I realise I mis-spelt "starboard" in my username by accident. Is it possible to correct this?
    Thanks, Mike

    It sounds like we have a lot in common. We own an Oyster 53, our residence is 3300 miles away from the boat and we live on board 5-6 months per year out of Menorca, Spain.

    Cheers Dockhead, live and learn, eh? Hard lessons to learn by doing.
    The new boat is a blast and this year's cruise has been wonderful.
    Thanks from Keith.

    Dear Dockhead:
    Thank you for your contribuition to my thread about electronics. As I live in Brasil, I am subject only to Garmin old products and Raymarine costing 3 times as much as in USA. So I am looking to use Furuno or Simrad. My boat is a Trawler and I will try to have a simple, but decent set of electronics including a radar. The only issue that I have yet to figure out is about the Simrad NX40/45. I wonder if they can build up an integrated system to be used in two different command stations as you mentioned; Fly and Saloon. According to some Simrad dealers, that snap with NMEA 2000 cannot be done. Simrad does not answer my calls...Thank you again!

    What a lovely post - thank you.
    My overactive imagination was working overtime when I read Pat Henry's book. I've been in the ocean most of my life and I miss it. Your description of it being maybe more beautiful in bad weather than good made me smile.
