Hello Rann; How goes it? Are you palnning another trip down to Etak? I just bought another Trimaran. A Piver 41AA that is in great shape overall. I am looking forward to sailing her. Hope all is well and to see you soon.

Rann,
Really, glad that my post have been usefull to you. I sure wish I had been told this stuff from the get go! (rather than have to figure it all out) I do however owe John Marples an awfly lot, for his help over the years.
I have a head full of all of this information, and my fellow Searunners is all that can use it. I just feel like I've been blessed, & it's good to give back.
Truth is, that during my last two projects (18 years of work), for most of that time, I subscribed to from 18 to 20 magazines or trade publications / month, read dozens of books, and spent several thousand $ on phone calls to guys who could answer my questions. (sometimes experts in other countries) As totally nuts as this sounds, the reading was trerapy, to stay "stoked" in my project, and the money & time spent on preventing doing something stupid... AGAIN, was money well spent. A lot of my setbacks were just BAD LUCK, but here's hoping that this information can improve others luck?

Sounds Great Rann, Let me know how the rigging job works out. This weekend was supposed to be a fun one anchoring out... but my CB down line, aft control block, "blew up", (3rd one), and now I am trying to figure a way to replace this "submerssed" cheek block, in an area with only flukey wind driven tides, and without prematurely hauling out the boat. Fun, fun, fun.
I am an East coaster, but have wondered if the Sea of Cortez is a good area to retire to? I understand that there is a community of Gringos, on old Brown & Cross "woodies" down there. I loved Isla Mujeris! Is the living cheep, safe, & fun?
Thanks, Mark
