Hey Wally,
Good to see a bit o' clarity in your story.
When I got to the part of you beating off dogs with your pound & 1/2
collapsible dolly I thought your where talking about an inflatable Dolly !!
Good to know otherwise.
Cheers, Russ
Sweet 35 mk-1

Umm. Heck, one of the happiest Mexican cruisers I know sails a Catalina 27.
(I hesitate to mention that the Chubasco that made me pull out a spare anchor
put him on the beach, with major rudder rebuild.)
Another happy guy sails a this and another happy guy sails a that.
It's not about the boat, it's about the sailor.
And I still believe that it's about the rig. Running and standing.
I'll sh_t in a bucket before I'll compromise the rig.
Oh, golly, I'm on a rant. I think I'll sign off, and eat this tuna.
Oh, hey, I recently fought off three dogs with nothing but my little 24 ounce
collapsible dolly, which I carried for two miles to pick up a scuba tank.
That was a really funny moment in time. Charge a pack of dogs with
nothing but
24 ounces of cheap aluminum, and it's amazing how they will cower in
the presence
of a man willing to kill to make a pack of dogs sit down and shut up.
Wal
PS. Buy the boat, but don't keep it in Mazatlan.
