Hi Dennis, I am so sorry to hear of your back pain :-( I can feel your pain. I have been working through back pain for a number of years. Getting old is not for the feint of heart.
Some news from me. I have moves up to a new sail boat!. I found an absolutely immaculate C&C41 named Felice Bear. You can find the boat on YouTube. I purchased her in Vancouver and brought her over to Victoria a couple weeks ago. I am getting her ready to do a little cruising in July. I have an extra C&C35 Mk2 for sale now :-) if anybody is interested it’s in Victoria BC and I have a slip with it.
