Well, summer is finally breaking here in Phoenix, and I am looking forward to doing some sailing in our "new" 1973 boat...never been named? We are thinking about naming her "Minnow" in quasi-tribute to the Laura Dekker's Guppy (a must watch on Netflix titled, "Maiden Voyage").

Here is a pic of our DSII from 9/1/14 at Tempe Town Lake where we did our shake-down cruise. It was blistering hot and almost no wind, but I think we are going to enjoy this boat. Plus...she fits in our garage...yippee...no more monthly storage fee. I think she will do until I get the courage to build my own i550.
