End of this season

As I prepare to haul my DS II in another week and a half, I begin to reflect on what a sweet little boat I have found. I purchased this boat in June of this year, It is the 5th sailboat I have owned. My first was an O'Day mariner over 30 years ago, then a 22 foot westerly followed by a Cal 2-29. After 10 years away from sailing I found an Omega 14 to get me back on the water. While the Omega was a fun and sporty boat I never felt the attachment to it that I felt with my other boats. Then I found the Daysailor. Comfortable with the reputation of O'Day I had no idea how fond I would grow of this little 17 footer. Thanks to this website and the people on it, my learning curve on the history, maintenace and possibilities of this boat have made me love her more every time I take her out.
I will have a few more chances at fall sailing before I have to take her off her mooring on a small city lake near home, Maybe a few trailer trips to other nearby lakes before the snow starts to fall and the lakes go from liquid to solids. I have plans for a few modifications over the winter and I am already looking forward to a mid April launch.
Thank you to all who responded to my rookie questions this season and for all who posted questions and subjects that helped my understand and enjoy my latest love.
Fair breeze and following seas to all !
