HOWEVER - Bacon Sails in Annapolis carries the exact same kind (100% identical), apparently some company bought or has a line on identical ones under a new name. You could email or call Bacon and see if they would ship to you, I would guess they would. Ask for Gavin at Bacon.

Hope that helps!

Many thanks ...

It was hard. They snapped a pic of us for the last time on Herons decks today. I haven't seen it yet, they will email it to me. I bet we look sad though. We're ready to begin anew again, and we're excited about taking on the next thing, we really aren't the look back types. Heron was an awesome experience.

I will miss my beautiful Heron, and I wish her the very best with her new owners, new adventures and new horizons. Thanks girl!

If you two ever make it to Hawaii, drop me a line and will go sailing.
Regards

Nice, thanks Casey!

Ditto for here (by the time you get here I'll have another boat, no doubt)..

I actually was on the east coast (VA, MD, NY) for the July 1-21. Was going to contact you but just to busy with the kids and visitng family and just ran out of time. That and the fact it was between 95-104 F real temp every day with little wind- too hot for pleasure sailing (at least for me). We did take the kids out on the pirate ship in Annapolis-they had fun. Maybe next year, but if you two make it out this way, the boat is waiting.
Regards

Nice LL66

Casey: Sorry we couldn't connect this time around, maybe next time on one side of the earth or the other...

I hear you on the heat thing - I have been riding around in a car with no ac since last year, and I have grown to hate the sun and all it's boiling yellowness. This year has been a hot one in these parts, no doubt.

Yea, somthing definitely up with the weather. Friend in Florida used this type of a set-up. Looks like the heat wave has broken for now.
