Little Breeze M15

Hi, My name is Michael Mann and in 1982, I sailed the Montgomery 15, Little Breeze from CA to Hawaii. I see on the web site that she has been rescued by new owners in Hawaii and I would love to correspond with them. I am currently sailing on a container ship headed for Honolulu and would welcome the chance to make contact. Thanks for any info. Michael Mann

Hi, and a Happy New Year with lots of good sailing to all. This is off our usual topic, but since it is about the operating medium for our favorite toys, I thought it might give you all a chuckle to start the New Year in proper fashion. H_2 O: Dangerous Chemical! A student at Eagle Rock Junior High won first prize at the Greater Idaho Falls Science Fair, April 26. He was attempting to show how conditioned we have become to alarmists practicing junk science and spreading fear of everything in our environment. In his project he urged people to sign a petition demanding strict control or total elimination of the chemical "dihydrogen monoxide." And for plenty of good reasons, since: 1. it can cause excessive sweating and vomiting 2. it is a major component in acid rain 3. it can cause severe burns in its gaseous state 4. accidental inhalation can kill you 5. it contributes to erosion 6. it decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes 7. it has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients He asked 50 people if they supported a ban of the chemical. * Forty-three (43) said yes, * six (6) were undecided, * and only one (1) knew that the chemical was water. The title of his prize winning project was, "How Gullible Are We?" He feels the conclusion is obvious. ----------------------------------- Enjoy, Connie & Katrina

Some of us have 'an understanding wife'

Jim Clark on 'Comanche' He concedes that this race isn’t the ideal first race for such a big, complex machine, but: “I am married to an Australian, and I’ve seen the start of the Rolex Sydney Hobart a number of times. My good friend Neville Crichton challenged me to come down.” And then comes the clincher, the phrase yachties around the world can only dream of as they pour the family fortune into a watery hole: “MY WIFE MADE ME DO IT,” Clark insists - See more at: http://www.sailingscuttlebutt.com/2014/12/21/video-jim-clark-disusses-boats… ast-feeding-marriage/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook#sthash.0nT6JwFj .dpuf I don't sail like 'Comanche' but my wife is 157% behind us - Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Happy Everything!
