Hi Sean, The fellow I purchased my M23 from, Larry Barkuff, has expressed interest in your M23. I will send him your E-mail address. I'm crushed to lose you from the M23 club. Good luck my friend.

Wow! I encourage people to seriously consider Sean's offering. Had I not bought my 23 last year at close to Sean's original price, I would be on the road from icy BC. Good luck to the next owner...hurry! Sent from my iPad

Winter reading
by Thomas Buzzi 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

It was really nice to find what a penny can still purchase. Namely the book by Philip Teece called "A Dream Of Islands". It cost that from Amazon, plus shipping. The book is really a keeper. Mr. Teece describes many of his experiences sailing his boat around the islands off of Vancouver. His descriptions seemed to catch the moment perfectly. I will be reading this book again. I will wait until his book "Shimmer on the Horizon" a book about that same area with insights shared by both him and his tandem boat partner. Nice way to see that part of the world. It is in hard cover only and still a bit pricy. Thanks, Larry. Fair winds, Tom B. Mont.17, #258

I bought a copy of "Dream of Islands " as well. I'll be reading it in the Keys while on vacation next month. I wanted to look at the ocean while absorbing it.

Bottom paint removal
by Thomas Buzzi 09 Feb '15

09 Feb '15

FYI, There is a paint remover on the market called "Citristrip Stripping Gel". It is low order, does smell faintly of oranges and removes bottom paint right down to the gelcoat without damaging the gelcoat. A 1/16 inch coating (one brush swipe) of the stuff and allowing it to set for about 30-45 minutes turns the bottom paint into soft butter which can be easily scraped off with a putty knife. I have no financial contact with the maker of this except for buying a couple containers of the stuff. It works! Spring is coming, Tom B. Mont.17 #258

M17 Hatch sizes for solar panel
by Bill Wickett 06 Feb '15

06 Feb '15

Makin' Time is under the winter tarp, with a snow topping to boot, so not accessible Can anyone provide the hatch covers sizes for the companionway and forward hatches? Boat is a 2003 model, built by Bob Eeg. I am looking at mounting a flexible solar panel on one or the other. Probably the forward one, less shadow from the boom or sail. Thanks if you can provide this info, or any experience you have had with mounting or using solar panels. Bill
