Hi, Scott I will be in SF for the next two weeks in Pacifica (I retired from the police department there). If you get delivery, let me know if you need some assistance in launching. A fine bottle should be opened at her launching. My cell is listed below. Tom (M-15 #175) -- Thomas (Tom) Hauser EEOC Contract Investigator Post Office Box 981134 Park City, UT 84098-1134 435-640-8417 -------------- Original message from "Scott Simpson" <scott@westofone.com>: --------------

My slip is located in the middle of SF Bay on Treasure Island.an area of the bay commonly known as "The Slot." A calm day here is when winds are blowing less than 20 kts. In spring and summer months, cold afternoon winds of 30+ kts direct from the Golden Gate are the norm. Armed with foul-weather gear, two reefs and outfitted with a terribly expen$ive dodger, the M17 should sail most comfortably in this part of the bay. But as Bob (M15 #208) mentioned, there are many pleasant (calm and temperate) fringe areas of the bay to sail and moor; All easily accessible.

I have not officially named M17 #644 (I'd like to see her first), but I am leaning on "Pony Engine."

Cheers,

Scott Simpson
