Hi everyone,

I've been lurking here for years. Well we are finally owners of a great WS 32 Mithrandir. Purchased from a great guy Dan and wife Kate from Laconner Wa. Today was our first trip out since purchase. Pretty great day. Had enough of a breeze to put sails up and not to much so that I was able to get it back in slip without to much trouble. I look forward to getting to know you guys and gals. And also have tons of stuff to learn. We have been dreaming of this most of our adult lives. Now that the family is grown and off with there own lives it's time for us. And we plan to make the most of it. We still have the dream of cruising, now we need to get on a crash course to learn the skills and gain the confidence to actually do it. Plus spend a bunch more money. The clock is ticking. One thing I've learned in life is the journey and anticipation is better than the destination so we will enjoy it even if our dreams change.

Also congrats to the other new owners.

Jim
