Dear Dave Zeiger,

I was impressed by your writing style and narrative. You covered an area of boating rarely asked about. I was equally mesmerized as I learned of the peculiarities of the different sailboat models and forms for an ocean passage.

It's my thought, (or maybe just my hope?) that folks like this form a large part of our more experienced small boat shipmates. Understanding their boats and accepting the trade offs, so that time on the water yields the best of satisfying experiences. I have yet to find many of these sailors in circumstances that need of lot of outside assistance if something very unusual has not interfered with them and when found in an anchorage they are usually a welcome addition. Even the stories they present or comments on most any small boat subject is an inspiration to me to try harder to be that kind of on the water neighbor.
