Tom,

Wow, does THAT sound great!

I am staying down here on the warm end where we can just slap at the 
occasional bugs rather than shoot them. 

Tim D in BC.....Kelowna, The Mediteranian of Canada.
==========================================




I hope this is not too far off topic, but my reefing discussion with Tim
inspires me to put in a plug for trailer sailing north of the U.S. border.
The Portland "Canal" I had in mind is a fjord reaching the coast near Prince
Rupert B.C. that runs almost 144 km NE to the twin border towns of Stewart
B.C./Hyder Alaska. The Canal is only a couple of kilometers wide, and
carries the meltwater of numerous big glaciers. The winds are fluky like
lake winds, but the sailing is good, and you can carry a pot or two to get
fresh Dungeness crab for dinner. The scenery is of course spectacular, and
you can kiss a Grizzly if you like. 

We took our rig on the ferry to Vancouver Island, drove north, then ferried
up part of the Inland Passage to Prince Rupert. From there it is an easy
drive through the mountains to the Canal, and you can hit some great sailing
lakes on the interior drive back to the U.S. (or north toward Alaska, if you
like). A trip you will not forget, for sure.
