Sorry I've moved on to a trawler, but didn't want to start a whole new channel. Very sorry about that to all you Catboat lovers out there.

Thanks Brad. I appreciate it

Mine is a 1981 Classic with a single 120hp Lehman. So far so good on our journey from Panama City FL to Rhode Island. We are about half way through Georgia at the moment As you can tell I’ve transitioned from sailing catboats to a Grand Banks. I just have’t figured out how to rename my youtube channel Thanks for your comment. I really appreciate it.

You are so welcome!

So the jib and stay sail stays don't pull it up and ruin the set of the sails. Also they are the stays helping to hold the mast up right at the proper angle.

@@sirfrydryk360 interesting. My boats had backstays to do this, but I notice in Maine people don’t use backstays often.

Hi Ed, I just realized I didn't respond to this. I wouldn't believe the chart. But that said I recommend entering and exiting between 2-3 hours before and after high tide. I did run aground because I didn't pay attention to my own advice. There is also a big rock on the left side of the channel that I discovered the hard way. The entrance should be over on the right of the channel. But other than that rock the bottom is all sand or mud and so running aground is no big deal. Give it a try! Thanks again for commenting. I really appreciate it.

I'm not sure what you mean by the "rest of the meeting". This video is the entire presentation by Halsey Herreshoff.

Cat Boat Adventures the bit before this. Tim opened with the sad passing over the bar, but followed it with welcoming Ben Delong’s new baby to the group. It would be nice to get that, and all the awards available somewhere. I assumed that was recorded as well.

Hi David, I am so sorry. I just noticed your comment. Yes it is a Marshall 22. Doing that video was one of the highlights of my life. To see the spirit and enthusiasm on my grandson's face was priceless. Now that I've set the bar high, and will have to so something for the other grandkids. Oh no!!! Thanks again for your comment. I really do appreciate it.

Thank you so much. You may want to see an updated to that video that contains some stunning areal footage of that river. It can be found at ua-cam.com/video/4O7Dsp-Iw0Q/v-deo.html Enjoy, and thank you so much for your comment. I really appreciate it.

Hi Rex. Thank you so much for your comment. I really appreciate it. And let's stay in touch. Narragansett Bay is definitely on my plan. In fact I already did a video on a Friendship Sloop out of Wickford RI. Take a look. ua-cam.com/video/64M1YqHvOMU/v-deo.html Also, not sure if you saw the video on the Padanaram Rendezvous. I have two versions on my UA-cam site. A shorter version. And the long version with the Awards Ceremony. You were mentioned in that video by Bruce Almeida. Here is the link to that video. ua-cam.com/video/0CAvbRWLKk8/v-deo.html Enjoy, Jim...

Hi again Rex. By any chance do you sail out of Wickford? I would like to keep in touch regarding doing some videos in Narragansett Bay. Also, did you just attend the CatBoat Association annual meeting this past weekend?

@@catboatadventures7208 Yes, sail out of Wickford. Missed the Mystic event this year due to a ski weekend invitation. Look me up in CBA directory and Catboat in.

You'd be surprised how many of these places you can go. Especially if you are venturing at high tide

Yeah, I discovered that by pure accident. I intentionally wanted to wait to film the Hadley Harbor area until fall to be respectful of the people who live there (who wants to have a drone fly over their house?). But I discovered that in waiting, I was delighted to see the fall colors. It was pure luck. As was the timing of my filming the Slocum River. Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!

Let's talk about doing something together this summer in Lewis Bay. There are lots of gunkholing spots in that Bay, like Roberts Cove and Pine Island. We should think about a pirate treasure hunt, or doing a video featuring a Sandpiper going on a family excursion or something. We could film it from your Whaler. Think about it. BTW, for the record, you would love a M22. We should definitely go sailing together. Many thanks for your response. It means a lot to me.
