Very well stated points of view, with an undercurrent of a true love for the sail, the only hint of regret on my part would be the knowledge that our Chryslers are indeed long in the tooth as are many of us.

Well done. I believe there are more than a few Chryslers still on Lake Michigan.

In a sea of old folks........ I love it, and give it an A+ (nice pics too)! You are definitely not an oldster though, I would even say just shy of a 'tweener', being in your thirties. I may be prejudiced, but people who enjoy sailing are a little different from the average boater... and people who enjoy and maintain Chrysler's are cream of the crop in my book!

Sailing calls for a deeper awareness of man, nature and machine (not many waxing waverunner enthusiasts). For me at least that brings a deeper draw to the activity. Not that sailors don't like a nice buzzabout on a waverunner once in a while(some at least, LOL) , or a quick zoom across a beautiful inland lake pulling a skier (some at least, LOL) or even a sultry late afternoon in a bass boat, waiting for big bubba daddy to grab that froggie, (some at least, LOL), but it's different.... and it does!

But I wander...Nice job, and thanks!
