Hoop, I live on Guemes Is. I would be glad to give you a ride on a 25 sometime if you like. I had a 22 but got 3 footitis.

David, Thanks for the offer! I know about 2 footitis at least; after the sailboat, I had a 15 foot power boat for 5 years before upgrading to the 17 footer. This time I thought I might take a bigger jump ... as big a jump as I can afford, consistent with my ability to afford the ongoing and recurring costs of boat ownership, that is.

We'll be up on San Juan Island beginning in the mid-June timeframe, and depending on how my commitments are going during the summer, I might stop by for a rendezvous (Bellingham?) or give you a shout to take you up on your offer.

Dan, I think I see a little tongue-in-cheek. Perhaps its better to say that in relatively mild winds and seas, riding with the waves can be comfortable. I've got a little sea-anchor myself, though used as a drift-fishing anchor. I don't think I would even want to venture out in my current boat on days when a sea-anchor is required!
