The forum occasionally sends me notices of new postings on topics I have contributed to. But when I click on the link in the notice, it goes to a topic that we haven't discussed in a couple of years. I'm concerned that the forum is beginning to resemble me: Prone to retelling old stories, as if anyone hasn't heard them before.
Vaguely related to that issue is news that "Blue Moon" is for sale. I'm asking $3050 on craigslist (https://eugene.craigslist.org/boa/d/oday-day-sailer/6435614592.html), which is a lot for a generic DS II. But Blue Moon is not a generic DS II, and in fact on Saturday, I will be sailing with prospective buyers. I have strongly urged them to visit the forum, particularly since the "service record" of the boat is documented here. If they (or anyone else) takes the boat, I hope they will be welcomed here with the enthusiasm and advice that has been such an important part of our sailing experience the past 10 years.
Assuming Blue Moon eventually finds a new skipper, I will be found over on the Precision forum at trailersailer.com, asking all the same questions again about the new boat.
