Georgs, Good to hear you chime in. Where is the well-traveled Wild Wind IV at these days? What's in the near future for your powercat? --Georgs WWIV spent last winter till March in the Bahamas. stayed in Urbanna VA till the Erie Canal opened and then moved to Lake Superior. She only made a couple of trout fishing trips to Isle Royale. WWIV is now on the hard in Washburn WI. We are lucky to have a 150 ton lift. It can haul a boat 35' wide. There is a tentative plan to go back to the Bahamas next fall. I may leave the boat on Grand Bahama and foray out from there. If we go the Admiral wants to go down the East Coast again although I like the Tenn-Tom. That would make the fifth time. I have been laid up for a while with a partial knee replacement but should be able to ski in a week or so. Some day I hope to catch up with Chrysalis It would be fun to have the two boats side by side. Georgs, I expect to see you on Lake Superior next summer. Dennis Raedeke
