RE: New Member - New Owner of a Cheer Man PT-42 Europa - Red Gypsy

Welcome CG Dave. You have chosen to fly with the eagles and can now look down on those lesser Javex bottle boats that clutter our waterways. May the teak fairy bless you and care for your brightwork this season, and for many to come.

Dave B is right, we have a Pacific NW group (now 31 boats) but we are strictly a paper tiger, and haven't actually DONE anything yet. But we share boat names, home ports and cell phones, so it's hoped that we will arrange some informal cruising among the boats in the future.

I am happy to add you to our elite group, but warn that you will forever be an outsider, forced to sit at the back of shareholder meetings, and reduced to nibbling the dry sandwiches afterwards, because (a) you are 42', not 38', and (b) you are on the right hand edge, and we are all lefties. [Note that only Delta still treats PT-38s as handluggage. I am unclear on their policy regarding PT-42s, so getting across to visit us may be expensive.]

Safe cruising, wherever your final destination may be.
