First I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all of you for
reeducating me in are art of sailing the Potter. We purchased our Potter-15
a couple of months ago and I've been working and reading about how to
Potter. We sailed today on Lake Casitas (Just south of Santa Barabara, Ca.)
we had a few minor situations but over all a wonderful day and joy to sail
this boat. I have been itching to sail but a little bout with cancer kind
of took the wind out of my sails. Today was something I have been looking
forward to for a long time. It was difficult today as my strenght is not
what it was but the joy of sail makes up for any physical problem. In the
dark moments of treatment reading the e-mails brought me much satisfaction.
I just wanted to let you guys and gals know that even though I haven't met
any of you there is a great fondest in my heart for you. You have touched
me in your stories and I hope to become a little more active in the sailing
and sharing with all of you. Bill and Cris Licata, Potter-15 ( Li'l Tina)
