Potterers,

OK, I was a little unduly harsh about the little 2 HP Honda
4 stroke. Yesterday, 2 of us started paddling out into 15 -25
mph headwinds, and while it was doable, it was not fun. We came
back and got the motor and it pushed us right out, even though it
is still broken (have to leave the choke all the way out to get
it to run).

Also, as many pointed out, in the sailing session that prompted
my complaints, we were way overpowered and should have been
reefed. Yesterday in 15-25 mph winds, I found the overall
arrangement of hardware to be just fine (and we should have been
reefed then as well). Also, we are started to learn better
seating arrangements, etc.

I did not want to leave unwarranted complaints outstanding.
We had a fantastic time sailing this weekend. Dennis come back!
