'Evening Light' - New Captain

[Leo MacDonald CD33]

Well, the deed has been done - literally.

Saturday last, Mike Berman, after considerable pressure from all the forces I could bring to bear, sold 'Evening Light', 1981 CD33 SLOOP #38, to Ruth Ann & me!! )

I am no longed boatless (or is that CD-less?) AND, as Capt. Stump says, "I am now on ‘half-pay’" (vice 'no-pay.')

Mike and I spent most of Saturday (ultimately in the rain) completing the frame and installing the boat cover. (A nice arrangement with 3 canvas pieces, 2" PVC 'backbone' and 3/4" PVC frame ribs and stantions.) Then, sitting in the relative 'warmth' of the cabin, signed/exchanged papers, etc. - a pleasant, exciting and relaxed time for both of us.

The next major step is the spring delivery with Mike agreeing to crew for the ‘new’ Captain. Look for us on the high seas between Cape May and 'The Race' toward mid to late April

Fair Winds All,
Leo

Leo,
Congratulations! May fair winds accompany you on all the voyages you embark upon. May kalidoscopic sunsets linger endlessly on your horizons. I'll be lookin' for Evening Light on LI Sound come the warmer weather in 2002.

Fleet Captain Leo MacDonald,

Congrates, on your purchase. You had us worried, I mean a fleet Captain without a boat, needless to say without a CD.

Good luck with Evening Light !!!!!!!!

A new entry for thr 2002 CD Cup Race.

Have you no conscience Sir? Begging a position as temporary crew aboard a "competitor" is truly suspect. I would wonder if the Captain would have you thrown in irons for the entire trip, or at least, lock up all documents pertaining to said vessel and her sail trim, armaments and ships stores! Why, I would hope he at least keeps you from access to the spirit locker!

However, if it does get you a "free" ride in what I hear is a truly remarkable vessel, more power to you! Captain Heintz, what is her PHRF anyway? ? ? I think she must be givin' the 30's a LOT of time! !

Your most humble Servant........

Leo,

What a teaser to take title to your new yacht and immediately put the winter cover on! I'm sure you are hoping that the winter will be short (as are all of us Yankees).

Fair winds and minimal snow,

Captain MacDonald,

Let me add my congradulations to this long list of esteemed Captains. May Evening Tide be the vessel that takes you and Ruth wherever you choose. I look forward to the sail back.

Congratulations to the new Captain and crew. Remember though, we don't own Cape Dory's as much as we think we might. We (as Captains and Owners) are only their custodians and care takers. Take care of them, and they will take care of the Captain and Crew. A tip of the cap to the new Captain! rbo

A glass of grog to you, sir! May the fair winds carry ye wherever you cast your eyes!

You and I will be the new CD owners next year in the CDSOA festivities. I hear all the honored long-time vessel captains MUST give way to rookies in all respects. I guess we'll be able to give them that as an excuse for being part of the "followup" brig.

Best of luck, Leo.

Congratulations and best of luck with your new ship!!! Is there a ceremony that needs to be performed by the new captain and crew before taking command? Why not remove that cover, point her south and begin your shakedown cruise now!!!
