Congratulations on acquiring "Evening Light." What a lovely name for a fine yacht. May she take as good care of you and yours as I am sure you will of her.
Glad to know that you will
Keep on sailing,

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
PS: I cannot seem to find the mizzen step and Mike disavows any knowledge of one???
