Gord,

We went to Next Day Blinds and ordered honeycombed blinds with the 
dimensions of the to main cabin ports (one blind for each side). It kinda 
looks like a NYC apartment, but I like the fact that, while underway, you 
can retract the blinds fully and don't even know they are there.

Ha! Curtains....

I remember when I bought SURPRISE I was smarting over the loss of my wooden
Folkboat...  The new boat had everything I thought I'd never lower myself
too...  Roller furling on the headsail, aluminium mast, glass hull, inboard
engine, life lines, standing headroom, a wheel, a proper head, then, I saw
the curtains.  I couldn't stand that, they were just too much, so removed
them.

Now that I've become resigned to the comforts I enjoy, I wish I'd kept at
least the tracks...

Ah - what pride will do to a fellow...

Gord #426 Surprise

PS - I think I've written about this already, but here it is again... The
first time we spent the weekend in the Alberg 30, I awoke early in the
morning.  Our two sons were sleeping up forward, Caroline was in her bunk
and I was in mine to starboard.  I could hear rain on the deck.  C was awake
so I started complaining to her.  I didn't like all the empty space above
me, I missed the smell of linseed oil, I missed the sound of wavelets on the
old boat's lapstrake planking... Then she interrupted me saying 'run your
hand over your sleeping bag',  I said 'why?'  She said 'it's raining, and
we're dry'.   I had no answer for that...
