[Public-List] New Alberg owner and member of the association

[Gordon Laco via Public-List]

Welcome aboard Tim!

I chuckled at your description of crewing aboard LinGin...  I pretend to be
irritated with crew members who graduate to owning their own boats.  I've
been known to say things like 'lost another one after all that work training
him/her up' etc.

But of course I'm very pleased when people decide they like sailing, and
yacht racing in particular, enough to take the plunge and buy their own
boats.  It's the healthiest thing that could happen to our fleet and sailing
in general.

Cheers -
