Cradle Ride


While, Other is excited about going to see a Cuban Jazz Band, I'm excited about this. We just bought a trailer for Handsome Jack.

Check out how cool this rig is. Because the Etchells is so long - 30+ feet - it's really awkward for towing on a conventional trailer. Solution - turn the boat around and carry stern first. That way the trailer can be reduced to a more reasonable size and you don't need a 20 foot tounge on the thing to be able to turn corners.

And those nice fibreglass boxes on the sides, they're for carrying sails, and tools, and other necessary boat stuff. Cool. Now that we're mobile, we can take Jack anywhere we want. We're "away to the races."

Maybe we can sail from Florida to Cuba to catch the band at home in Havana. On second thought... let's wait until the All Stars come back to Toronto.

Toronto to Florida - 3 days - Florida to Cuba - 3 hours - 2 days to find the All Stars and soak up some sun - find the boat - sail back ... maybe, you're right. We'll wait 'till they come back to Toronto :)
