Hi Doug.
Good to hear that you are still with the boat, even though it is on the hard.
Finlandia is currently in St. Marys, GA. Just moved her up there a couple of weeks ago. She and I spent the winter in Titusville, FL. I will be heading back down there in a couple of weeks to move her further north and should be back at Point Marina at Whortonsville by next month. Let's get together and go sailing!

Sail that boat down here to Myrtle Beach
