Yes the Satori was the one written about in the book The Perfect Storm.....I am very good friends of the Capt. Of course it is a book and was not as true as one would think...... we all have to make money one way or another.

It is nice to meet you.....I have just arrived in the area and stopped here in Stuart, so we are almost neighbors. So far I like the area. Now the heat.......it is hot....any advice for a northern??? I just finished making my awning larger for the midship area and now need to work on one for the bow area. My plan was to go to the Tampa/Ft Myers area but the oil spill changed that so I think I will hang here for awhile. I am very impressed with what you folks are doing to the Westsail you have. I was on a 32 ft Westsail called Satori years ago and fell in love with her. I knew she would take care of me in most any weather.And that she did I was in her with about 65 kt winds out in the bermuda triangle. She handled it like it was nothing. Amazed me...I would go back out in her in a minute.

Good morning Lady O, if you plan on coming south for this coming weekend or any time, give me a call & I'll be happy to meet you at the club to introduce you to my sailing family.

I just watched the slideshow of your refurbishing saga. We should compare notes. I didn't think there were many folks as crazy as I! LOL! Take a look.....http://travels-of-sv-far-niente.blogspot.com/
