la- we thought we were neophytes when we bought haereticus, but compared to this couple, we were downright experienced. everyone has to start somewhere. i bought a bigger boat than most people do in NM when i started. i wanted to skip the 5 steps where you sell to buy a bigger one several times. it's still the biggest practical boat to sail (and move and launch) in the desert. i made the right choice. he's never sailed either but plans to spend a year cruising the san juan islands and then head up to alaska!! perfeck. lots of people start that way. half or more decide to sell the boat after their first bad weather experience. but the rest become addicted cruisers. i know people who have taken macgregors to alaska from vancouver or seattle. haereticus is a much more seaworthy boat than a macgregor. the guy asked harold if he could sail the boat at night? harold said it was equipped to sail at night but he never does, cuz HE'S not equipped. the guy figured it would take him a couple days to get it back to tacoma, so he just wondered about sailing at night too. very scary. night sailing is great. remember our sail in san carlos? but tying up at the dock at night can be a damp experience. <G> then another couple looked today. whether you think so or not. right now is prime season for boat sales. keep those ads placed. more new buyers will be looking everyday throughout the spring and summer. jimmy took my advice about selling the tri. he realizes he's not going to get his refurbishing money out of it and he's lowering the price to $25,000 US. we both decided that the buyer he's looking for is going to be a neophyte, adventurer, hippie or someone looking for a cheap floating house in a beautiful neighborhood south of the border. i changed his slick, fancy website to look like a homemade page and he's placing cheap ads in places where dreamers and adventuresome risk takers hang out. i put an ad on cragislist (phoenix) for him: phoenix.craigslist.org i'd appreciate it if everyone in the bar would write this on the back of a business card and tack it up in the baño of their favorite pub or maybe on a bulletin board at the nearest university: For Sale. 41' Trimaran in San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico, $25,000.
