Thanks, Rod, for your comments, and I will definitely keep everyone posted on Waltzing Matilda's progress. After reading your posting "Understanding" on 1/6/07, I told my son that because he and his wife have so much time off in the summers, they are both elementary teachers, that in a year or two we should all, meaning the two of them, their three children ages 10, 12, and 13, their Labrador, and of course me, hitch Matilda to his Expedition, and head off for the state of Washington to see the Orcas, and also visit Sam Devlin's Boat Works (devlinboat.com) while we are there. Not sure which of the two, the Orcas or Devlin Boat Works, ranks the highest on my wish list, but they are both right at the top. Also, it was "funny" that you should mention the Nimble 24 because last fall there was one for sale down in central Florida that I briefly condidered buying, or at least going to have a look at since the owner was only asking about $8,000.00, but after giving it some thought, I decided the 20 would be more than enough boat for me. Maybe after I win the lottery, or strike oil, or marry a wealthy young (50 or younger is "young" to me now)widow, I will get a somewhat larger boat like say a 30' Devlin Black Crown. Jim Bailey
