Hey Westy, The weather is cool and wet in Edmond, but Fall's the prettiest time of year in Oklahoma, so all is well. At least, well for those of us in the state. I'm stuck in North Dakota and freezing my rear off. It's really cold and snowy and icy up here. But, I fly home on Thursday for a few days and spend time with my family watching football, grilling and leaf raking. I hope ya'll are doing well and are ready for winter. Speaking of yawls, check out the photo below. I've decided to build her. It's a Selway Fisher design called the Evening Swan. 17.5' LOD, 23' LOA. Whaddayathink? Does she have enough sails? I'll probably get ready over the winter and start building when we get past cold weather. John
