Nice Jan/Feb issue of Small Craft Advisor (http://www.smallcraftadvisor.com/). Our very own ex-Arielite, Mr. Frank Durant, found his way into the mag a few of times: a letter to the editor, an article of a Montgomery owners group trip out to the Chesapeake last year (he joined them with his SunCat), and even a picture of him sailing off in his SunCat - "Hot Tub". Now he's writing us forum messages from the Bahamas! The man puts his money where his mouth is when he says "just do it" - go Frank!

However... I saw no mention, anywhere, that he had previously owned an Ariel! Eh hem! :mad:

A good read anyway

Of course you picked up a copy with a Melonseed on the cover. Yours is blue though, isn't it?

She's black. Pirate black. Black like my heart. The demon seed.

Sorry. Haven't sailed in 4 months. I am not well.
