Well, sure, we are just visiting in the Phoenix area, enjoying time with our daughter and son-in-law. Both teachers, there were back to work today, after their fall break... leaving us with time to wander... it's what we do.
Tomorrow is someone's birthday... someone of the Blonde persuasion. We did some "shopping around" today, which is different from shopping. Not much either of us needs, but it is nice to have plenty of looking around options. Guitar Center keeps calling my name, and Joan is an enabler. ;-) I like visiting Guitar Center.
We did get a visit in with Wild Blue, though; retrieving stuff from the boat and just generally checking on her. She is patiently waiting in covered storage. A few days or so, and we'll be back aboard, land traveling again.

Jim,
How hard is it for one person the launch and retrieve the C Dory 25 ?

Hi Bill,
Like any endeavor, it depends on experience. We launched sailboats before getting the CD-25, so this seems like a piece of cake. We generally do everything together, but I have launched the boat solo, and Joan has retrieved it by herself. It sits low on the trailer and the trailer has side bunks - makes it very manageable. Our usual way of handling the ramp duties: I back the trailer in when launching, Joan handles lines. She backs the trailer in when retrieving, I drive the boat onto the trailer. If you have enough depth at the ramp and a finger dock next to it, it is very easy to just walk the boat on/off the trailer. Hope that helps.
Best wishes,
Jim
