Looking for a
Toronto-area person planning to
visit the UK to bring me a hard copy
of the UK edition of KISS Your
Dinghy. I would have it
shipped to the UK address you
provide and ask you to bring it back
to me. This is my only realistic
hope of seeing a hard copy.
 Wayfarer 275 Possum Finds New Home  From: Thomas Erickson
[mailto:terickson275@gmail.com]
I have sold Possum to a lovely young couple from southern Connecticut. Tanya and Jeremy. They love wooden boats (they have Beetle Cat) and are avid kayakers as well. They read about Possum even before they knew it was for sale. They spent several hours looking and mulling on Tuesday and weren't able to decide based on the age of the boat and concerns, etc. They know Paul and Dawn Miller and after speaking with Paul and his assurance that he would help them deal with any issues they decided to buy. Picked it up today. I think they were as excited as I was 24 years ago. I couldn't have been happier to see it go to them. I bought a 21 Precision sailboat for the Cape waters. Diane and I can comfortably go out and take the kids, maybe overnight here and there. In the past 3 weeks I've sold 5 boats (Laser, 2 kayaks, 20'motorboat, and Possum). Change is good. Hope you and Julia are well.
We won't be strangers and may even come to Hermit Island next summer. Uncle Al's "baby" has
