> and took off without the safety pin!
If I croak off by way of airplane, it will be from a mistake like that!
I have done so many... um... bought an expensive sailboat, left the hatch
open, took it out for the first time with a coupla acquaintances who were
from CN and assured me they were experienced sailors. But I am not blaming
them. The turbulent weather sent a huge gust my way and I was screaming and
hooting, having a great time, till I noticed the passengers weren't climbing
to the high-side as I instructed. Then I found that the fat slow one had
wedged himself against my tiller, so I wasn't gonna spill no wind heading
up. So I tried to release the main sheet which should never have left my
hand. Yes, I turtled it on my first outing in that boat. I retrieved it
later and it is sitting in my yard the last two years waiting for me to
finish repairing it. I dumped about $4000 into it since then. I almost
bought the farm via hypothermia that time. It was in May, the water temp was
57-59. Asked one of them to release the mainsheet so's I could right the
boat- he cut every line he could find and I lost my main sail. :-(
I made sure the others were hauled aboard 1st- but I was in worse shape than
them younger guys. I was in for around 45 minutes.
And I have lots more sorta like. Sucks to be me sometimes.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Please allow me to introduce my new Kolb Firefly, Serenity.
No fan of Josh Whedon (like I am) needs an explanation why I HAVE to name a
Firefly "Serenity".
For those who are not SciFi fans, just know that serenity is what I feel
while in the shop working on my airplane and I am sure that will be one of
the main emotions I have when flying her.
This was a quick build kit delivered last December. I have worked pretty
much all of my spare time on her.
Today was the first time the finished airplane was assembled into one piece.
She is back in the garage tonight awaiting setup for weight and balance
procedures.
I still need to add the skid ball and calibrate the markings on the fuel
tank.
After that, it will be time for first engine start!
If the weather holds, I may be able to get a flight or two in yet this fall.
Only time will tell.
Thanks for listening (reading, what-ever, I am just excited to be to this
point)!
Stuart
