Welcome Once Again
This might be a new occasion to welcome people to the Mistral blog. By the time most of you read this, the latest chapter of the Mistral saga will be featured in the Seattle Times' Northwest Weekend and scores of eager readers will be flocking to this space to hear more. We'll try not to disappoint, at least not right away.
After the Port Townsend odyssey, the Mistral crew has been laying a bit low. Things will get moving this weekend with the Blanchard regatta, a race in honor of Mistral's maker. We'll be short-handed on Saturday. If you have a modicum of experience and would like to haul a line or two, chime in at svwhim@yahoo.com. Sunday should have a full boat.
Oh, the picture above. It isn't Mistral but a cousin, the Seaborn-designed Sierra, which served as the template for the Thunderbird. That's Martin Feldman preparing to go out with Lily panting.

I happened upon the Times feature at work today, and enjoyed a visceral connection to years gone by. I'll do my best to visit the CWB one day soon and would love to take the wife on a sail some time...because it's been years!
Excellent read! Trust me, I lived it...I even smelled the paint and putty!
