| In 1978 I got my
first REAL sailboat. It was a 23 foot O'day. It was nominally trailerable.
As long as you had a powerful vehicle, which I did not. It severed us well
for several years. We cruised Tryst extensively thru Lake Michigan and
Lake Huron. We also learned much about the realities of living aboard. |

Tryst anchored in the Benjamin Islands In
the North Channel of Ontario. Drawing only 2'-6" allowed for some fine
secluded anchorages. |

We trailed about half a season then got a

We learned a lot about
weather and all weather sailing. |
