Finishing up on day 2. The weather cooperated, we worked out many equipment and technical details with Dick, visited all the vendor booths, paying particular attention to the Pusser’s station (awesome Painkillers!) The folks at Sailrite got a piece of the action too; we bought one of their sewing machines so I can make the cockpit cushions; we want to design our own.

Dick and Russ discuss options
To be honest, a year ago we thought that visit here was to be our last for a while. Had our sights set on another boat, and Maine Cat wasn’t at the show anyway. But the ebb and tide of life works in wondrous ways and it didn’t hurt that Russ had been keeping an eye on available Maine Cats.
Here, we meet Dick Vermeulen owner of Maine Cat and become re-acquainted with a Maine Cat. This one at the show is Hull #20; ours is #21.
