I don't know who put everyone up to it, but about a week ago the birthday cards started arriving, all with pictures of their boats, and thanking me for my help over the past 40 or so years I have been dealing with the Westsail boats.
So far, 15 cards, 10 emails, and some phone calls, and no one will tell me who spilled the beans and got you owners, and one past owner, to send me a greeting. I even threatened one owner to cut him off if he didn't tell, however when he said he was looking for a new engine for his Westsail, I quickly changed my mind. Greed, you know.
I just guess you won't let me retire and go gracefully into the sunset on the wings of a Westsail, so I will continue answering, packing, shipping, going to rendezvous, hobbling around overseeing engine installations and doing surveys.
Thanks to all of you, the 800 or so that I have on my Westsail owners liist. Still looking for the other 300 or so, out of the 1100 boats built by Westsail.
