I personally will likely end up in the SC dry lot. When that happens
depends on where I buy the boat. If I buy on SF bay, I may keep it there
for a few months of fun cruising before coming around to Santa Cruz.
I just need to find a race-worthy boat in good enough condition that my
family will also cruise and daysail it with me!
I just missed a great boat last weekend. Looking at another on Sunday.
Anyone out there ready to sell your good condition Tuna and/or trailer,
please contact me.
