Well that last post was supposed to go to Roger Jones' private mailbox, but the sentiments are worth sharing with all of you and so now may I extend the same Holiday wishes to all of my friends on the Cal List. The many of you that I know and consider friends from our faceless medium, and those of you that I've had the privilege to meet and enjoy in person. Don't pass through Santa Barbara without looking me up! David Wilkie Owen Cal 2-29 "Mariposa" Santa Barbara, CA http://www.mariposasailing.com

Seasons Greetings to all Cal Boaters, Having owned Cal Crusing 46, Satori, hull #3 since March 1982, lived aboard since May 1988, cruised from Long Beach, CA, 2 years in Mexico, Costa Rico & Panama, then through the canal, sailed non stop to Mobile,AL,400 miles up the Tenn Tom, back down, Bahamas, back to Bayou Chico to replace fuel tanks, then three years in the Caribbean and north side of South America, back to Bayou Chico, Cuba in 1998, Bahamas in the winter of 2001, summer up the ICW to Chesapeake, then back to the bayou, where we still live aboard at our dock behind our house. We only stay in the house when we haul out. We are full time care givers for Bobbie's Mom, who lives in our house, so our cruising plans are temporarily on hold. After 17 years of living aboard our Cal 46, we are as happy as we were the first day. Almost everyone exclaims about how well laid out and comfortable our boat is. While the profile is somewhat different, with a pilot house and cockpit forward and large deck aft, it has been perfect for our use. I am 6'3" tall and have standing headroom everywhere down below, including the walk around engine room. We carry a 12' aluminum skiff, with 15HP outboard on the aft deck, using the aft anchor windlass and boom to lift in on and off. Our engine room houses our Perkins 4-236, 90 HP diesel, Yanmar 5KW genset, 20GPH watermaker, 50 gallon fuel,day tank, (2- 175 gallon fuel tanks are forward under the wheel house, this gives us over 2,000 mile range under power as we average 1.1 gallon per hour at 1550 RPM's at 6.2 knots, clean bottom,calm seas) I have a stainless steel covered work bench with a vise in the engine room. While cruising I carry my fuel injector tester and rebuild/calibrate other cruisers fuel injectors, when those services are not available locally. I could go on and on, but will gladly reply to any questions about the Cal Cruising 46 of which less than twenty were built. Satori and Jack'a Hearts, Richard and Charlie Birge's Cal 46 are neighbors on Bayou Chico, so if anyone is really interested in Bill Lapworth's Merrydown, go after it as I have already told several people who have been pestering me about buying Satori. We were married aboard Satori off Long Beach May 15, 1982, are still happily living aboard which we intend to untill its time to slip over the side in a shroud.
