I live thru your travels and would love to be able to do what you have done. I dream of cruising and traveling thru the islands. Good luck with the sale and Godspeed in your travels. Weedy |

| Comments: | 40 year old woman (single), mom (18 year old getting married in May), nurse (love my current job)... Looking to begin my some of my dreams of traveling now... Going to get a motorhome-going to Alaska this summer... Not sure by RV or my Harley... Have been dreaming of sailing after going to Belize this spring... Dont know a thing about it, but seeing the clear turquoise waters and snorkeling with the sting ray... Did you know they feel like crushed velvet... I thought I would like to go sailing... Thought about getting my own boat, but maybe in a couple years... Helping out with someone elses boat is a good place to start... Love camping, backpacking, canoeing, outdoorsy stuff is right up my alley... Have not done hardly any of those things since I have been in Texas the last few years... If you are still looking for someone to help with the boat and not a bed partner, perhaps, I will be able to sail the seas with you... I want to see the Carribean, see manta rays and dolphins and beau |

| Comments: | Hey - I realize this comment may not be well-received, but could you please ask Norm to reconsider feeding rats to owls? Rats are as smart (and capable of feelings) as dogs, with lots of nerve endings and keen ability to experience pain. So it's kind of like putting your dog through something like that. Thanks for considering relaying the message! |

| Comments: | Hi Jon, Terry Laing here. I think I'm destined to buy your Islander 30. First, our Cdn.$ reached par with yours this week. Then, your boat caught my eye on Ebay. Next, I visited your website and found Nova Scotia mentioned twice. I'm taking it as a sign. Your Ebay rating is impressive, Jon, and your website gives me the impression that everything you own would be in great working condition. You are a renaissance man, of sorts, and I'm truly impressed with your accomplishments. What surprises me is that no one has bid on this boat. Any idea why? I am not a sailor but am looking for an entry level boat around this size. I have a wife and three children: 15, 12 and 7. I'm sure that 90% of our sailing will be done here in our own Bay, and not always with five on the boat. Right now we have a 17 foot Whaler and an 18 foot aluminum Princecraft,which are great for fibhing and such; however, would love to sail and this is a great place for it. If you come |

I don't know what made me click on your photo holding a backpack on a mountain on the plentyoffish site but I did. I am glad I did because I have never met a true renaissance man before.
