I plan to do a qualifying sail sometime in September or October, maybe November. If anyone would like to go out at the same time that would be fun. The qualifier requires 100 miles offshore, then 300 additional miles offshore. Mike Meloy says he's going out, too, now that he's glued his radio back together and located the leak in his hatch.
