Susan, Not trying to ignore your request for tips on the Islander. I know we have a dearth of things we did to improve life on ours. Currently am in the yard with our new Morgan, so things will be sort of hectic till we are out . You can feel free to browse my blog that I had when we had the boat, there may be some things there you can find to use. I WILL get back to you, I just beg patience due to the fact that I have problems concentrating on more than one big thing at a time right now....
Oh, here's the info to my blog.*** tried to enter my blog site but the CF rules won't let me, go to sailblogs (google it) search for "follow the journey" You should find me.**** Sent you a friend request too. That way I won't forget you when I finally have a life again after the yard lol. Martha (MJ)
