My O'day 192 SailboatSeptember 17, 2010, I traded my S2 6.8 for a 1986 O'day 192. Its little smaller boat that will be easier for me to set up and sail single handed. The S2 would have been difficult to do that.Its has a roller furler for the jib so only raising and lowering the main would require leaving the cockpit. She sailed really nicely in light wind the other evening on the test run I made with the previous owners. This boat is a better fit for sailing on Clearfork reservoir and it will be much easier to trailer to other locations (Lake Erie here I come). There are plenty of minor things to do to make it really nice, but what boat doesn't need things done? The previous owners are very nice folks. They spent a lot of time showing me the ropes (that is more than likely a nautical phrase I think). I can't wait to sail her tomorrow. October 24, 2010Yesterday, I ran the boat from the slip to the ramp and put the boat on the trailer and dropped the mast by myself. That was the first objective achieved of having a smaller boat. Today, I hung the mast diagonally in the garage and was able to close the garage door with the boat in the garage. That was the second objective. I like everything about this boat.Specifications for the ODay 192. Sailing Journal 2010 Work Journal 2010
November 30, 2010I've decided on a name:Testimony: A solemn attestation as to the truth of a matter. Firsthand authentication of a fact. God created us to glorify Him. Our lives are complete or fulfilled when we do that, and so I seek to glorify God. The best way I know to glorify God is to give testimony of what He has done in my life - what He means to me. Thus testimony results in a completed life - a life of fulfillment. Naming the boat "Testimony" is a reminder to me to do that.
Is it O'Day, O'day, or Oday, or something else? My boat has a little plaque that says O'day.. the apostrophe is a penant. August 2012- I created a checklist for rigging to trailer and sail. December 29, 2012With some time available to read during the holidays, I've been reading
Across Islands and Oceans
at http://atomvoyages.com/books.html. I also read some today about the Battle of Lake Erie in 1813. I noticed some towns on Lake Erie that I had not heard of before. This has incented me to make the following list of sailing goals for 2012: April 20, 2013I just put the last week of June on my calendar for crusing the Erie canal. I've got to do it this year! I've been thinking of doing this for a couple of years. The latest issue of Sail magazine has an article about cruising the Erie. I've got to to do it. Connie says she is willing. January 11, 2015She looks kind of lonely and cold there in the garage. I haven't forgotten her though. I did charge her battery a week ago. May 21, 2016 - Sold the boat
