"Navigare necesse est vivere non est necesse."

A quote attributed to Roman General Gnaeus Pompeius, 106-47 B.C.  It has been translated several ways; our favorite is... "Sailing is a necessity, merely living is not."

The first photo is our '87 CS30 (Hull #4669) we owned from 1987-2000, Wind Song, off Ontario Place, Toronto. The CS30 is a great cruiser/racer and we thoroughly enjoyed sailing her in Lake Ontario, the Thousand Islands, and Nova Scotia.
