![]() Anna's Blog By: FatCatAnna The Roller Coaster Ride of Diabetes! Whoo! Whoo! I am a Type 1 diabetic diagnosed back in the early 60's as a child. I am living in Montreal, Canada and enjoy scribbling about diabetes from time to time. I’ve had my ups / downs just like any person would experience with going through life - diabetic or not. My motto in life? Diabetes does not control me – I control it!! You can find more posts/discussions at my Facebook page called "The Roller Coaster Ride of Diabetes" and also on Twitter under the name of FatCatAnna. Feel free to follow me at both places or send me a private message!

I used to feel the same way Runnershigh - about people who own sailboats. It's actually an affordable hobby to have if you don't set your sights on a newer boat (ours have all been in the 1980 range). Provided you have a voluntary club like we do it's much cheaper then the "posh" yacht clubs to belong to that you'll find in the big cities. Unfortunately, the season is short here in Canada, but we make the most of it!
All I can say is, today, we have good winds, actually there's a stong wind warning (20-23 knots). We're going against the current, so probably will be motoring, but we may put the jib up aka motor sailing if the wind direction helps us along. Have a good w/e all!

Hi Anna,
I envy you and your husband for having a sail boat and being able to escape the hectic and madness of life whenever you want (and whenever there is enough water). Sorry to hear about Mr. Beauduoin. Have a great time with your new boat. By: FatCatAnna: Jul, 15, 2010 14:11 PM
The Fat Cat recently went up for sale in the Spring - as we had purchased another Catalina sailboat from Marblehead, MA (a 30' Catalina). Today, a few of us helped load up the "litter box", etc. and got the Fat Cat all ready for it's trip to new waters - in Lake Ontario. The new owners are Jarrod and Karolina Armstrong who are both real estate agents and like the name so much that they are keeping it - which makes me very happy.
I will miss the Fat Cat - but it's had many great memories. Still not sure what to call our new sailboat (it's older then the 25' but in good shape). Many ideas will be flowing this weekend with other sailing mates when we go on a club cruise to Waddington, New York. Look for the unnamed sailboat - it will be us :) You can check out the You Tube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWVcDttrhf0) with the Fat Cat going off into the sunset ( actually it was 10h00 - but I'm being poetic here ). ~~~~ \\^^// ~~~~
