Rowing & Sailing in South Sound

Dear Ted, 

Thanks very much for the great Echo hat and t-shirt!  I got back from a week of vacation, and they were waiting for me.  What a nice surprise!  It was certainly fun to see some other Echo enthusiasts at the Great Cross Sound Race.  I'm proud to be a part of the Echo team!

We went sailing on our vacation in the South Sound, and we brought the Echo along.  It fits nicely on the deck of our trimaran, and when the wind doesn't blow, we just go rowing.  I had a lot of fun playing in the Echo, as did my husband and daughter.  If there was no wind, one person would get in the Echo and row.  The others would motor along behind on the trimaran. If you happen to love to row AND to sail, then whether the wind blows or not, it's still a great day. Next time, I'll row around and wear my cool new Echo hat! 

Best wishes,

Samantha Ritchie
