Welcome to the club, Clayton.

That is a great car you have and I guess you are looking forward to the Summer! 

I had a great weekend in Souther Maryland in August 1985, with the pleasure of being at the helm of a 64' racing sloop with full sails being filled by the wind down what was called "the Creek"  by the owner!

Regards,

Peter.

big coincidence....the Creek... i was raised in Solomons Island MD, on the Chesapeake Bay. very excited about the Jaguar. Waiting for owner to finish State inspection , so i can take delivery. Car has had a lot of recent work done, saves me a little $$$

I was doing some work for NATO at the time and the heat in August was tremendous,.  I asked if there was a small boat I could borrow to doodle around in the Creek, and this sloop was borrowed with a small crew of three,  It belonged to the Kennedy family since the death of JFK and was being restored to it original beauty by the National Union of Seafarers.

Enjoyable.

I think you will enjoy your Jaguar just as much.

Peter.
