I've been recently looking over the "Top 10" comments from several months ago, as I also am looking at a nice 36' Willard Vega Offshore up here in the pacific Northwest. I would very much appreciate any information, comments, opinions, and what to look out for on a 1963 model.

10/24 With winds from the northeast this morning, there was a decent migration of waterbirds heading south (west) down Long Island Sound. I conducted a brief "sea"watch from Stratford Point from 10-10:45, and recorded a steady migration of Northern Gannets, DC Cormorants, both loons, and ducks.
