    Sounds great - have fun and enjoy the whole thing, including the 2 AM squall and anchor drill fun. Believe it or not, there's nothing downisland like the Bahamas. Tobago Cays come close but I understand they're loading that with charter boat moorings and charging fees now. Enjoy!

    Funny! Yes, I loved the gift. Thank you. I look forward to possibly getting something different next year!

    Did you know that when Franc and I were in Georgetown last year we got the inspiration for SeaKnots? We loved it. Can't wait to go back. Enjoy!

    Yes, I got the boat out...somewhat a rough ride...I thought you knew. You still like it where you are? We don't hear from you, so I was glad to hear from you. The Marina is placing bets to see if I will hit the bulkhead when I back the boat out of the slip. I did not back it out on the last sail... Don't be a stranger...come to my page some.
