    Agree..think I will mention it from time to time..Also it might be a
    good place to keep them informed of the new "Liberty Harbor
    Yacht Club" that is being formed. Commodore Len has opened
    a site at libertyharboryachtclub.com check it out...

    I'm inviting NJ sailors who might be at Liberty Landing to join a new group. Just search for Liberty Landing under the Groups tab.

    Hi Johann

    I'm flying back up to the US on 6/5 for the summer. It would be good to get in touch again. CN is at a private dock in Westport.

    Yes, I do sleep!! :-) Decided not to sleep on my boat last nite after returning from meeting friends in Newport. Was suppose to sail today, friend called last nite and said couldn't make it and I was wide awake .....so I turned up the radio and drove home! I'm finding that at times a 25' boat a wee bit small to sleep on...it's that making coffee in the morning that's just not quite as easy! lol Thank you for the compliment...was goofing around with camera phone, trying to figure it out. So, do you sail every weekend? Livaboard? Finally great sailing weather!! Need more coffee, eye's still crossed..just woke up. Terri
